Retailers Demand More! Tigress Island #1 Rushed Back to Print Before It Even Hits Shelves

Yo Comic Crusaders crew… strap in, because Tigress Island is already causing a straight-up comic shop earthquake before the first issue even hits the racks!

The bare-knuckled, grindhouse madness of Tigress Island—brought to life by fan-favorite writer Patrick Kindlon (Gehenna, Stringer) and the powerhouse artist EPHK (MAWRTH VALLIIS, Harpy)—has completely SOLD OUT at the distributor level before release day even arrived. Yeah… you read that right. Before fans even got their hands on it, the demand already exploded.

This debut issue now joins a growing squad of red-hot Image Comics launches selling out at hyperspeed, including Doug Wagner and Daniel Hillyard’s Narco, Andrew MacLean and Alex Zeritt’s Death Fight Forever, William Harms and J.P. Mavinga’s White Sky, and Brett Bean’s D’orc. That’s some serious company—and Tigress Island just planted its flag right in the middle of that must-read lineup. Because of the wild surge in retailer reorders, Image Comics is already rushing Tigress Island #1 back to print this week to keep up with the demand. That’s the kind of momentum every creator dreams about and every comic fan loves to see.

   

So here’s the Comic Crusaders pro tip: if you want a copy from the first printing, you better move fast. Hit up your local comic shop ASAP and lock one down before those copies vanish off shelves like ninjas in the night. Writer Patrick Kindlon shared the love with fans and retailers, saying:

“Sending a big thank you to readers and retailers for their support of Tigress Island. Issue #1 sales were great, so a second printing feels like icing on the cake. And there’s no such thing as too much icing, so feel free to push it to another reprint!”

Artist EPHK echoed the excitement:

“We took a gamble thinking readers might be hungry for a book like Tigress Island, and it’s been amazing to see that it’s true. We appreciate the support—and trust us, we won’t let you down!”

Now let’s talk about what this wild ride is actually about. On Tigress Island, a crew of washed-up starlets suddenly find themselves kidnapped, shackled, and dumped on a brutal jungle prison island run by a vicious, velvet-gloved warden who rules the place like a devil in designer heels. Survival isn’t guaranteed, trust is dangerous, and the only shot at freedom is to band together, break their chains, and outrun betrayal at every turn. And according to Image Comics Publisher and Chief Creative Officer Eric Stephenson, the creative chemistry behind this book is pure comic book lightning:

“For anyone familiar with their earlier work, both at Image and elsewhere, Patrick Kindlon and EPHK likely seemed like a match made in comic book heaven. But seeing is believing, and the potency of their collaboration explodes off the page in a way even I wasn’t expecting.”

Bottom line, Comic Crusaders family—Tigress Island is bringing a sweat-soaked cocktail of grindhouse action, attitude, danger, double-crosses, and explosive revenge. If you’re into comics that punch you in the face and dare you to come back for more… this one is already proving it’s one of the hottest launches of the year. Tigress Island #1, second printing (Lunar Code 0126IM8551) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, April 1.
