The cover to Satellite Sam #14 by Howard Chaykin…  And a photo of undetermined origin… In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself?

Wayward is the comic by Jim Zub and X Cummings published by Image Comics, telling a fresh supernatural story set in and around Japanese culture and pop culture from a semi-outsider perspective It's the Buffy Anime basically.

From Image Comics, Goners #5, written by Jacob Semahn, with art by Jorge Corona, is an extremely dense issue Right off the bat, I would recommend going into it with the knowledge that you should read it twice; once for pure pleasure and excitement, and twice to go back and absorb all of the details[...]

Bleeding Cool has reported on retailers upset that the Image Comics FCBD title this year is Savage Dragon, ahead of the spinoff launch of Savage Dragon: Legacy. They are still complaining and, odds are, will be complaining at the ComicsPRO meeting as well.

For many, this little bundle of comic books can justify, purely on monetary terms, the cost of travelling to Portland for the ComicsPRO retailer meet.

I was super excited to read this months issue of Bitch Planet, from Image Comics, written by Kelly Sue DeConnick, with art by guest artist Robert Wilson IV, not just because this comic has impressed me from moment of its release, but also because it focuses completely on main character, Penny Rolle She has been[...]

Greetings from the coal face of the direct comics market. Where retailers try to increase their orders of certain comics ahead of sale. Where supply and

As well as DC's promotion of the title in recent weeks, suggesting that readers "commit to Suicide"… that's one easy way to a) get a media storm and b) reduce your reader base. Empty #1, the new Image comic from Jimmie Robinson gives us a fantasy parallel of xenophobia and racism, fear, superstition and just plain[...]

The cover image alone feels like it could get all manner of folks excited, and is a perfect summation of the genres being mashed up here.
