PORTLAND, Ore. 05/22/2026 — Lost Fantasy #9 by bestselling writer Curt Pires (Indigo Children) and artist Luca Casalanguida (Money), which kicked off a new story arc to the white-hot fantasy series, has sold out yet again. Image will rush Lost Fantasy #9 back-to-print this week in order to keep up with escalating demand.
"Team Lost Fantasy is thrilled and grateful to be headed to a third printing on issue nine—something virtually unheard of in comics," said Pires. "It's been a thrill watching the book explode and gain new readers as they rush to shops to grab issues and join the amazing universe we're building with our friends at image comics. The world of lost fantasy is just beginning, come in and join us."
Enter the Cyber-Ronin! Still reeling from the climatic events of the last arc and his injuries, Henry is thrust into a new case when a mysterious new adversary begins hunting the great hunters!

Select praise for Lost Fantasy:
“Lost Fantasy has chosen a hellishly difficult quarry to pursue: to be goth high-action genre, and obviously smart. It’s inspiring to watch this slide its blade home.” —Kieron Gillen, The Power Fantasy, We Called Them Giants, Die
“A world of wonder, mystery, danger, and magic makes its debut in Image Comics’ new series Lost Fantasy, and after just one issue, I am completely hooked... the unique mix of old magic, monstrous creatures, backstabbing, and epic fantasy is immensely compelling... while you can certainly see elements of Final Fantasy in its DNA, Lost Fantasy still has its own identity and becomes something altogether unique. The series already has my attention, and it has the potential to be something incredibly special.” —ComicBook.com (5/5 stars)
“A unique take on high fantasy…It will also feature a very large sword.” —Comics Beat
“An exciting start to a new fantasy series, introducing readers to a hidden world of monsters, hunters, and magic. With its extended page count, gorgeous artwork, and compelling characters, this debut issue sets the stage for what could be Image Comics' next big hit.” —Gonkbonk
"Magic and mystery are secretly a part of our history in Lost Fantasy, and the world-building feels incredibly unique. Its story and various design elements include undertones reminiscent of Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda (a winning combination), and the cliffhanger ending will leave you clamoring for more. The character designs and settings feel fantastic yet grounded, and the engaging visualization of magic in the book will surely grab your attention." —ComicsOnline
“Lost Fantasy is a classic in the making. This first issue is striking in its execution, blending tones and genres together in a way that is both familiar and endlessly refreshing.” —Get Your Comic On
“The debut issue is chock full of intrigue and mystery, all wrapped up in page-turning action sequences with monsters and magic galore. The comic shines in its pulsating action sequences; it’s bloody and fast-paced. In terms of story, the world building is superb, presenting a fascinating narrative where monsters—trolls, werewolves, and the like—all exist in a magical world beneath our own.” —Comics Bulletin
“Yes, Henry smashes monsters with a massive sword, but Lost Fantasy is meant to be both celebratory of and subversive of popular fiction. It’s Pires and company leaning into and bucking certain elements to tell a story that matters—if only because it’s how they want to pen a fantasy story.” —AIPT
“I believe that comics are the only medium in which you can judge a book by its cover because they are one of the most visual, and this book’s cover sold it for me. Casalanguida’s art and Dale’s colors on this book had me on the line like a fish in a barrel. What I found was a really exciting take on the fantasy genre that seemed to be more inspired by role-playing games than classic fantasy lore.” —Gatecrashers
“An imaginative gauntlet is thrown down that is sure to captivate fans from the opening pages.” —ODPH Podcast
