Low has been missing for a few months now...

Glad there's a Five Ghost Deluxe Edition coming out but can we have the East of West Deluxe or Fatale Deluxe vol. 2 solicited soon??

[Cap10nate]

Looks like only three of my usual Image pulls are being produced in May: Lazarus, Velvet, and Invincible. Might try the Ellis title that is making its debut although the premise doesn't seem terribly interesting to me at this point.

Why is Red One missing a month after only 3 issues?

[wwise03]

Also, no Alex + Ada? I thought it was ending at issue 15 this month?

What are fraction's plans for casanova? I take it acedia is a 4 issue arc. Will we get one of those sweet hardcovers for acedia? Will he start the next mini in the series soon?

Many new intriguing books this month though. I think I may give Injection and Valhalla Mad a try.

And man do I miss Mercenary Sea

[Anduinel]

Injection #1 - I'll give it a look. Ellis usually has an interesting idea to sell.

Mythic #1 - ...yeah, I'm a big old sucker for Phil Hester. I still miss Firebreather.

Wytches TPB v. 1

And the usual suspects:

Lazarus #17
Chew #49
Manifest Destiny #16
Saga #28
They're Not Like Us #6

[Geralt of Rivia]

Image is going to make me go broke...

INJECTION #1 - even if I didnt care for Trees, I'll try any Ellis written comic
ROCHE LIMIT: CLANDESTINY #1
BLACK SCIENCE #14
CHRONONAUTS #3
DESCENDER #3
THE DYING AND THE DEAD #5
LAZARUS #17
NAMELESS #4
SAGA #28
VELVET #13
ZERO #17

[Venom2099]

I guess Ill try out Injection.....the only other ones i get are Outcast, Lazarus....looks like wytches and southern bastards are MIA this month...

[TotalSnorefest]

Dang Injection sounds really interesting, maybe I'll have to try it after all. Also, has anyone heard ANYTHING about Material #1 so far? It sounds like they're just dropping this on us out of nowhere? Cool though, the synopsis sounds kinda like "Change" which I loved. Ales Kot is always worth a look, which issue of Zero was Will Tempest on again?

Also wanna just point out that TIM SALE is on the Elephantmen Shots issue.

Also, no Alex + Ada? I thought it was ending at issue 15 this month?

Not sure what's happening here, they've made some interesting scheduling decisions. Like they could've released trades during skip months to stay on schedule, but instead powered through all the way. Maybe they just need another month to make the ending really work; it's not like people are gonna drop it one issue before the end because of scheduling right?

[HellsRider]

Will try out Injection and The Mantle and glad Brisson is on something new so quickly too.

Another Kot series huh. I'm wondering if Zero is coming to an end soon or if he'll manage his workload of 3 Image titles and his Marvel work.

Glad that Lazarus is starting a new arc and a number of other comics that look really interesting. Should be a fun month!

If you haven't checked it out, Brisson has a new book out at BOOM!, Cluster. The first issue came out a couple of weeks ago and was a lot of fun.

Why is Red One missing a month after only 3 issues?

Red Ones original format is as 60-page graphic novels released in Europe as "Red Skin."
Image are then serialising it for North America as standard 22-page issues. I imagine itll come in 3 issue chunks after each 60 page volume is completed and released in Europe.
