    What appeals about Image most is the superb diversity on offer and the prices! The TPBS are half the cost of a Marvel TPB.
    100%

    So diverse. They offer every type of book imaginable (slight exaggeration). The types of books I'm reading from Image alone span from a time piece like Deadly Class to the sci-fi western Drifter, to crime noir Southern Bastards. Every book I pull from Image, I pull because it offers a different reading experience than anything a super hero comic from Marvel or DC or anywhere else can give me.

    I'm still relatively new to comics but so far Image has had most of my attention. I currently read, in no particular order; Saga, East of West (my absolute favorite), Manifest Destiny, Black Science, Bitch Planet, Fade Out, Low (Second favorite), and the Wicked and the Divine. Image consumes a good amount of my pull list.

    Absolutely this here. Sci-fi is my genre of choice and the selection/quality from Image is outstanding.

    Image is now my late 90s to mid 2000s Vertigo. I've added Deadly Class, Black Science and Outcast to my trade waiting list. A lot of my go-to artists seem to be heading or headed to Image, which is great.

    On deck, are the first trades of Alex + Ada and Trees.

    I gave Pretty Deadly and East of West a fair shot, but had to pass. The art of both books are fantastic. I'm looking at giving Revival, Low, Sex Criminals, Bitch Planet and Thief of Thieves a shot.

    The only Image comic I read monthly is Savage Dragon. In collections: Invincible, Walking Dead, Stray Bullets, Chew, Lazarus, Southern Bastards, Velvet, Saga, Manhattan Projects, and whatever short series Brubaker/Phillips are creating.

    As a fan of Ross Campbell, I would love to see him back on a creator-owned project. Loved his work on Glory. Somebody should partner with Scott Kollins (with a decent colorist) for something, too.

    Tried and didn't like enough:

    Pretty Deadly
    Great Pacific
    Zero

    Bought one shots or mini's and will keep:

    Fatale
    Severed
    The Infinite Horizon
    A few Hickman Books:

    One of the two main characters from The Fuse is black. Off the tippy top of my head..

    Nailbiter and The Fuse have black male leads, and plenty of their comics have main characters who aren't black or white, just a vague tan race.

    A Voice in the Dark features an African-American woman as protagonist. Probably the most diverse cast in terms of race, gender and sexuality I've seen in any comic so far (also it's very good).
    Saga would be another one here, though that's more of an ensemble cast situation plus a lot of fantasy species.
    ODY-C has about every skincolour you can think of, the main character isn't white.

    Revival gets dull at times, but damn if they didn't suck me in with their dumb mysteries. I can't bail now. I have that same issue with Morning Glories. Some months I %^&*ing hate it, but when they get good, it is all worth it.

    The main group in Deadly Class is a diverse group of kids too.

    I could be mistaken, but I believe the main protagonist of the second arc of Pretty Deadly is also black.
