This is the one I always think about. I was so hyped after reading the first 6 issues and then NOTHING for years. I didn’t even know it came back and then died again until today lol Not going to read it either because I’ll just be bummed out again 🤬

Shout out to Lord Retail and Acme Comics in Greensboro!

They satisfy my Kieron Gillen fix.

Do A Powerbomb! has got to be one of the top 10 comics I've ever read, easily. Probably top 5. And I've never even watched pro wrestling. The pages come alive. The art leaps out at me. The onomatopoeia... the best I've ever seen by far. I teared up a couple times.

Murder Falcon was beautiful too. What an epic.

Daniel Warren Johnson deserves every accolade imaginable. Please, I beg you, give this man your money. If he hasn't earned it, no one has. Seems like a genuinely sweet guy, too.

( Do a power bomb volume 1 )

After finishing Invincible season 1 back in 2021 i spiraled into a comic frenzy and heres what ive gotten! My top 5 are easily in no particular order: Invincible, Saga, Criminal, Nailbiter, and The Walking Dead

NO ONE TOLD ME HOW HARD THIS COMIC WAS DEAR LORD I NEED THOSE NEXT TWO VOLUMES SINCE YESTERDAY

Luther Strode is officially one of my all-time favorite comic books EVER now, period.

Iman Vellani, known for playing Kamala Khan in “Ms. Marvel,” will make her solo comics writing debut with “Chachu,” a five-issue neo-noir miniseries illustrated by Marianna Ignazzi and colored by Jordie Bellaire, set for release from Image Comics and Tiny Onion on Aug. 5.

Set in 1979, the series follows Leila, a 19-year-old Pakistani-Canadian young woman with a love of film and pulp novels who travels to California to reconnect with her estranged uncle – a semi-retired private eye once celebrated for having married the starlet he was originally hired to find. When that same wife vanishes again, uncle and niece find themselves on an unplanned road-trip investigation, one that pushes Leila’s first taste of adulthood into a reckoning with family secrets and the myths both have built around their lives.

“I’ve always been deeply curious about comics as an art form because of their capacity to hold contradiction – arguably better than any other medium,” Vellani said. “That became especially meaningful to me while writing Chachu, which grew out of this tension between mourning my youth while I still have it, and an incessant urge to come of age already.” Popular on Variety

Ignazzi, whose prior credits include “Exquisite Corpses,” illustrated the series alongside colorist Bellaire, whose recent work includes “Absolute Wonder Woman.”

“From the very first reading of Iman’s script, I could already picture this 70s world revealing itself through reflections in sunglasses and rearview mirrors, slowly emerging through cigarette smoke and neon lights,” Ignazzi said.

"I tried to capture Leila and Chachu’s journey through strong blacks and a graphic style that could still feel emotional and deeply narrative. Seeing my pages come to life through Jordie’s colors has been wonderful – she brought an incredible atmosphere, warmth, and cinematic depth to every scene.”

“It’s been an immense privilege to build my first original series alongside such an accomplished roster of collaborators, all of whom challenged and supported me in ways that made this book far better than anything I could’ve imagined on my own or in therapy,” Vellani added.

“Chachu” is being co-published with Tiny Onion, the independent production house founded by James Tynion IV, co-creator of “Something is Killing the Children” and “The Department of Truth,” which has been expanding beyond comics into film, animation, and video game development.

The first issue goes on sale at comic book shops on Aug. 5 with five cover variants, including incentive editions by Matías Bergara, Jacob Phillips, and Christian Ward. It will also be available digitally through Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

Kieron Gillen mentions having trouble selling Power Fantasy in comic stores and then was after he did his famous Krakoa X-Men run and more famous Once and Future, Die, and Wicked and Divine.

Why is it that creators who made great hits no longer sell comics

Like the title says, another fat boy has arrived!!!

Surprisingly to me, EoW is not as thick as D+W. Thought EoW was thicker actually. Bad Memory? Mixing up page counts? Probably a combo of both lol

EoW page count: 1320

W+D: 1448

W+D must have the 6 specials included, which I was unaware of till now… yay! haha

The last 2 pics are comparison shots of a DoT deluxe hardcover, D+W, and EoW. DoT is taller and wider (cover side) than the others. EoW and D+W are the same height, but EoW is slightly wider (cover) than D+W. All my other Image compendiums are the same height and depth (cover side) as D+W 🤷🏻‍♂️ friggin Hickman lol

Trailer here too!

CHICKS. WITH CHAINSAWS. IN SPACE. CHAINKATA COMES TO YOUR LOCAL COMIC SHOP NOVEMBER 2026 WITH @ImageComics (thanks to Mike Spicer for the colors on this cover!)

used compendiums might be the best bang for buck in comic books, just finished saga, understand the hype now 🙏🏼

I’ve already read the other three books except for Geiger Deluxe Edition Vol. 2, and I was honestly surprised by how much better they were than I expected. Rook: Exodus and Junkyard Joe in particular were absolutely fantastic.

FYI) The last bookshelf photo is a picture of all the books by Geoff Johns that I own.

I got my first sketch commission this weekend at Baltimore Comic-Con, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

I chose a blank cover for the #1 issue of If Destruction Be Our Lot…, which has quickly become my favorite ongoing title from Image right now. I was able to connect with Andy MacDonald through Comic Art House, and since Andy is the artist for the series, I knew this was going to be something special.

MAN OH MAN… all of my expectations were exceeded.

I already knew it was going to be great because the artwork in this book is incredible, but I was blown away by how much detail and creativity Andy put into this individual piece.

And then Andy surprised me when he said, “There’s more on the back…”

I turned it over and realized… HE DID A WRAPAROUND! 🤯

I was honestly speechless.

If you ever get the chance to meet Andy, he’s also an incredibly down-to-earth person. He was so nice, courteous, and friendly throughout the whole experience.

I can’t thank him enough for creating such an incredible piece and making my first commission experience so memorable. 🙌

Bueno, honestamente a mí me llama mucho la atención al igual que los otros títulos de Ghost machine si soy honesto y realmente me gustaría hablar de este nuevo universo de cómics de image

I picked up issue #1 on a pure whim. (I like to add random things when collecting pull list)

And it has been a while since artwork blew me away like this!

(maybe echolands, skinbreaker, low, swamp thing)

I can't seem to understand why this is slipping under the radar.

I know image and DC are absolutly KILLING IT at the moment but this is next level stuff!

What's everyone else's reviews?

The dream team behind descender and ascender are back with crowbound a supernatural scifi tale about a mother and the lengths she will go for her child.

It was a big break out hit of the early 2010s Image and had fifty issues before it was suddenly not continued.

It had a kind of unique premise of drama with young adult

They seem to act like manga start with volume one is unique when it’s true of most western comics.

“Has a singular creative vision” that’s true of most indie books. Who typically have a single creative team of writer, line artist, colorist, and letterer,

Want to read The Walking Dead. You start at volume one.

“Diverse genres” while the DM doesn’t have much room for non-genre fiction. The scholastic release many slice of life books for kids.

It seems like they never heard of any comic that isn’t mainstream marvel/DC. Even DC published Vertigo.

Non-superhero comics that received adaptions, Outcast, the Beauty, resident Alien, Paper Girls, Y, the Last Man, heck the freaking walking dead. All received adaptions.

Most of them know nothing of manga hence thinking “Shonen” means battle series about an excitable young protagonist, a power system, and battles.

With Seinen meaning “dark and mature series” when it means targeted to eighteen year old and up.

I really hope u like it!!
