More Skybound/Image Comics Second Printings — ‘M.A.S.K.’ #1 And ‘Radiant Black’ #42

It’s the end of the week, and it would seem it’s been a good week for Skybound and Image Comics, who both had sell-out success with Skybound’s M.A.S.K. #1 and Image’s Radiant Black #42 getting orders for second printings.

M.A.S.K. #1  is by writer Dan Watters, artist Pye Parr, colourist Pierluigi Casolino, and letterer Rus Wooton, with the new printing featuring covers by artist Jason Howard and Parr.

“In M.A.S.K. #1, the world is becoming a terrifying place. Matt Trakker needs your help saving it. Enter M.A.S.K. — a network of specialists ready to respond to the next global emergency. At a moment’s notice, Trakker and his agents can deploy bleeding-edge technology that converts their vehicles — and their drivers–into the ultimate weapon. But Miles Mayhem and V.E.N.O.M. are one step ahead in a secret arms race, scouring the globe for deadly weapons from this planet and beyond, ready to sell out the entire human race. Only M.A.S.K. can stop them … but will Trakker’s own secrets jeopardize their entire mission?”

M.A.S.K. #1 second printing is out on Wednesday, 8th July, 2026.

Then there’s Radiant Black #42 that also gets a second printing. Possibly because of the “arc’s jaw-dropping finale kicked off a flurry of buzz among the fandom and a spike in demand that triggered an immediate sell-out at the distributor level”.

“As Jack Marlow’s parade marches the streets of Chicago, Radiant Black and Horizon are set on a collision course from which neither will emerge unscathed! Readers won’t want to miss this 5th anniversary issue with an ending that once again will change Radiant Black forever.”

Radiant Black #42 is by Kyle Higgins, Joe Clark, and Marcelo Costa and is out on Wednesday, 1st July from Image Comics.
