Weekly Image poll #11 - a Dry Country full of non-believers called Laura

[TotalSnorefest]

Excelsior, True Believers! In these weekly threads we vote on our fave Image comics of the week and maybe chat about whatever we want, join in! A day late again, maybe this is the new normal?

Last week's winner was a debut one! Gideon Falls takes the honour of being our first new series winning the poll this year.

What's happening this week you ask? Well, Deadly Class is back with a new storyline for one. No. 1 With A Bullet releases its penultimate issue, Paradiso ties up the ends to finish its first arc as does Slots, and the Kick-Ass relaunch sees its first reprint implying good sales.

New this week:
1. Dry Country is the new Rich Tommaso series, who is just on fire lately. He's delaying the second arc of Spy Seal to finish this series first, a Miami Vice esque detective series about a missing lady. The cover looks really cool imo, and I always like it when series launch without several variant covers haha. Pet peeve.

2. Infidel is a short limited series with a killer premise which I'm just gonna have to copy+paste wholesale: "Infidel follows an American Muslim woman and her multiracial neighbors who move into a building haunted by entities that feed off xenophobia."
Someone call Blumhouse productions, this sounds ready for screenplay treatment right away!

3. Postal: Laura is the second Postal one-shot set a year after the events at the Fall of Eden. This one's centered around Laura, naturally.

I'm pleased to see Slots is right up there with the others--oh wait, that's my vote--well, it deserves some mention. A very much out of the ordinary comic in both content and appearance; a boxing/con artist story with a smart, conniving lead character in a story much like Brubaker/Phillips' Criminal stories. Haven't read Dry Country yet, but it's in my stack of to-be-read.

Voted for Infidel since it's the only one I managed to read. It's a great idea mostly though, but I don't really love the artstyle. Might be worth a look for those who like the visuals from Sienkiewicz in Stray Toasters mode or maybe Wytches, though.

VS is a mess. I'm done with it. I wanted it to be good, but it's just a disaster. Ribic turning in bad work is a fucking shock, but it's right there on the page.

Infidel is only 5 issues? Shoot.

Hahaha

I saw the name of the writer for Infidel and ever since then I can't take the comic seriously. Sorry.

Does no one read The Beauty? At least Rose got one vote.
