Fancy a cruise? Image Comics has sent round the following survey to comic book readers, with plans for the next year already. Big plans. Well, they have a couple of San Diego Comic-Cons to make up for. And why not do it all in one place? At sea? They are calling it the Image + Skybound Immersive Comic Convention.

You are also asked to say what creators or celebrity guests would you like to see on your vacation… feel free to add me if you want. Hey, I wrote a couple of Image Comics titles in my time. Skybound is the studio that publishes comic books through Image Comics but makes TV shows like The Walking Dead. So obviously Robert Kirkman would be there.
