Seven issues of the wildly popular Assorted Crisis Events series out so far—by writer Deniz Camp, artist Eric Zawadzki, colorist Jordie Bellaire, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou—have been wiped out completely at the distributor level yet again. Image Comics will rush Assorted Crisis Events #1-7 back to print this week in order to keep up with surging demand.
In Assorted Crisis Events, Time has no bounds in this world, and readers will follow in the footsteps of normal people who are just trying to get through a normal day, but instead have to deal with time loops and space portals, confused time travelers from different eras, and alternate dimensional versions of themselves…all while just taking a stroll down the street. Meanwhile, the overarching story dives into what caused the rules of time to suddenly shift, and if it’s possible to reverse the damage. Fans of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Black Mirror, and Doctor Who will enjoy this time-bending, clock-shattering new series.
Available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 6.

A new series set in the world of LOST FANTASY!
Aaron Hillburg was just another rich-kid failson — ghosting his responsibilities, hopping rooftops, and hating his billionaire father in peace… until a mysterious floating dragon egg bonds to him and ignites a hidden lineage of ancient magic inside his body.
Now every violent outlaw wizard, biker cultist, and supernatural warlord between New York City and The World Beneath is hunting him — and they’ll burn the world down to pry the egg from his corpse.
A high octane fusion of fantasy and superheroes perfect for fans of Invincible, How To Train Your Dragon and Absolute Batman.
The wildly popular D’orcby Brett Bean has sold out yet again at the distributor level. Issue #2 will be rushed back to print this week by Image Comics in order to keep up with unending momentum for this hot new series.
In D’orc #2, D’orc is avoiding every wizard and warrior because some DOOMSDAY prophecy says he will destroy the world. Can he change their minds? Probably not. D’Orc, his magic shield, and Ghost-chicken-with-its-head-cutoff are too busy facing a bigger challenge, KIDS!?! They’re time thieves. Oh, and there’s a Time Lord.
Armed with nothing but a wisecracking enchanted shield and a crippling need for friendship, D’orc follows a lonely orphan who stumbles headfirst into Sunderaine’s never-ending war. Light vs. Dark. Elves vs. Orcs. Wizards vs. Common Sense. Dragons vs. Literally Everyone. And caught dead-center? D’orc. Half dwarf, half orc, and wholly inconvenient to a doomsday prophecy, D’orc is destined to end the world. Soon, every human, elf, goblin, dwarf, Snargletooth, Necroid, Ice Giant, Trauma Llama, and at least three other unpronounceable magical creatures will know his name. Unfortunately, so will his enemies.
The D’orc #2, third printing (Lunar Code 0326IM8110) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 6.
Uncanny Avengers duo Rick Remender and Daniel Acuña introduce readers to a brutal, fully painted world of anthropomorphic animals in the upcoming graphic novel military thriller, Escape, Vol. 1hitting shelves this Spring from Image Comics.
Escape follows Milton Shaw, a battle-hardened bomber pilot flying missions over a war-torn world ruled by a ruthless empire. But when his plane is shot out of the sky, Milton wakes up behind enemy lines—in the smoldering ruins of a city he helped burn. And in less than 24 hours, his own side is dropping the big one to finish the job.
Now injured, unarmed, and being hunted through enemy streets, Milton’s only shot at escape comes from the unlikeliest place: a grieving father and his son—civilians shattered by the same fascist regime that rules this land with an iron claw. Enemies by blood. Allies by circumstance. Together, they’ll have to fight their way out before the bomb drops and erases everything…and everyone.
Perhaps best described as Inglourious Basterds meets Blacksad or Maus, this gritty, bullet-riddled journey through war’s scorched aftermath is about the violence we inflict, the souls we try to save, and the courage it takes to crawl out of fire.
Escape, Vol. 1 trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534333147, Lunar Code 0126IM0467) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, May 27 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, June 23.
