About the series
In 2022, Image Comics collected the first issue of Skottie Young and Jorge Corona’s acclaimed fantasy-western Middlewest as part of their Image Firsts line, a series of low-cost reprint one-shots designed to introduce new readers to fan-favorite titles. This single issue launches the story of a young boy and his fox companion fleeing a violent, storm-touched landscape, with Young’s heartfelt writing and Corona’s lush, expressive art creating a vivid world of magic and Americana. As a gateway to the larger series, it captures the emotional weight and visual wonder that made Middlewest a standout modern fable.
