Exclusive: PANICK Entertainment announces a T.A.M.A. #1 Second Printing Before Release, Featuring Two Brand-New Covers
We have the exclusive initial reveal that PANICK Entertainment‘s T.A.M.A. #1, the debut issue of its flagship title, is nearly sold out at the distributor level. Due to overwhelming demand from retailers and customers, a second printing is now underway featuring two brand-new variant covers by legendary designer and illustrator Jim Fletcher, paying homage to the iconic style of classic Pokémon trading cards. In addition, the enormously popular Tony Fleecs Cover B videogame homage variant from the first printing will be re-issued in a gorgeous rainbow foil format, also as a 1:10 incentive cover across both second printing variants. This second printing will be exclusively distributed by the Massive Indies section of the Lunar catalog.
Due to continued demand, PANICK is introducing a special 1:10 rainbow foil reprint of the original Cover B. This limited incentive will be available to retailers who order ten combined copies of the second printing’s Cover A and Cover B, with an MSRP of $20.00. The foil edition celebrates the momentum behind T.A.M.A. and gives fans another chance to own a standout version of the launch that’s generating serious buzz.
Written by Adam Schlagman and Doug Pasko, with interior art by Daniel HDR, T.A.M.A. tells the chilling story of Kit, a lonely teen who finds companionship in a mysterious virtual pet device — only to discover it’s connected to a string of gruesome deaths. It’s Pokémon meets Child’s Play, and readers have taken notice.
T.A.M.A. is the kind of series that catches fire because of word of mouth, and clearly, word is spreading fast. We’re beyond grateful to retailers and customers for making our first book such a success, and we assure you that we are just getting started.
-PANICK Publisher and Co-Founder Kris Longo
PANICK’s success with T.A.M.A. is exactly why we created the Massive Indies program — to give independent publishers the tools, infrastructure, and support to break through with bold original series. The impending sell-out and second printing aren’t just a win for PANICK, they’re proof of concept that this partnership works.
-Michael Calero, CEO/Founder of Massive Indies
The second printing will hit shops August 27, 2025, just in time for late-summer conventions and back-to-school buzz. Final order cutoff is July 28, 2025 via Lunar/Massive Indies. Retailers are encouraged to place their reorders quickly, as print runs will be limited.
