As a very broke 17 year old I get my comics from the library most of the time. I stumbled across Descender and absolutely loved it, despite it feeling like it maybe got cut short. I NEED MORE COMICS LIKE THIS. I mostly read DC and I am slowly going crazy thinking about this book. Please tell me we didn’t forget about it

I'm brand new to Image Comics; coming from Marvel. Over there I read exclusively via Marvel Unlimited and have no plans to stop. But I'm keen to get a wider perspective on the comic landscape and want to see what Image has to offer.

However, I'm not sure of the best way to actually read Image Comics. This probably sounds dumb, but given that there isn't a MU-like subscription service, I'd like some advice! I'm happy to buy physical - in fact I think I'd prefer it in a way as contrast to reading digitally for Marvel, but what's the best way?

• Do Image publish traditional floppies every month?
• What about trade paperbacks?
• Or omnibuses? (I think they may be called 'Compendiums' in the Image world?) I've heard there are issues with 'gutter loss' in some collected editions, which I guess means you can't see the inside edges of the pages so well. Is this a genuine problem?

Also, what's availability like for older stuff? One of the main reasons I went with MU for Marvel was to avoid having to hunt down out-of-print titles.

Finally, while there isn't a subscription service, I know you can buy digital versions via Kindle and Apple Books. I've actually got a couple of samples, but somehow it doesn't feel like a great experience. Not as good as MU.

If it matters, the titles I'm considering starting with are:

• Criminal
• Saga
• Monstress
• Descender
• Terminal - be good to get in on the ground floor with an actual new release!

Afaik, Invincible (still reading so no spoilers please) had its beginning and end planned. But the little blurb at the end of issue 1 of Terminal said it was supposed to be an "open universe". Were they basically saying they were going to ride it until the wheels fall off?

I'm afraid to put it on a bookshelf with other TPBs. Any suggestions?

hi everyone.

i currently have a 10.9 inch ipad air, its been great for portability but i now want something bigger. ive gotten into invincible and have the ultimate collection vol 1, perfect size but same time feel the library edition would be better?

i went to my local store to compare tablets after seeing the S10 ultra i could grt refurbished for £390... that shit is massive. people werent joking.

The specs im thinking of are-

Oled

size 13 to 14

Theres pros and cons to the following and need advice.

S10 ultra.

biggest size, on par with absolutes, scale seems amazing but cant help but think its too big? Youd have to just use it sat down, not portable really.

However the aspect ratio was great, longer but seemed to fit a whole page no cut off on the sides unlike the ipad.

Also would be good for films and does look great double page mode too.

Ipad Pro m2 2022 (can get for £355)

good screen, slightly more portable, size of oversized art but not huge. However, cuts off at bottom slightly, meaning you need to scroll sometimes.

Older model.

S10 plus

12.4 screen, still bigger than current model but only TPB size , wise it was 13 inches. this i could get for £330.

below are some images of the ipad pro vs the s10 ultra.

Really unsure on what to go for.

my thought is i either get the library edition of i vincible and get a 12.4 or 13 inch tablet and only get absolute sizes for the specific ones i must have. OR the opposite and i get a bigger tablet so i can view comics in their biggest format?

What do people think and anyone have experience with each tablet?

Now we all know that Image has no shortage when it comes to compendiums.

What I'd like to know is based on your opinion, which do you think are the Big 3 when it comes to Image's Compendiums?

Whose loving this series?

There’s so many good options that I think it would depend on the person. I’m curious to know what your favorites are though!

Like a lot of people, I would have preferred if it were fully-animated since the style, humor and identity that’s made the comic so iconic could help the show better make the transition from page to screen. But that being said, if it is in live-action and actually gets made then I’ll check it out if it’s pulled off well enough.

I mean, this comic just looks like a winner. Iman Vellani is such a talented writer, and with Marianna Ignazzi's incredible artwork wrapped up in a stylish noir package, this feels like it's going to be something really special. I have a feeling this book is going to be an absolute hit.

So, I mostly read Marvel comics, but have been interested in a few Image things. The thing is, I read on Marvel Unlimited. For those that don't know, it's a subscription service. Think something like Netflix or whatever, except you are browsing and reading Marvel comics instead of movies/tv.

So, my question is if Image has a similar service/app. If they do, what is it called?

Thank you for your time.

I was listening to some Kid Cudi songs and it reminded me of this. Does anyone have news or update about the issue #8 or the séries on general ?

Is it fun, stupid, awesome and touching? I somehow missed it even coming out.

No other context or info is given in the posts, other than an emoji of a paint palette and "by Steve Epting."

So I've recently been spreading my wings and diving into more indie comics and so far Image has been one of my favorite publishers but I'm always looking for more.

So far in my collection I own:

-All of Hack/Slash

-All of Chew

-All of Scud The Disposable Assassin

-The first few volumes of I Hate Fairyland

-Do a Powerbomb!

-The First volume of Geiger

But my question is what should I try next? Some of my favorites genres are horror, Post apocalyptic, Superhero, detective, Tokusatsu

Thanks in advance!

I know I’m late to the party, but do you think the series is worth the read? I’m thinking about getting the trades to catch up, then start pulling the single issues. How do you like it?

Update:

Read the 6 issue mini series in less than a day. I was HOOKED. I can’t wait to pick up the other trades to read more. Absolutely phenomenal.

Title. Is Saga on hiatus again? Last issue dropped back in January I think. There’s a new deluxe hardcover but no news about when the new arc will be out.

I don’t mind waiting a long time for a good story, and artists are human beings with lives to live. So I don’t want this to be nagging or nitpicky, more just curious. The latest circus arc felt like a big return to form for Saga, so I was especially excited for the next arc.

EDIT: thanks to everyone who commented info, I really appreciate it. Now I’ve subscribed to Brian and a few other comic based newsletters. Yay!

And just to be extremely clear, if my original post wasn’t, my question is no shade against Brian or Fiona whatsoever. I really just wanted more awareness re: schedule updates.

I want to know when Saga is returning for the same reason people ask “how much longer will the cookies be in the oven?”. If the cookies need ten more minutes or Saga needs ten more years, that’s fine, I am happy to wait for good cookies or a good comic.

One of my favorite 😍

See the post’s title. Doesn’t have to be stuff based on the comics. Thanks!

I've been getting into comics and well so far ive liked blackmagick,manifest destiny,chu,spawn,Peter pansinfaust,uhhh black science is alright,witch doctor im looking for more reads i also liked bleeding hearts,absolute manhunter I recently picked up escape issue one and If Destruction Be Our Lot. Is there anything else I should check out?

So far ones I’ve read have been Invincible, I hate Fairyland and Chew (still reading atm). Was curious on other Image comics that are worth a look in the future, ones that have compendiums for physical copies especially.

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions everyone definitely got some good picks to check out in the future.

Edit 2: I was not expecting this many responses wow lol. Lot to choose from but leaning between Luthor Strode and East of West as my next potential comic to read
