What are /co/'s thought on Image Comics? Do they have any

I think Image has some great comics coming out right now

She Wolf
Rumble
Pretty Deadly
Prophet Earth War
Island

You also have stuff like Dark Corridor, The Nameless, Head Lopper, and The Humans that's all very recent and finished

Only thing I've been reading from Image currently is the Fix, which is great.

I ocassionally read something from them that isnt the walking dead.

I read Beauty if that counts, the first 6 issues are good after that you can drop it.

>>85155055
The Humans was cancelled, wasn't it?

>>85155272
They finished the 10 issues they set out to do, but I believe said they may do more if they feel like it.

>>85154676
Invisible Republic is really good, I also like Manifest Destiny and Wytches even though it is never going to be finished, and they're putting out Stray Bullets now which is one of the best crime comics ever. You can also check out the Wally Awards for some recommendations, they're a fan voted award for Image titles, that have been going on for a long time.
>>85155358
There's another arc which is going to prison-based.

A girl friend of mine talks about Wicked and Divine like its the second coming of christ.

>>85155619
>There's another arc which is going to prison-based.
okay good. I wasn't sure if they were just going back to the small press scene making more comics about Henry Rollins and Danzig

>>85155661
I couldn't get into it at all, but I'm also just not a music person

Rumble
The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw
Nowhere Men
Black Road
The Discipline
Mirror
Prophet
Cry Havoc
From Under Mountains
She Wolf

That's what I'm reading from them currently, they've got good books and bad books just like any other company. Just pick artists and writers you enjoy.

>>85155716
Bottom 5 worst series Image has ever released:
5. Bomb Queen
4. Alex + Ada
3. ODY-C
2. The Wicked + The Divine
1. Shadowhawk

>>85155176
Definitely going to pick this up when the trade comes out. Does it look like Spencer has a plan for it or is it shaping up to be an asspull comic like Morning Glories?

Cant believe any hasnt said descender yet. That shit is gold.

>>85158708
I like it a lot
It's weird though, is it just me or does it feel like it's already ending soon?

>>85154676
Prophet
The Fade Out
Manifest Destiny
Tokyo Ghost

No Kill or Be Killed storytime yesterday, did anybody read it? How was it?

>>85156748
Fraction and Gillen are overrated. Being Silvestri is suffering.

The Autumnlands

And I'm interested in:
Black Science
Birthright
Deadly Class
Low
Wolf

but they're all a few issues (or trades) in, and shit costs money, yo (if i'm gonna read indie, I wanna support the official release).

I really want a good book to come out about 90's Image and how the founders were always competing and sometimes stealing from each other. Valentino got jacked pretty good by Jim Lee when Lee basically stole away Alan Moore to work on ABC at Wildstorm

>>85163101
No it was before that, Alan Moore wrote a bunch of WILDC.A.T.S. which all came about when Jim Lee said he wanted to draw the last issue of 1963 so he got the job, but then he never delivered, then Liefeld left the company so the whole thing had to be rewritten, but Jim had already established a relationship with Moore so they just did something else

>>85163047
Low is pretty as fuck but lacks subtlety

Black Science is way more fun

>>85163229
Liefeld brought Moore with him, continuing his Supreme run at Maximum Press and Awesome. After that Moore established ABC at Wildstorm.

Tumblr Pandering as fuck.

Turns out the makers of the comic dictate the quality and not the company publishing them. Weird.

Ideal Image is more shit with real comic makers like Island and less Marvel bros on vacation.

Youngblood is just a series that just wont die.

Only two Image-published things I've gotten lately are the Mike Allred Madman TPBs and The Humans. Both of which I'm loving.

Yes, I know, Madman's from Dark Horse, I think? But at least the TPBs contain the Hellboy/Savage Dragon crossover/cameo books.

Okay, well I liked that. I'm glad to see this team doing something other than noir. But it didn't feel half-assed, like "everybody's saying all we do is crime comics, let's do something else". It's actually fresh and interesting, it feels like it's something they probably needed to do for a while.

I'll post this other junk too

most of my pull list is Image at this point

East of West
Nailbiter
Black Science
Outcast
Birthright
Autumnland
Descender
Injection
Tokyo Ghost
Black Magick
Ringside
The Fix

The worst thing about Image is that so many books start but some just suffer from massive delays or are effectively canceled due to whatever shenanigans the writer or artist go through

>>85154676
Who is that big, burly,clawed dude on the right? The one that looks like an Edgelord Hulk.

>>85165647
Pitt, by Dale Keown
He was one of the earliest Image books not created by one of the founders. It's funny you say he looks like the Hulk because in true early Image fashion, Keown was a Marvel expat and had just come off a Hulk run. Just like Lee, Liefeld and Silvestri all had comics like X-Men and McFarlane and Larsen had comics that were kind of like Spider-Man, he did one like the Hulk.

Thanks for the story time. I kind of like how pathetic the MC is, even after he accepts the demon's offer. Im interested where this will go.

