Image Comics' DIE #1 has returned with an astounding fifth printing.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- Image Comics' Die #1 by New York Times bestselling creator Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine) and artist Stephanie Hans is being rushed back for an encore fifth printing due to overwhelming fan interest in the series and to keep up with the series' breakneck growth.

"We felt entirely sure that the fourth printing would be the last, but with another instant sell-out means we just have to go back again," said Gillen. "We'll be trying to print to match this shocking and humbling demand. High fives to everyone who's joining us on this fantasy adventure."

Die is a pitch-black fantasy where a group of adults have to deal with the returning unearthly horror they barely survived as teenage role-players. The series is perhaps best described as "Goth Jumanji"—but that only captures a sliver of what you'll find in this series where fantasy gets all too real.

Die #1, 5th printing (Diamond Code FEB198164) and will be available on Wednesday, April 17. The final order cutoff deadline for comic shop retailers is Monday, March 25.

Die is also available for purchase across many digital platforms, including the official Image Comics iOS app, Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.
