2019 Image Comics poll week 29 - a bunch of endings
Whew, had to take a 2-week breather there following the events of [B]The Walking Dead[/B] #193. ;)
Here's this week's notable issues: Assassin Nation and Little Bird are both ending at their scheduled 5th issues. I think Little Bird has the best shot out of those 2 to return in some form, should the creators want to, or at least remain a somewhat relevant title. Seems like it garnered a lot of praise over the months.
In near-endings, we find Evolution releasing its penultimate issue this week, as does The Warning - both will conclude next month. Black Science is nearing a similar end goal, but we have 2 months of that left to go.
Then we also have some storylines running out, with Infinite Dark and Port of Earth both taking some time out, I expect they'll both be back in about 3 months.
Whew, who said comics never end and always regurgitate themselves!

[EDIT: Seems like Infinite Dark is ending entirely, not just its current storyline - see post below this one.]

2019 Image Comics poll week 32 - aren't we all Coffin Bound
On that cheery title, hey, sorry for not updating this thread in a while. Anyway, the latest [B]Gideon Falls[/B] win has been added to the spreadsheet, so we can focus on this week's releases!
It's a pretty packed week actually: DIE spins up a new storyline. Or I guess you could call it a new dungeon quest? Section Zero reaches the penultimate chapter, and the recent Witchblade reboot will be ending 3 issues from now. I also wonder what's up with Outcast. Don't see any further issues solicited at the minute, are they going on break or is this the series end?
Furthermore, Image is reprinting a bunch of series' first issues at introductory prices of 1$ each. This means you can try COPRA, Criminal, Gideon Falls, Ice Cream Man, Isola, Oblivion Song, Trees and Unnatural at bargain prices. Finding that inclusion of Trees particularly salient; the series has been gone for a while already, hasn't it?
New this week is [B]Coffin Bound[/B]. Written by the guy who did Limbo and drawn by DANI from 2000AD, this is a story about guns, cars, and the violent life of a lady determined to let nobody stand in her way.

2019 Image Comics poll week 35 - Very small Summer week
Hey y'all, finally had time again this week, apologies. [B]DIE[/B] #6 won the previous poll, but that's a while ago already.
This week is the smallest week in quite a while this time, with essentially just 3 releases (plus one reprint).
Ascender wraps up its first storyline. They don't take a break for the next one though, it's full steam ahead! Black Science's penultimate issue also ships this week.
Lastly, Coffin Bound is seeing a reprint of the first issue from last month.

EDIT: Post & poll edited to correct a mistake about Black Science #42, which I had previously marked as the series' final issue. Thanks Joker!

2019 Image Comics poll week 36 - Battlepug! Pretty Deadly! Spawn 300!
Well there's a first time for everything, and last week's 3-release poll resulted in... zero votes! Nobody wins!
This week's better though, here's the notable releases: Spawn #300 has been cooking for years now, and it's a massive 72-page issue with a cover reminiscent of a particular Spider-Man issue. The penultimate issue of Curse Words is out this week, while Section Zero ends entirely. Annnnndd looks like it's a wrap for The Wicked + The Divine too, barring perhaps an epilogue?
NEW this week:
[B]Battlepug[/B] is coming to print! New stories from Mike Norton's pug-riding barbarian story, which you might've previously caught in webcomic format.
[B]Pretty Deadly: The Rat[/B] sees the long-awaited return of all-star duo Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Ríos to Image! The third entry in the poetically violent Pretty Deadly series is another stand-alone affair that's poised to look gorgeous and be full of righteous rage.
