WAVE OF FAN SUPPORT FOR MIDDLEWEST SENDS THE DEBUT ISSUE BACK TO PRINT FOR A THIRD TIME

Image Comics is pleased to announce that Middlewest #1 has been greenlit for a third printing to keep up with the feverish consumer support for the new series by Eisner Award-winning and New York Timesbestselling creator Skottie Young (I Hate Fairyland, Bully Wars, Deadpool) and Russ Manning Award-winning artist Jorge Corona. The Middlewest #1, third-printing cover will feature exciting new art by Corona. The lands between the coasts are vast, slow to change, and full of hidden magics. Mistakes have been made, and in Middlewest, an unwitting adventurer searches for answers to quell a coming storm that knows his name. A blend of dark fantasy best described as classic Don Bluth animation meets Return to Oz, Middlewest is the tale of Abel, a young boy who must navigate an old land in order to reconcile his family's history. Middlewest #1, 3rd printing (Diamond Code OCT188776) will be available on Wednesday, January 23rd. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, January 7th.

Fans can also subscribe to receive the series delivered by mail within the domestic U.S. on Image Direct. Middlewest #2 (Diamond Code OCT180222) is available and in stores now.
