Image Week 3 Storytime: Godland

25 years ago a bunch of Marvel artists left the Big Two and decided to form their company, with blackjack and hookers. This company would eventually become the closest to a third competitor for DC and Marvel (lol) and the best known creator-owned comic book company out there.

Now it's time for what I like to call the Pre-Saga era, when Image was trying to shed away their "extreme" 90's self and not many were paying attention to them. There were some break-out hits, but not as much as today.

Next up is an ode to Kirby, Starlin and the like, Joe Casey and Tom Scioli's Godland

Next week is the last Image week, so for everyone who's been waiting for me to finish so I can get back to the Invincible storytime, the wait is almost over.

Godland is so good.

It really captured the feeling you get from Kirby, but wrapped in the modern age. Tom Scioli is one of the few artists I've seen that look and feel like Kirby, but have their own identity outside of that similarity. He and Ladronn both, actually.

I'd love to see something like this again one day.

Since you're storytiming I might give this a try. Scioli is amazing but I cannot stand Casey.

It's probably Casey's best work, which I know isn't saying much to someone who doesn't like him (I'm not the biggest fan of his either), but still, worth a read through the first arc at least.

That's all for Image Week 3. Thanks for reading, and see you next time for Image Week 4: The Final Chapter, where we will explore modern Image.

Godland was about 11 issues in when I really got into comics. I was always fascinated by it, bit I never got around to reading it. One of the few I have left on my list.
