Weekly Image poll #19 - Spawn & Witchblade scale the cross-over Barrier

Since I liked my dumb introduction so much last time I'm gonna copypaste it wholesale; wassup famsquad, it's paneltime!

The poll saw a brand new series win l[URL="http://community.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?110737-Weekly-Image-poll-18-Ride-or-Die-boys"]ast week[/URL], that's only happened once before so far this year! It's glory for now, for [B]Death Or Glory[/B]!

What's happening this week: Isola is reprinting issue 1, always a good sign. Maestros is wrapping up a storyline, while Port of Earth begins a new one. Sleepless, Youngblood and Southern Bastards are also concluding their current storylines.

Besides those temporary endpoints though we also see two new series this week.
1. First up is a heavy-hitter, Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin, known for The Private Eye together, are releasing two issues for [B]Barrier[/B] this week. Described as an "unconventional drama about violence, language, and illegal immigration...with a shocking sci-fi twist". This one's releasing weekly from now on, in landscape format. Supposedly it'll never get a trade paperback either, but keep in mind these guys also said The Private Eye would never get a printed version. ;)

2. Here's something two decades in the making: [B]Medieval Spawn/Witchblade[/B]. A limited series cross-over with Augmented Reality covers for 2.99 starring Image stalwarts Spawn and Witchblade, debuting with a double sized first issue? Someone break out the holo-foil!

[I]Southern Bastards[/I] was awesome

Yeah it was awesome :D I was a little surprised by the ending and especially the fate of some characters.

Read just 2 comics this week, Isola and Prism Stalker. Voted for the latter. Isola still isn't quite doing it for me, although it is really gorgeous and they're aiming for a cool atmosphere here. Was hoping it'd grab me earlier, but I'm gonna give this a few more issues, there's a lot of potential there.
