Article Summary

Local Man comics leap from issue 12 to 25 in an "Images Of Tomorrow" event.
Image Comics' tradition from the '90s of future-issue previews continues.
Creators Tony Fleecs, Tim Seeley, and Marat Mychaels take nostalgia forward.
Local Man #25 teases epic superhero clashes and a corporate beach volleyball game.

In 1994 and (because they were late) in 1995, certain Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee titles from Image Comics jumped forward in time to what was meant to be the 25th issue of their respective issues. Bloodstrike #25, Brigade #25, Stormwatch #25 and Supreme #25. Bloodstrike and Brigade were cancelled before the main series could get to #24, Supreme's story was reinterpreted as an imaginary story being read by people at the end of #24, but Stormwatch's version actually worked as intended as all the events teased came to fruition in the main series.

For 2017 and the publisher's 25th anniversary, they also ran a number of variant covers looking at potential futures for a number of their other series as well. Some of which played, out, some did not. And the Skybound X anthology also ran a #25 issue to launch a number of Skybound properties as well, with Battle Beast, Scurry, Kroma and Dark Ride.

Well, it looks like neostalgia (my word) comic Local Man from Tony Fleecs, Tim Seeley, and Marat Mychaels is heading in that direction. And doing their own issue 25 rather than an issue 14, so that a one-year jump to the future
