Wow, impressive art...adding to my pull!

Any news when Deadly Class and Low are coming back?

Standard breaks/hiatuses with Image books tend to be two to three months. Some longer, and some much longer than that. But the monthlies that are chugging along at a good pace typically are off two or three months. Deadly Class's last issue before break is in September so I would guess a December or January return. Same goes for Low with the last issue of it's current arc coming out in September means it'll probably back in December or January.

Wow, impressive art...adding to my pull!

Damn. I can see why this has taken so long to get it's first issue solicited (besides the triple size first issue). The art is fantastic!

Just an FYI here but Pisces has been cancelled.

That's hugely disappointing, C.O.W.L & Secret Identities cut short & now Pisces cancelled outright.

That's hugely disappointing, C.O.W.L & Secret Identities cut short & now Pisces cancelled outright.

It does seem that some of these creators are giving up on their books too soon. That said, with these three books, I think you could see the writing on the wall pretty early on if you looked hard enough.

When C.O.W.L. was announced, the idea seemed to have some legs to it. However, I read the first two issues and thought it was rubbish. The other two books didn't really sound like ideas that would sell from the moment they were announced.

Folks that are wondering about Pisces should check out the discussion from last month's Image solicits...

The same creative team as COWL have a new book coming out called Hadrian's Wall. It was originally stated as coming out in Nov, but was absent from the solicuts. They've done some recent interviews and the idea sounds interesting, but color me burnt...I'll trade wait it based upon reviews and outlook.

Any news when Deadly Class and Low are coming back?

Remember has stated Low returns in Dec. I really hope that this ends up getting a Deluxe HC treatment! Remember is truly on fire with his creator work (I've seen the pencils for Tokyo Drift issue #1 and it's going to be amazing too), so I'm so happy that he's 100% focusing on creator owned!

Does anyone have the East of West HC? How are the extras? The Saga HC is amazing, so trying to assess whether EoW HC is on par.

[El Sombrero]

Definite buys

Saga
Chew
Descender
Tokyo Ghost
Black Magick
Monstress

Depends on if I like the first issue enough

Paper Girls
Plutona
I Hate Fairyland

Probably last chance before it gets dropped

Pretty Deadly (still unsure how much I liked the first volume, the preview of this really bored me)

Very good month overall. Enough new series coming out that even if I don't end up liking most of them, I'm still guaranteed to get a decent share of Image books each month.
