It will come as no surprise that Terminal #1 from Robert Kirkman, Joe Casey, Andy Kubert and friends has sold well – an official announcement of a second printing has already gone out – but just how well did it sell? Noted sales figure bean-spiller Kirkman was a guest in our media room at SDCC, and I gently prodded him for a number and he come through: 300,000 copies! You can see the conversation at about 11:40 of the above video.
As for that second printing, it will have two new covers by Rick Leonardi and Neeraj Menon, arriving in comic shops on August 26, 2026.
Kirkman and co. had more quotes from the OFFICIAL news release:
“This is one of the coolest comics ever made from the coolest creative teams in comics,” mused writer Robert Kirkman. “I’ll be surprised if we’re not announcing the 3rd printing of issue #1 before I finish typing this quote!”
“It’s really gratifying to see the early response to a book we’ve all worked so hard on for so long,” remarked writer Joe Casey. “Now we can add Rick Leonardi to the list of legendary artists we’re bringing aboard the Terminal train. And this is only the first issue — it only gets better from here!”
“I’m so happy and excited that Terminal has been received this well to be awarded a second printing on our first issue!!” exclaimed artist Andy Kubert. “After working on it for the last few years, fans are finally getting to see all the passion that Robert, Joe, Dave, Rus, Alex, and I have put into it. The best is yet to come!”
“Surprise! Another legend is drawing Terminal,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “This time it’s Rick Leonardi, joined by colorist Neeraj Menon. He’ll be doing a whole series of second printing covers, so let’s get those sell-outs going so we can reveal even more amazing art!”
As for the logline:
In Terminal #1, a secret war is being waged across the world by two violent forces with superhuman abilities who blur the lines between good and evil.
When Marilyn Howe’s search for her missing sister Alessandra puts her in the center of this conflict, she’ll learn that the power to save the world comes from unlocking your genetic code and giving up everything you thought you knew about yourself…if you survive the experience.
