Slow week for Image as only a few titles were solicited last week. Shutter #4 with 7 votes came away as the winner. Also Justin Jordan and Kyle Strahm's Spread #1 had a strong debut. At my LCS I noticed both of these titles were sold out rather quickly. In the case of Shutter my shop had to reorder more copies as they often do under order.
Just a reminder Alex + Ada and Deadly Class are both releasing their first volume this week. Both titles are much loved in this forum and here's a good chance to jump on board. Last month's comic of the week winner The Wicked + the Divine is back with issue 2. Can they keep the momentum after last issue's smashing success? Hopefully sales don't fall off a cliff after the first issue like so many Marvel and Dc titles. Image needs more titles like Walking Dead and Saga that are consistently atop the sales charts. Kirkman's Outcast and The Wicked + the Divine has a chance.
New title this week is Dark Engine #1 by Ryan Burton and John Bivens.

Rat Queens coming back after being away for so long just reminds me of how much I love this comic. Gorgeous artwork, great writing and lovable characters, just a perfect comic in my eyes. Great issue, story is moving along with some great new characters.

hard choice between Bullets and Queens, but I voted for the Queens--it just makes me happier.
