Success! We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #1 Rushed Back For Second Printing!
Hold onto your hats, Comic Book Addicts! Huge news is coming out of Image Comics today, April 7th, 2025. The debut issue of the highly anticipated series, We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us, has exploded onto the scene! Readers snapped up the first issue so fast that Image Comics is rushing it back to print this week. This immediate success clearly shows the massive excitement surrounding this new title from writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Stefano Landini.
Rosenberg, known for the acclaimed 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank (which is currently being adapted into a film starring Liam Neeson!), teams up with Landini, whose powerful art graced Daredevil and Prodigy. Their collaboration is clearly striking a chord. If you missed out on the first printing, you’ll thankfully have another chance soon. Let’s dive into why this comic is making such waves.
Why the We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us Second Printing Happened
The demand for issue #1 was immediate and overwhelming, leading to quick sell-outs at comic shops across the country. This wasn’t just random chance; several factors fueled the hype. Firstly, Matthew Rosenberg’s profile is rising, especially with the film adaptation news for 4 Kids. Secondly, significant buzz is building thanks to promotional efforts. A popular episode of the Let’s Talk Comics podcast featured an in-depth interview with Rosenberg. Also, a surprise Q&A between Rosenberg and superstar creator Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, The Power Fantasy) generated considerable excitement online.
Furthermore, Rosenberg is currently participating in a massive, national signing tour co-branded as “We’re Taking Everyone Down with Us x You’ll Do Bad Things,” running through the end of this month. This direct engagement with fans undoubtedly boosted interest and drove readers to their local shops.
The creators themselves are thrilled by the response. Stefano Landini stated, “Wow!! Knowing that just a few days after the release, we are already at the second print, makes me even more proud of the work done with Matt and the whole group. It’s really a great start for a great story!”
Rosenberg added: “The response to the first issue has been really overwhelming. But with that, a lot of folks have been reaching out to tell us their local shop sold out. So we’re thrilled that people who missed it will get another chance to grab our weird little sci-fi, revenge, spy, family dramedy.” His description perfectly captures the unique genre blend that makes this series stand out. The need for a We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us second printing confirms readers are eager for this kind of unique story.
What Is We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us? Get Ready for the Second Printing & Issue #2!
So, what’s the story about that has everyone talking? We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us introduces us to 13-year-old Annalise. Her life is thrown into chaos when the world’s greatest spy kills her mad-scientist father. Suddenly, Annalise finds herself completely alone, except for her dad’s surprisingly capable robot bodyguard.
Now, she faces a monumental choice. Does she attempt to build a normal life, something she’s never known? Or does she embrace her father’s legacy, seek vengeance against the spy who orphaned her, and potentially dismantle the entire world order in the process? Rosenberg’s own description calls it a “sci-fi, revenge, spy, family dramedy,” promising a mix of action, intrigue, humor, and heart. This unique premise offers fertile ground for compelling storytelling.
Looking ahead, fans have a big date to mark on their calendars. Both the We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us second printing of issue #1 and the brand-new We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #2 will arrive in comic book shops on the same day: Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
