Image Comics Announces No More Second Printings

As I'm sure many of you already know, Image Comics has become the latest publisher to suffer from shipping delays from printers due to the paper shortages currently sweeping the nation and today sent out a notice to retailers stating that as of now, they will no longer be producing second, third, fourth, or additional printings of their titles for the foreseeable future. In the statement, Image also announced they would be modifying their release schedule to help combat issues with shipments. 

you can read the full statement from Image below.

"FIRST THINGS FIRST. As many of you are now undoubtedly aware, the current shipping delays, supply chain crunch, and paper shortages are creating nationwide issues across many industries—and that impacts our industry too. I'm sure every publisher will have a different response to this crisis, but at Image we're proactively streamlining our releases to reflect these circumstances.
STARTING NOW, AND FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, THERE WILL BE NO SECOND PRINTINGS OF ANY TITLE
Please keep this in mind as you order: there will be limited stock available for re-orders, and we will not be reprinting anything that sells through at the distributor level. We are also adjusting the schedule of upcoming titles over the next few weeks to reflect a more responsible usage of raw material availability. This week is a lighter offering than what you might have expected. And these printings will be the only printings. All that said
Let's get to work."

We will continue to monitor the shortage issue and bring any future news and updates to you as soon as they become available.
