Her social media, strong Her variety show segments, a hit In NO 1 WITH A BULLET, Nash Huang is at the top of her game[...]

In The Wicked + The Divine #29, we see things really start to fall about. The shit hit the fan, and now the characters have to deal with the mess.

Not just the incredibly graphic cover to the comic's fourth issue, revealed recently as part of Image Comics' September solicits, and the intense backlash and upset that it caused, but also at the start of Pride Month in June when the first issue contained a graphic, sexualised depiction of trans panic violence and the again[...]

The image below uses a LOT of censor marks and shows that it's really going to be a hardcore cover Perhaps Larsen is trying to tap into that Sex Criminals fanbase. "Sometimes I do things just because it amuses me Image has done a few NSFW covers of late, and while they certainly qualify as NSFW,[...]

The book has divided even Chaykin's fellow Image Comics creators, with some speaking out to denounce the cover, and at least one speaking in its defense. Of note, unlike some other controversial covers that have made news in the past few years, the cover to Divided States of Hysteria is not a variant cover, requiring special[...]

Image Comics has yet to comment on the controversy ignited today over the cover to issue #4 of Howard Chaykin's The Divided States Of Hysteria The graphic cover (view here on Image's website), which shows a brown-skinned man with his genitals mutilated and a racial slur on his shirt hanging by a noose, has been[...]

We also begin our biannual visits to smaller direct market publishers, with stops at Image, Dark Horse, and IDW. DC COMICS DC's overall percentage of female creators declined yet again, marking the sixth straight month of losses for the publisher In April 2017, DC put out 75 new comic books with 692 credited creators, 593 men and[...]

Aren't you glad you didn't bother collecting all those Image Plus magazines just to get Negan's origin story? Oh, you did buy them? Well, time to double dip, suckers! Image has just announced that The Walking Dead: Here's Negan, the story by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard that was serialized in Image's monthly previews and stuff[...]

Review of Sina Grace's latest autobio graphic memoir, Nothing Lasts Forever, from Image Comics. A book filled with humour, pain, and dramatic realisation

In a tweet and press release entitled "CHAYKIN'S THE DIVIDED STATES OF HYSTERIA SPARKS INDUSTRY CONVERSATION", Image Comics responded to the controversy raised last week surrounding Howard Chaykin's The Divided States of Hysteria. The use of "conversation" seems a little trite in this instance — while the comic certainly got people talking, it was pretty much all about the[...]

We've discussed, seemingly at length, about the controversy surrounding Howard Chaykin's latest work, the Image Comics release The Divided States of Hysteria; its inclusion of graphic trans panic violence, released on the first week of Pride Month and even with the option of a Pride Month variant cover, and Image Comics lack of response or[...]

The Divided States Of Hysteria #1 by Howard Chaykin seems to have received the benefits of publicity, however negative, selling out from publisher Image Comics, from distributor Diamond Comic Distributors and a fair few comic book stores as well Enough for Image Comics to decide that there is unmet demand and taking the comic to[...]

Early in the week, in fact pretty much kicking it off, came news that Drawn & Quarterly had cancelled a book, Sadbøi, by artist Berliac due to a historic transphobic essay and comments that were brought to light. Now, on new comic day of the first full week of Pride Month, Image Comics released Howard Chaykin's[...]

 In THE DIVIDED STATES OF HYSTERIA, a deeply troubled America is barely beginning to recover from a profound national trauma, only to be further destabilized by a worst-case terrorist attack." When Bleeding Cool requested comment from Image on this matter, we were given this essay by Chaykin in response: "The history of the world, my sweet, is[...]

Or, at least, of saying things. That is certainly an impressive magic trick for anyone of any gender to accomplish. But rules out a Superman crossover with Lois Lane right now, I guess. You know that moment when you've lost the crowd? But how far has he lost them? Walking Dead #168 by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard is out now,[...]

As we previously reported, Image Comics will be releasing eleven variant covers in June, celebrating the LGBTQ community and the progress made by the Gay Liberation Movement in promoting inclusivity and support for all, with 100% of the proceeds from the June Pride variant covers donated to Human Rights Campaign We were treated to six variant[...]

The disappearance of American aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart is one of modern history's greatest mysteries, and has resulted in a lot of theories about what could have happened to Earhart when she failed to reach Howland Island in the Pacific on July 2, 1937, but none of them are quite like what creators Jay Faerber and Sumeyye[...]

Half expecting yet another Image dystopia (I repeat, I'd seen nothing of this) I was surprised (and not necessarily happy) to see a fantasy book land in my face. To recap events so far; a world has been introduced where big cat (think lion/tiger/panther) gods are accompanied by an awesome human warrior This god-style assistance in[...]

Poor Kaare Andrews. No matter how many strange and weird plot twists you bring to your amazing comic book Renato Jones, with its second series launching

Image Comics is announcing a sequel Bulletproof Coffin: The 1000 Yard Stare one-shot by David Hine and Shaky Kane, for June. And it's all rather meta. When indie publisher Image Nation hires Shaky Kane to write and draw his own comic book, the artist finally finds himself free from the tedium of visualizing the geriatric ramblings of washed-up[...]

At Emerald City Comic Con, McFarlane had some choice words for "slow" artists: "Nobody draws slow, you're either at the table drawing or you're not." –Todd McFarlane #ECCC #ECCC2017 — Image Comics (@ImageComics) March 3, 2017 Ouch!
