Image Comics Rushes Fireborn #2 Back to Print After Another Sellout
The fire is spreading fast.
Fireborn #2 has officially sold out at the distributor level again, and Image Comics is rushing the issue back to print to keep up with demand. The new second printing will feature electric new cover art by Briane Andan and will arrive at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
Created by Curt Pires, Franklin Jonas, and Patrick Mulholland, Fireborn has quickly become one of the breakout fantasy-action comics of the year. The series comes from the world of Lost Fantasy and mixes superhero spectacle, ancient magic, dragon mythology, and city-smashing action into one high-energy package.

Fireborn #2 Sells Out Again
The momentum behind Fireborn is not slowing down.
After another complete sellout at the distributor level, Fireborn #2 is heading back to print with a new second printing cover. That is a strong signal that readers and retailers are responding to the series’ mix of fantasy, superhero action, and supernatural chaos.
Series creator Curt Pires thanked fans and retailers for helping make the book a hit, calling the support humbling and exciting.
That enthusiasm makes sense. Fireborn has a hook that is easy to understand and hard to ignore: a rich-kid failson gets bonded to a mysterious floating dragon egg, awakens an ancient magical lineage, and suddenly becomes the target of every dangerous supernatural force between New York City and The World Beneath.
That is the kind of premise built to grab attention.
What Is Fireborn About?
Fireborn follows Aaron Hillburg, a reckless young man who thought his biggest problems were family drama, rooftop rebellion, and hating his billionaire father in peace.
Then the dragon egg found him.
Once Aaron bonds with the mysterious egg, everything changes. Ancient magic ignites inside him, and his hidden lineage turns him into something far more dangerous than he understands. Unfortunately for Aaron, power does not arrive quietly.
Now outlaw wizards, biker cultists, supernatural warlords, and violent forces from The World Beneath are hunting him down. They do not just want the egg. They are willing to burn everything down to rip it from his corpse.
That setup gives Fireborn a huge amount of energy. It is part superhero origin story, part urban fantasy, part dragon mythology, and part supernatural chase comic.
Why Readers Are Catching Fire
The reason Fireborn is connecting is simple: it feels big.
This is not a small, quiet fantasy story. It opens up a world where magic is ancient, violent, and fully capable of tearing through the modern city. The preview pages sell that scale immediately, with rooftop views, explosive supernatural energy, black-armored figures, dragon imagery, and massive attacks lighting up the skyline.
The series also has a strong emotional engine.
Aaron is not a polished chosen one. He is messy, angry, privileged, reckless, and completely unprepared for the power now inside him. That makes him interesting. He is not stepping into destiny with confidence. He is being dragged into it while everyone around him realizes the stakes before he does.
That gives the story a fun balance of chaos and character growth.
A High-Octane Fusion of Fantasy and Superheroes
Image Comics describes Fireborn as a high-octane fusion of fantasy and superheroes, and that is exactly the lane this series is racing through.
The comparison points are strong: Invincible, How to Train Your Dragon, and Absolute Batman. That combination says a lot about the tone. Readers should expect brutal action, mythic creature energy, big emotional stakes, and a lead character being pushed far beyond what he thinks he can survive.
The superhero side brings the spectacle.
The fantasy side brings the mythology.
The urban setting brings the danger close to home.
That mix gives Fireborn its identity. It is not just another capes-and-powers story, and it is not traditional sword-and-sorcery either. It is modern fantasy violence crashing straight into superhero-style momentum.
Fireborn #2 Second Printing Cover
The Fireborn #2 second printing features new artwork by Briane Andan.
The cover is loud, electric, and aggressive, showing a monstrous armored figure bursting forward through neon pink energy. It immediately captures the tone of the series: explosive, dangerous, supernatural, and impossible to ignore on the shelf.
Second printings can become collector favorites when a series catches fire early, especially when the new cover art feels distinct from the first printing. This one has that kind of visual punch.
Collectors who missed the first printing should keep an eye on this release.
Fireborn #3 Arrives Before the Second Printing
While Fireborn #2 second printing arrives on July 1, readers will not have to wait that long for the next chapter.
Fireborn #3 is scheduled to hit comic book shops on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
The cover lineup for Fireborn #3 includes:
Cover A by Patrick Mulholland

Why New Readers Should Jump In
New readers should pay attention to Fireborn because this is exactly the kind of creator-owned series that rewards early interest.
The concept is easy to sell: a young man bonds with a dragon egg, unlocks ancient magic, and becomes the target of a supernatural underworld that wants him dead.
That is a strong hook.
The sellouts suggest the audience is growing quickly, and the second printing gives readers another chance to catch up before the series moves deeper into Aaron’s transformation, the mystery of the egg, and the larger world of magic hunting him.
If you like comics with big action, messy heroes, secret magical lineages, dragon mythology, and city-level chaos, Fireborn belongs on your pull list.
Final Thoughts: Fireborn Is Heating Up Fast
Fireborn #2 selling out again is a clear sign that the series has momentum.
Curt Pires, Franklin Jonas, and Patrick Mulholland have launched a comic with a sharp hook, strong visual identity, and enough fantasy-superhero energy to stand out in a crowded market. The second printing gives readers another chance to jump into the story while demand is still climbing.
With Fireborn #3 arriving June 24 and Fireborn #2 second printing following on July 1, now is the right time to catch up.
The dragon egg has hatched trouble.
Aaron Hillburg is in over his head.
And Fireborn is quickly becoming one of Image Comics’ most exciting new fantasy-action releases.
