Mirka Andolfo's Mercy was a big hit for Image Comics even a) with the pandemic shutdown and b) translating a comic book that had already been published in another language But following on from Unnatural and the Ablaze translation of Un/Sacred, as well as working for DC on Bombshells, RWBY, Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman, Andolfo has[...]

Credit: Image Comics Penciller Davide Tinto's work is energetic I didn't notice any color that seemed out of place, so colorist Francesca Carotenuto did a good job. Commanders In Crisis #1 features a super-team ala the Justice League, and they team up to fight, wait for it, cosmic sepsis, which they diagnose from dead people There's a[...]

This is an attempt to sift through them all and find the most relevant items. What's FOCing today? The launch of Crossover #1 by Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw is the big one, from Image Comics, with many tiered variants up to 1:200.

After absorbing last week's news that Image Comics has become Diamond's second largest comics supplier following DC's defection to the distribution operations set up by comics retailers DCBS and Midtown, an interesting realization set in: Despite the ongoing problems created by Covid-19 and the ensuing lockdown, Image is in the midst of its best year[...]

We're hearing that retailers noticed a few more Crossover incentive cover codes pop up on the Diamond retailer site last night and we've managed to get our hands on the Tradd Moore (1:25) and Ryan Ottley (1:50) covers for anyone eager to see what else Image has up its sleeve before they're on FOC this[...]

Credit: Image Comics Big Girls #2 continues from the cliffhanger at the end of the first issue, resolving it by introducing two more Big Girls into the heat of the battle… including one, Apex, who does not have the same moral questions that plague Ember's mind To Ember and, indeed, the forces that uphold the rules of the[...]

Credit: Image Comics Going into Stillwater #1 blind is something else Obviously, the cover screams "horror" at the top of its lungs, what with the skeleton mom cradling a baby over a red background with dark roots that look like veins… but still Until Page Sixteen, this could easily be a road trip buddy comic where the[...]

It looks like Image Comics has managed to successfully capitalize DC Comics' decision to quit Diamond Comic Distributors and jockey ahead into the number two Diamond position alongside Marvel Marvel's is still king with a record Diamond marketshare, but Image remains ahead of everyone else But might future months see them build on that marketshare? Image[...]

Which is why I now have the actual Diamond August 2020 marketshare to take a peek at. Diamond Marketshare, August 2020. So that's Marvel Comics on 63%, Image Comics, IDW and Boom on over 5% – while DC Comics, when Diamond was still distributing DC backstock, at 1% The true DC figure is probably higher, as these[...]

And that the whole thing is a conspiracy., Which, to be fair, in the Spawn universe it very well may be. Artwork from Spawn #310. If your neighbours are acting normally, don't trust them, it's a sign they have been cloned? To be honest, that's not the most whackdoodle concept you've been confronted with in recent months,[...]

But with orders around 70,000 of The Scumbag #1 at Image Comics, he'll earn a lot more from this comic than that one, as it is creator-owned. Because, yes, it urns out that Ernie Ray Clementine's tooth isn't the only gold out of The Scumbag by Remender, Moreno DiNisio and Lewis LaRosa. We've just learned that Rick[...]

The Department Of Truth, the new comic from James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds is published from Image Comics this week There are plenty of variant, tiered and exclusive retailer cover to go round But it appears that there is a secret 1:10 variant cover mixed in either the standard variant cover One featuring a[...]

Deadpool was co-created by Image Comics founder Rob Liefeld So they might know a thing or two about him And it's a way for Image Comics' marketing team to tag the upcoming launch of The Scumbag, a new comic book series written by Rick Remender – who used to write Deadpool as well, in the[...]
