PORTLAND, Ore. 04/17/2026 — Lost Fantasy creator Curt Pires (Indigo Children), singer/songwriter Franklin Jonas, and rising star artist Patrick Mulholland’s new series Fireborn hit big this week and has sold out completely at the distributor level. The debut issue of this new series is being rushed back to print this week by Image Comics in order to keep up with escalating demand.
The reprint cover will showcase art by Patrick Mulholland. There will also be a highly collectible foil Absolute Batman homage variant available.
In Fireborn, Aaron Hillburg was just another rich-kid failson—ghosting his responsibilities, hopping rooftops, and hating his billionaire father in peace… until a mysterious floating dragon egg bonds to him and ignites a hidden lineage of ancient magic inside his body. Now every violent outlaw wizard, biker cultist, and supernatural warlord between New York City and The World Beneath is hunting him—and they’ll burn the world down to pry the egg from his corpse.
A high octane fusion of fantasy and superheroes, this new series is perfect for fans of Invincible, How To Train Your Dragon, and Absolute Batman.
"Franklin and I are thrilled and grateful for the rapturous response to Fireborn #1," said Pires. "We knew people were enthusiastic about the book, but the response exceeded even our wildest expectations. The creative team is already dug in and hard at work on the next issues of Fireborn and committed to telling a long lasting ongoing series that the fans have voted for with their dollars. The next great Image Comics hero is here, jump aboard."
Fireborn #1, second printing Cover A by Patrick Mulholland (Lunar Code 0326IM8365) and Fireborn #1, second printing Cover B foil Absolute Batman homage (Lunar Code 0326IM8397) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 13.
Fireborn is also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
