Image Comics poll week 8 - The Old Guard, Sun Bakery & The Belfry are here!
Welcome to the weekly Image chat thread, vote for your favourite!
So this week is pretty packed again, just like last week when [B]Kill Or Be Killed[/B] #6 raked in the most votes in the poll, making it the first series that has won twice this year.
Let's hop straight into it: The Beauty returns with a new jump-on point for new readers and launchings its third storyline, Outcast also begins a new storyline for its 25th issue, Curse Words reprints its first issue alongside the new one just like The Few does, meanwhile The Fix and Surgeon X ends their current storylines, Mayday reaches its penultimate issue... And we get the long-gestating finale to horror mainstay Revival! Running for almost 5 years and nearly 50 issues is a rarity in today's comics market, let's hope Seeley & Norton have arranged a proper burial.
If that wasn't enough though we get no less than 3 new comics too!
First up: [B]The Old Guard[/B], by writer Greg Rucka (of Lazarus, Black Magick and I think Wonder Woman currently) and artist Leandro Fernandez (the Discipline and Punisher Max). This one is about a bunch of soldiers who are pretty much immortal - not an easy secret to keep surely... Rucka's third major ongoing at Image too, I think? This one's surely the biggest release of the week.
Secondly we get [B]Sun Bakery[/B], a one-man-show anthology by Corey Lewis that was previously published elsewhere (Oni Press?) and sold out entirely. Now the series is at Image, bringing a new monthly anthology. Looks like this one might be something for the fans of Shonen Jump. One of the stories is about a barista functioning as Guardian of the Wifi Password.
Lastly this week also sees the release of [B]The Belfry[/B], a one-shot horror story entirely done by Gabriel Hardman (artist on the gorgeous Invisible Republic). It's about an airplane that goes down in a dense jungle and somehow all its passengers are fine, were it not for the fact they now need to survive the Belfry. Ominous cover on this one too.
