Welcome gang, in these weekly threads we vote on our fave Image comics of the week and maybe chat about whatever we want, join in!
Last time around Image's premiere series reaffirmed its status; seems like the latest arc of The Walking Dead is being received well!
This time around a lot of comics are releasing! Storylines are wrapping up for Angelic, Port of Earth and Black Monday Murders, whilst Curse Words begins a new one. Also noteworthy is that Ice Cream Man is reprinting its first issue already, indicating stronger sales than anticipated. This week also marks two endings however, with Lazarus X+66 wrapping up after 6 issues as intended - likely indicating the return of the major Lazarus series very soon?
Special mention though must be made of Invincible's ending. After 144 issues (plus some other appearances in series like Tech Jacket), the 12-parter arc "the ending of all things" promises to wrap up everything that occurred the past decade and a half. Woof. Pour one out everyboday, Invincible, we salute you.
New this week are three things:
1. Bingo Love is a heartwarming, 60-year spanning romance story of 2 grandmas who originally meet at Church bingo night. Six decades later they find themselves at a bingo evening once again, forming the bookend to retell this (hopefully) touching romance.
2. Death of Love looks like the perfect antidote for everyone who had a rotten Valentine's day yesterday. A drunkard somehow gains the power to see all the Cupidae who are constantly forming relationships between people all around him. Naturally, he decides to go to war against love itself - Bruce Campbell style.
3. Kick-Ass makes its return this week. Mark Millar is writing once again, and John Romita Jr. is on art duties for this one. The new Kick-Ass is quite literally about a new character beneath the old mask, who has some big shoes to fill. Hopefully the character takes off immediately like Miles Morales did for Spider-Man, years ago.