I liked Wytches and Black Magick, but those are both on hiatus for a while now. At least they both seem to be sincerely on an actual hiatus with timetables for their return instead Bedlam-esque hiatus.

I like the Fix, it's funny. And Prophet Earth War is more Prophet so obviously it's good.

Otherwise I've tried a lot of their new books and they just don't do it for me. Also not a fan of Kirkman or BKV's writing, so their longer books aren't something I'm interested in either.

>>85154676
Locke and Key was a great series. I also read a few volumes of Morning Glories but dropped it. I know Locke and Key is complete, don't know about MG.

>>85171869

Looks like it's time for you to comb through this thread and start learning more about Image.

>>85164602
>Yes, I know, Madman's from Dark Horse, I think?

It's jumped publishers twice. The first two minis were published by some small publisher, then Dark Horse picked up the first ongoing, the second ongoing and everything since has been published by Image

>>85171693
>Also not a fan of Kirkman or BKV's writing, so their longer books aren't something I'm interested in either.
Try Revival, it's excellent

>>85165389
>I need to see this movie

You really should. The entire Death Wish series is quite fun. The first is a great, truly serious vigilante film that handles the subject with gravitas, the rest of them slowly and progressively turn sillier. Three is actually amazing as a shlocky 80s "one man against an over the top punk gang" action movie. Two, four and five are okay, but nothing particularly great like one and three. Two is basically first movie all over again, kinda boring, set in L.A., IIRC. But it's got Laurence Fishburn in one of his first movie roles. Five's super goofy and Bronson's basically got one foot in the grave but it's really fun and hilariously low budget. For some reason I can't remember anything about four.

>>85172205

I think I lost interest around #20. Just didn't seem to go anywhere.

>>85154676
It's too bad that the artists in Image all had such huge egos. Image coulda' shaped up to have a pretty cool shared universe.

I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but I always loved The Walking Dead, it has the chicken nugget appeal I lean towards to.

prophet and prophet earth war are excellent and well worth reading. Sad the ride is almost over ;__;

It's better that they got away from that if you ask me. That way we got a bunch of small universes that were coherent instead of one huge shitty universe run by different people who were barely speaking to each other.

Hi Brandon.

I think creators at Image should do whatever the fuck they want, but I do see where Brandon is coming from. There should be more stories that push the medium forward (Island, Head Lopper, Zero, She Wolf) and less Vertigo-lite psuedo-TV pitch shit. I suppose that's down to Eric Stephenson though and what he approves of

Latest Image Expo was a slate of forgettable announcements

Also more GNs please

>>85184371
>Latest Image Expo was a slate of forgettable announcements
I'm stoked for Moonshine, after Southern Bastards I want more redneck crime comics.

>>85184371
>that push the medium forward (Island, Head Lopper, Zero, She Wolf)


None of these books are "push the medium forward", they're just weird and different.

>>85187670
Yeah this. If you want to talk about a book pushing the medium forward you talk about Prophet trying to bring back pulp sci fi or Starlight trying to revive the contained 6 issue mini series.

>>85188319
>pushing the medium forward
>bring back
>revive

>>85165018
A bit of a weird introduction but I'm interested enough to keep reading.

>>85188319
Miniseries never went anywhere mate, what are you talking about

>>85165875
Savage Dragon was nothing like Spider-Man at all.

>>85190305
Eh, you've got a guy who doesn't want to be on a team, he constantly struggles with the public perception of him, huge supporting cast and rogues gallery, tons of girls who want to fuck him.
It's not exactly like Spider-Man but it's similar enough to note. It's probably more like Spider-Man than Spawn is honestly.

>>85191824
Spawn is just Venom with Frank Miller's Batman/Daredevil mixed in

>>85162641
>innocent black kids
kek, I knew Brubaker was cucked.

>>85162732
>muh evil white man dissing a proud African sista
Good thing I like the art or I'd have to drop this already.

>>85191824
>doesn't want to be on a team
He is a cop for the first 40 issues, he starts a team right after that. He is also an amniesiac space alien- as opposed to being a native new yorker on the run from the law.
He is like spider-Man because he has a supporting cast, I guess?

>>85193869
Eh he resigns from the team not too long after though unless I remember wrong. He realizes it isn't for him. As for being a cop, I meant a super team.

Anyways like I said it's not a ton like Spidey, but it was in Larsen's wheelhouse, let's put it that way.

>>85191824
I'd say SD is more like Smart Hulk than Spidey.

>>85195220
More like wolverine than either of the others mentioned.

Hairy little guy who heals fast and fights crime in civvies as often as a uniform? That's SD right there.

Lady killer, superskilled amnesiac with a hidden past who does things his own way, to hell with the rules? SD, mah nigga.

Realtalk, Larsen has gone super cuck SJW these days and SD is a mess. I only buy it because I'm rich and I have every issue ever, so I don't want to stop now. RIP in pieces, Larsen's Balls, you will be missed.
