DC Comics has revealed Batman – One Bad Day: The Riddler has sold out and will be getting a second printing. If you missed out on the first printing, second printing copies will be available in comic book shops on September 27th. The second printing will come with a new cover featuring a redesigned take on Giuseppe Camuncoli and Arif Prianto’s artwork for the Batman – One Bad Day: The Riddler Premium variant. Additionally, DC offers a 1:25 foil ratio variant of the Batman – One Bad Day: The Riddler Second Printing, using a desaturated version of Mitch Gerads’ main cover from the first printing. Both will have a cover price of $7.99.
Our own Rory Wilding had this to say about the special extra-sized one-shot (read the full review here):
“An excellent start for the One Bad Day series, as Tom King and Mitch Gerads deliver a compelling psychological thriller about one of the greatest villains the Dark Knight has confronted.”
