Image Comics General Discussion

Mind me asking a question? Out of all the 90s over-muscled, pouch-laden, antiheroes, were there any who had the power to make their pouches into Bags of Holding? I have never seen one, and with how wide spread the pouch look got, is surprising that they didn't think "This one's is different because he has the ability to shove his obligatory BFG into those pouches that everyone has but look like they could store at most a mag of ammo."

Then again, didn't Liefeld throw a fit later on, saying he rescued Moore's career?

Anyway, I've been checking out some Pre-Moore Supreme appearances and came across this description:

"Shadowhawk is transported home to New York where he finds himself right in the thick of a battle between Supreme and the Fantastical Four; He begs Supreme for a few drops of blood to cure him of AIDS but Supreme has no time for him and blasts him instead"

90s Image Comics everyone!

Anyone remember Drain? The vampire comic by C. B. Cebulski about a bisexual ninja vampire named Chinatsu who goes on a 400 year old quest to kill the vampire who turned her and killed her family?

I remember reading the author wanted to do the sequel that explores Chinatsu's past as a vampire but there hasn't been any news about the sequel for a long time.

I have never heard of this book before. Is it any good? Is the art at least good?

Anyone here read Flavor?

The art is good since it was drawn by Sana Takeda, the artist of Monstress, who also did some work for Marvel like X-23 and the Danvers version of Miss Marvel before becoming the new Captain Marvel. Plus there were some erotic moments especially the lesbian sex scene between Chinatsu and her former lover Freya in the 2nd chapter.

The story was ok and had potential since the MC's past was interesting but I think it got rush in the last 3 chapters to give it an ending with a hint of a sequel.

Is anyone else following the current comics of Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl?

I've just finished Volume 3 of Saga (thanks, library!), and I am HOOKED.

I've thought about loaning them to a friend with the disclaimer "The main characters aren't white, or superheroes. If that's not your thing, remember: I warned you."

so hows everyone feeling about black science issue 43? i was surprised and at the same time accepting of the finale the whole dual reality scenario was pretty clever, and it really does enforce the theme that most of grants problems are ultimately his own damn fault,as even when a version of him wants to change, he's literally his own worst enemy. killing off the kids was pretty messed up tho... and if anyones still confused about the ending go reread issue 5 and see facepalm yourself like i did.

So this month a new Hickman comic, Decorum dropped.

Unless you dislike Hickman's specific style, I recommend you pick it up. First issue is jumbo sized (I think they're all going to be), and very good. To be brief, its about a young delivery girl and the universe's most well mannered assassin (imagine if Tilda Swinton played a sci-fi John Wick)...which now that I say it, almost reminds of Crowded in a way.

Another good Image title.

A lot of worldbuilding though, which I love. Like, the first half is almost purely worldbuilding. But it's awesome.

That's why I did want to warn people who are not fan's of Hickman's signature style.

Like, I love the guy's work. But I think if you stopped him from putting made-up symbols in a work, he would actually, physically die. And not in a normal way, like something out of Black Monday Murders.

At one point there's a diagram that takes up an entire PAGE, as though scientific, of a bowl of ramen. Now, I love ramen, so I didn't mind that at all. But I have to imagine some people would.

I love the ramen page.

If you're not reading Die, you should definitely read it.

The newest issue features a cameo by Herbert George Wells and he's an absolute badass, which fits with the setting and themes.

So I just found the series Wild Guard.

I like it. You'd expect a comic about a Super Hero Reality TV show to be either too dark, or too much of a parody, with the members caring more about being stars than being heroes....but they're both. It's still a superhero series, despite being reality show (and I hate reality shows).

I rather like it. It's like someone said, these guys are still heroes right? rather than of course they're just assholes concerned with fame! What else would they be?

Edit: Also, Shrubling is adorable, and it's a shame she didn't make the team.

Greg Rucka returns to Image Comics with space opera Forged

I feel extremely fortunate to take an interest in this thread and find out about a space opera co-written by Greg Rucka. I'm looking forward to it.

Just a heads up -

moderation policy thread

spoiler rules

These are pretty much what you'd expect - don't post unmarked spoilers for very recent releases, don't post unmarked spoilers for off-topic stuff (people may not expect film spoilers on a Marvel Comics thread etc.) and identify the source of your tagged spoilers.

(I think we're all following them anyway?)

A comic-specific summary of these rules has just been posted in a new Comics "Spoiler Policy" thread here.

I just made a page for The Forged, if anyone is interested in contributing.

Hey I have been enjoy most image titles like Spawn,Savage Dragon,Invincible,Killadelphia,Massive verse,and I hate Fairyland.

Spawn also has a lot of spin-off titles compared to other image series. Recently Spawn had three ongoing spin-off series called King Spawn(The spawn universe equivalent of detective comics),Gunslinger Spawn, and the first team book Scorched. 12 more Spawn spin-offs are likely in the works.

Also finished reading Vanish, sad it ended prematurely.

Robert Kirkman ‘Invincible’ Ownership Lawsuit Settles Just Ahead of Trial

Has anyone read the ghost machine one shot that showcased different parts of the imprint? I think I like the family imprint the most and hyde street seems interesting, and I already liked giegar but I am not too sure about rook exodus it didn't wow me too much.

Oh, I love that comic.

One of the best vampire comics ever.

Though I'm not sure if she's a bisexual vampire or a Lesbian Vampire. We only meet her female lover and her sire didn't have any romantic relationship with her.
