In a future that's far too close, a megaorganism infection affects some children, making them grow hundreds of feet tall. The boys are becoming seemingly mindless, mutated monsters that barely resemble humanoids called "Jacks." The women, who grow tall but look (proportionately) normal, protect the remains of human society from the monstrous boys in a […]
The final issue of Sex Criminals is out next month. Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky, who debuted the series seven years ago (wow, just looked that up, time flies, we're all getting so old, so very old), will skip ahead thirty-nine issues to end the series on the perfect number… 69, of course. Before Sex Criminals takes its final […]

Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino's hit series Gideon Falls is coming to an end in December – in comic books at least. There's still the TV show being made. But the final issue will end with an over-sized bang, four times the size of a normal length comic book for only twice the price. Gideon […]

Every week your Local Comic Book Shop, hopefully, gets in a weekly assortment of comics, trades, posters, action figures, and other goodies from Diamond. Now some of these goodies sell out fast from your LCBS, so Tuesday and Wednesday LCBS retailers get on the phone (more often the computer) and let Diamond know they need more. […]

I'm hearing from several retailers now that they're noticing another surprise on their invoices last week and that Image is serving up a special Thank You foil variant to retailers for the strong support of Ice Cream Man: Quarantine Comix one-shot (which benefited the BINC Foundation, so this was a win-win situation for retailers. Now […]
Jared Muralt's work has been published widely in French, German and beyond. But this Swiss comic book creator hasn't bothered the English-speaking market much. That may change next year as Image Comics is to publish a translated version of his comic book series The Fall (known as La Chute in French). The first volume will […]
Reaver #11's storyline concludes with a bloody punctuation mark covering a string of child abductions in the medieval seaside city of Haas Haaden. The city's most infamous son, Essen Breaker, is a legend on the battlefield — standing head and shoulder over most men with a physique and ferocity that would make an NFL player blanche […]
Inkblot is a brand new fantasy series from Image Comics created by Emma Kubert and Rusty Gladd that stars a librarian in a fantasy world and a mischievous black cat. Gladd, in the backmatter, breaks down their collaboration, saying, "The art comes first. [Emma's] pencils, my inks, her colors, and finally, my words. It's a seldom-used process these […]
We mentioned that The Department Of Truth #1 had topped 100,000 orders at FOC last weekend. It seems it was not alone from Image Comics, as their second title ever has also reached a similar number – Spawn #310 by Todd McFarlane and Jim Muniz has also hit 100,000 – and more – orders. A […]
Monday was the Final Order Cut-Off date date for the launch of The Department Of Truth #1 from James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds, published by Image Comics. Bleeding Cool gets the word that those final orders are the highest that Image Comics has had for a launch comic book in some time, beating out […]
Scott Snyder and Tony S Daniel's Kickstarter campaign for the Nocterra Collector's Deluxe Edition is offering a new backer's incentive to be drawn into an issue in the first series arc, with a speaking role and a tragic and horrific on-page death. I can recommend the experience myself personally after being through the same thing […]
Image Comics and Skybound haven't stopped at the six connecting Charlie Adlard variant covers for the colourised The Walking Dead Deluxe #1 first arc it seems… with this three day weekend (for Americans at least) now behind us, we have three more covers unearthed, one from Art Adams, one from Julian Tedesco, and a sketch […]
Today is the FOC date for what may be Image Comics' biggest or second-biggest launch of the year – depending how Crossover does. The Department Of Truth #1 by James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds. In his Empire Of The Tiny Onion newsletter he talks about a lot of covers. Other thirty, apparently, courtesy of […]
This debut roundup is supposed to be one part gift guide, one part suggestion box. Or, an answer to the question of "what's new that you've enjoyed this year?" Pulp's not on here because the standard Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips set is so consistently high that meeting it doesn't feel like best or novel, […]
