"Chrononauts," "Descender" Debut, "Nailbiter/Hack/Slash" in Image Comics' March 2015 Solicitations

[El Sombrero]

Exciting month here, even with Southern Bastards and Deadly Class on break:

CHRONONAUTS - love the idea of Sean Murphy on this project. I do think that logo is terrible though, and that's not a very effective cover.
Descender - I think Lemire is overrated but I'll give this a try. Nguyen is really good.
Southern Cross - I like Becky Cloonan's sensibilities, and Loughridge may be my favorite colorist right now. I hope the interior art is good.
Chew - love the cover
The Dying and the Dead - depends on whether I like the first issue. I think this plot / pitch works well with Hickman's sensibilities.
Saga - best comic evar
Wayward - this book is on life support with me. I plan on dropping it after #5 unless that issue really delivers.

[Amacent]

- Alex + Ada #13
- Chew #47
- Descender #1
- Manifest Destiny #15
- Penny Dora & The Wishing Box #5
- Saga #26
- The Autumnlands : Tooth & Claw #5

[Azrael]

No Li'l Depressed Boy?

[Shadowras]

Spawn#251
IX Generation#3

[klynn]

For certain:
Bitch Planet #4
Goners #6
Velvet #11
(I think the delayed Rat Queens #10 is supposed to come out in March as well)

Possibly:
Chrononauts #1 (I'm a sucker for Sean Murphy)

And in trades:
Copperhead, Vol. 1 TP (possibly)
Lazarus, Vol. 3: Conclave TP
Velvet, V01. 2: The Secret Lives of Dead Men TP

[Noodle]

-Alex + Ada vol. 2 TP
-Lazarus vol. 3: Conclave TP
-The Li'l Depressed Boy vol. 5 TP
-Velvet vol. 2: The Secret lives of Dead Men TP
-Outcast #7

The problem with trade-waiting a series is when all those series release a trade at the same time. Probably the biggest Image month I've ever had.

[Mjolnir]

Descender #1 (Yes! Finally!)
Invisible Republic #1 (Another long announced title finally here.)

[Lady Warp Spasm]

Nothing this month.

[cc008]

Wow... no LOW, Deadly Class, Lazarus, or Southern Bastards.

Drifter #5 is the only book on my pull I'll be getting. Man, the covers for this book just keep getting better and better. Speaking of which, the cover for Copperhead Vol. 1 is very nice, too.

Interested in Descender and Invisible Republic to check both of them out. And since must of my books are on hiatus, I will.

[Ilan Preskovsky]

A lot of my favourites are on hiatus this month but that does give me a chance to check out some new stuff.

Chrononauts looks very promising as Millar has had a real return to form with stuff like Starlight and Sean Murphy's art is pretty spectacular.

Descender, on the other hand, suffers from the problem that I haven't really gotten into most of Lemire's work, even though the art should be phenomenal.

Invisible Republic looks really promising, coming from a very well respected creative team - I am starting to wonder though if perhaps this isn't one futuristic scifi series too many for me.

Finally, I'm totally unfamiliar with Xavier Dorrison but Red One looks like it might be a lot of fun.

[Iam Fear]

Simply put, Five Ghosts is about an adventurer who is possessed by five ghosts that help (and some times hinder) him during his travels. It is mostly mindless, pulpy fun but, damn, it is a lot of fun.

Wasn't that a early 90s movie with Robert Downey Jr?
