Skybound/Image Comics, in collaboration with Hasbro, announced that Scarlett #1, by writer Kelly Thompson (Black Widow, Birds of Prey) and artist Marco Ferrari (Frontiersman) will return with a new second printing after selling out at the all-important distribution level.
And another Energon hit on their hands, as Sean Mackiewicz, SVP/Publisher notes:
“As we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Energon Universe, Scarlett #1 has set a new sales record for the G.I. JOE franchise. Along with the upcoming Destro #1, Skybound continues to deliver new readers into comic stores by pairing incredible talent with an unmatched shared universe experience.”
Alyse D’Antuono, Vice President, Global Brand Strategy & Management, Action Brands at Hasbro added:
“The G.I. JOE franchise is breaking comic records by selling out a female-lead story written by a prolific female comic book writer. Since our historic introduction of the epic Energon Universe last summer, the teams at Skybound and Image Comics have been fantastic partners, helping to expand the shared universe with thrilling adventures and remarkable storytelling. It’s amazing to see such an overwhelmingly positive response for Scarlett #1 from fans.”
Scarlett #1: Second Printing will be out on July 17th, 2024 with the covers you can see displayed on here.
