Image Expo ’15: Chip Zdarsky Reads Just The Tips
Jan 16th
Last Friday, shortly after the closure of Image Expo 2015 and its related retailer summit, comic creator Chip Zdarsky sat down for a signing at a San Francisco sex shop, Good Vibrations. For most comic creators this might be an odd place for a signing, but for the artist behind Sex Criminals and so many other hilarious writings, drawings, and antics this was the perfect stage for Mr. Zdarsky. Recently Chip and Sex Criminals co-creator, Matt Fraction, published an adult book based on the letters column for their comic series, entitled Just The Tips. Just The Tips, which was released in More >
Spawn Loses Brian Wood, But Who Is The New Writer?
Dec 20th
On Tuesday Image Comics released their March 2015 solicitations, which included the solicit for Spawn #251. Spawn #251 follows the return of Al Simmons in the landmark 250th issue, which was written by Todd McFarlane and is set for release on January 14th. Everything still seems to be going as planned for Spawn #250, but as of tonight there seems to be questions about its follow up in February’s Spawn Resurrection #1 and March’s Spawn #251. Why are there questions about the release of these two titles? Well, for that story we have to go back to October of this More >

Long Beach Comic Expo ’14: Wetworks 20th Anniversary Panel
May 31st
20 Years ago, nearly to the month, an amazing comic series saw birth at Wildstorm Comics. This comic series was Whilce Portacio’s Wetworks. Originally intended to premiere 2 years prior, as one of Image Comics’ company launching titles, personal family issues relating to the creator delayed the title. Yet when it erupted it was big. Up there with other great Wildstorm titles, like WildC.A.T.s and Gen13, Wetworks told the story of Colonel Jackson Dane and his team over covert operation soldiers that had been betrayed by their government while gaining super powers of sorts in the way of a golden More >
Batman And The Walking Dead Crossover
Apr 1st
Right on the heels of this weekend’s spectacular Walking Dead Season Finale, Image Comics and DC Comics announced a major company crossover, Batman and The Walking Dead! In the vein of Marvel’s Invincible/Spider-man crossover in Marvel Team-Up #14, Robert Kirkman will be writing a major crossover mini-series wherein Batman must go up against zombies in Gotham City. We first saw a hint of this with the above teaser at this weekend’s Emerald City Comic Con, but editors and creators on panel kept their lips tight (albeit smiling) about what it meant. Now we know and I don’t think fans could More >
Trees #3 - A Cover
Mar 2nd
Trees is an upcoming comic series from Image Comics, written by Warren Ellis and drawn by James Howard. We talked about it before, here, when it was first announced and shown off in Diamond’s Previews Catalog. Today Warren has shared with us the very unique and thought provoking cover for Trees #3. What this intense cover means or says about the upcoming comic is up to interpretation. What I do know is that Warren is just two or three pages from wrapping up issue #4 of Trees, and he seems rather excited about the series as he continues to post More >
Trees
Feb 26th
Trees. It is an ominous title with an equally ominous cover. This new comic from Warren Ellis and James Howard graces the back cover to today’s Previews catalog. From what we know of the comic? The simple title might just be the perfect way of describing it. Set for release this May from Image Comics, Trees is solicited as such: Ten years after they landed. All over the world. And they did nothing, standing on the surface of the Earth like trees, exerting their silent pressure on the world, as if there were no-one here and nothing under foot. Ten More >
Death Rides On The Wind - Ginny’s Song From Pretty Deadly
Dec 1st
Fans of Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios’ new image series, Pretty Deadly, already are likely familiar with a certain song that when sung “if you done been wronged” will bring Death’s daughter to your aid. It is the song of Ginny, the haunting protagonist of Pretty Deadly, and has been sung by several characters over the first two issues. But an unfortunate limit with stories done in sequential art is that we can hear music or tone when songs are sung in word bubbles and captions. Thankfully some incredible fans have put together music for Ginny’s song and uploaded More >
From Harley Quinn To Stormwatch; DC Contest Winner: Jeremy P. Roberts
Nov 20th
Up until Tuesday there was still some question as to who won DC’s Harley Quinn #0 talent contest, which DC used to find a new artist to draw a single page for this week’s Harley Quinn #0. As many of you likely remember, the contest stirred up quite a controversy, but did get a large number of very decent (and often eerily similar) submissions. The winner ended up being a man by the name of Jeremy Roberts, which is a name some might have seen before in the comic book industry. It wasn’t until today however that we were able More >
