PORTLAND, Ore. 05/08/2026 — Bestselling co-writers Matthew Rosenberg (We're Taking Everyone Down With Us, 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank) and Mark Elijah Rosenberg (Approaching the Unknown, Year Million), artist extraordinaire Andy Macdonald (Doctor Strange, Wonder Woman), colorist Francesco Segala, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou have a bonafide hit on their hands with a complete sell-out at the distributor level of If Destruction Be Our Lot #1. This action-packed, sci-fi thrill-ride is being rushed back to print this week by Image Comics in order to keep up with escalating demand.
This second printing will feature cover art by frequent-Matthew Rosenberg collaborator Tyler Boss and pays homage to the pair’s What’s the Furthest Place from Here? series’ issue #1 cover.
"It is always pretty terrifying to be putting your big, weird, and really personal stories out into the world. But it's all worth it when people show up,” said Matthew Rosenberg. “We're so thankful for everyone who wanted to join all of us and Abe on this journey and we're so happy now even more people will be able to."
In If Destruction Be Our Lot, humanity is extinct and all that remains are the robots who once helped us.The robots are happier now, doing their work without human interference. But not Abe, a robotic replicant of Abraham Lincoln in search of meaning beyond the daily grind. Abe believes there must be something more out there beyond the edge of the city. After nearly getting killed, he's determined to wander the Earth until he finds it... or gets recycled trying.
