Did you not read issues 7-10? Loved Amy Reeder's art.

u/Alldamage Jun 21 '26
Oh man. I thought they released 1-5, had a hiatus, then released issue 6 to close out the arc. Didn’t know they did 7-10. Now I got something to hunt for at cons this summer. Thanks man!

Prophet by Brandon Graham is so underrated. Weird sci-fi that goes completely off the rails in the best way.

Idk a lot of the discourse I see online about the character is from a negative stance rating the series/character lower then it deserves

The art is amazing and the stories are incredible.

"Mercy" by Mirka Andolfo
And Idk if "Feral" and "Stray Dogs" by Tony Fleeces and Trish Forstner count?
Oh also idk if "Ghost Pepper" would count I assume it doesn't since I think it's popular

u/JuvenJapal Jun 21 '26
We're due for another Mirka Andolfo-drawn Image series.

u/Stylish616_ Jun 21 '26
Dude I thought "Merciless" was supposed to come out a year later but I guess it never did it bums me out bro I loved "Mercy" It's the first Image book I've read and that's when my love for Image began!

Alana and The Will from Saga

u/bigheadstrikesagain Jun 21 '26
The Will is such a good character.

u/ThatFinalDOMiNO Jun 21 '26
His arc from issue 1-54 is incredible. I’ve only just started catching up with the rest that’s out right now

Everything Emma Rios has done at Image is incredible and criminally under-read. I also have a soft spot for Comeback for being my first Image book

Just recently read the entire collection of Luther Strode, and I really enjoyed the first two volumes. Three fell off for me a bit but I still enjoyed the ending. Also currently reading Rock Candy Mountain and it rips.

Run Love Kill is the comic that comes to mind.
It didn't get a chance to really take off but man what a vibe.

I would've said East of West but it's rightfully gained huge traction lately
