"What's Your Image?"

[BrikHed21]

Call me crazy, and you would not be the first, but I swear that Image is at the top of it's game right now with all of the amazing books out there. Everyone always focuses on the BIG TWO but right now it is hard to question what Image is putting out there. What Image books are you reading now? It seems like there are so many to choose from across the board.

What saddens you? The number of issues released in a year or the qaulity of the book? :confused:

The drop off in quality. This used to be one of my favorite books. It's just tired now. Too silly, not an even match of humour and danger like in the old days. Definitely, needs more "Oh @#^%$#" moments!

[zombie bill]

Fell and Mice Templar. Oh wait, and Madman too, but I dunno why anymore..

[metal_hellsp]

....yeah, let's not even get started talking about GODSLAYER. That will take a while to get over :(
Definitely, it was an amazing comic cut in the prime of it's life. But hey, I've made my peace with it's ending.

[Skeets]

Astounding Wolf-Man
Casanova
Dynamo 5
Fell
Invincible
Madman
Next Issue Project
Proof
Walking Dead

Going to pick up the last two issues of Noble Causes and the first issue of Perhapanauts on Wednesday and check 'em out. And I really want to get into Savage Dragon.

Image is doing great right now, couldn't be happier.

I just recently started picking it up again and felt that it was not quite what it use to be... but I am going to give it some time.

[pastorfrank]

Image is currently the 3rd largest pull list that I have: DC 1st, Marvel 2nd. They have really been putting out some good stuff. Below are the current ones that I am getting with a few future titles.

Youngblood: will be dropping soon

Shark-Man: still waiting for issue two...if not coming soon will drop

Pax Romana: great, great stuff

Dynamo 5: just solidly good all around

Spawn: haven't missed an issue since it started and won't

Wolf-Man: I like this book but the schedule it keeps is frustrating...will drop if this new monthly gig isn't consistant

Mice Templar: loving it...not as good as Mouseguard...but still good

Proof: IMO, the best new book on the market - bar none!!!

Invincible: I only get this in trades and am really enjoying it...when I catch up I will begin to collect single issues....

Gemini: coming soon

Death Grub: coming soon

Red Mass For Mars:coming soon

War Heroes: coming soon

If he has the time sure, On a side note I have have every Savage Dragon issue, I'm at #103 now.

[BrikHed21]

Shark-Man: still waiting for issue two...if not coming soon will drop
I believe that issue #2 came out, actually I thought #3 had come out as well (here is a link to a review of issue #2 from February http://weeklycomicbookreview.com/2008/02/29/shark-man-2-review/



Spawn: haven't missed an issue since it started and won't
My man - nicely done, there are few of us left these days.


Wolf-Man: I like this book but the schedule it keeps is frustrating...will drop if this new monthly gig isn't consistant
This is bi-monthly until issue #8 and then monthly


Proof: IMO, the best new book on the market - bar none!!!
Can we get an AMEN for the pastor? Amen - great new book.

[Xeero]

Maybe some day I'll be up there with the Dragon. I don't even have all the Spawn issues. There's still many I've never read. :(

[jackwtweeg]

Get on that. I had the benefit of reading Spawn pretty much from the beginning. So i just amassed them all.

The only on-going series I have so far of every issue is the recent X-Factor series.

Oh wow... really? :confused:

I'm assuming its X-men? I've never been too big on the X-men

[Xeero]

I'm assuming its X-men? I've never been too big on the X-men

Yeah, it's an X-book. It started off as a detective noir book but now it's more superheroey but one of my absolute favorite books. It's currently the only Marvel book I'm reading. And it's written by the awesomeness that is Peter David. :cool:

Aww man. Then I dunno what to tell you, maybe you'd like it or not. I'd say it's my fav stuff David's written. But hey, can't please every one. :)

[BrikHed21]

I read X-Factor about 15 years ago, but the team was so bizarre back then it was almost a joke unto itself (Havok, Polaris, Maddox, and Guido are the only ones I can remember from back them).

What the heck does X-Factor have to do with "What's Your Image?" - get your butts to the Marvel forum :D now if you want to tell me how great Screamland is then go ahead and start talking.

Fair enough, Bossman Brik! :D (Oooh...that gives me an idea for a character....)

Screamland is awesomesauce combined with honey. When I was waiting for Larsen to come and start signing and sketching, the Screamland team was there finishing up. I wasn't going to buy any more stuff, I only had 6 dollars left but I took a look through their issues and decided to buy the first one. The artist even drew me a quick Joker pic even though I couldn't pay for it. When I got on the train, boy was I in bliss reading Screamland. The book is about Frankenstein who is in fact real and is an actor. He was getting jobs left and right during the old monster era but now he's an has-been and can't get a respectable job as an actor. But his agent has finally found him something but he now has to meet up with his old buddies from back in the day, such as Dracula, the Mummy, and Wolf-man. It was such a fun read and the art was lovely. I really wish I spent my last 3 dollars for the second issue. I have to track it down eventually. Maybe I'll try to interview the creators at some point, maybe when the trade is gonna come out.

[BrikHed21]

I actually thought about checking out Screamland - nice overview. I also have considered Casanova - I read the first free issue on ImageComics.com and it looked good. I keep hearing good things....

Jack, thoughts?

[Xeero]

Really nice, Brik! I love how each sig is different from the others, yet it's still the same awesome catchphrase! :cool:

BTW, don't forget to contribute to the Indy Villains Thread! :)

I picked up the first issue of Casanova and each page had me more lost. It was interesting and I did want to check out the other issues afterwards, but I was already picking up far too many books at the time and I'm a cheap mofo.

Darn it, I've got class soon. Be back later!

Yes you are right...I checked my files and I indeed do have issues 1 and 2 of Shark-Man...but no #3...it is still taking too long to get out...it's frustrating.

See that is what I'm talking about - so many great titles you can't keep track of them all.

Almost anything that comes out of Shadowline. Loved Death Dealer and will probably get the other upcoming Frazetta books. I'll probably try out Firebreather when that comes out. That list looks kinda small but I guess it's because all my other Image titles are mini-series and I didn't bother to list those.

DK! Contribute to the Villians thread!! :) :cool:

I will as soon as I'm not at work anymore. Home for lunch now, but can't post on the work computer.
