I agree about King Spawn being a slow boring couple of issues but I really enjoyed both Gunslinger and Case Files.

I've been enjoying Gunslinger for the most part. I do feel that of late it has been spinning its wheels a bit, but hoping that now that we are past Spawn #350 that things pickup.
I also noticed the new angel that resemble Angela. I am surprised that Todd never did spite Gaiman and even create another character that looked similar to Angela and named her Angelic or Angelica as her twin sister, then just continue on with the character as if it were Angela with some changes. Nothing that Gaiman could do at that point.

Liefeld was once stopped from using an original character he created to finish off his leftover Captain America scripts. Instead, Rob ended up buying the rights to an actual WWII era super patriot character and even then there were restrictions placed on him by Marvel.
Rat city and scorched 28 now out
Loving the new storyline in Scorched.
Well, Rat City #1 is doing so well that Image did a press release said that the first issue has sold out completely at the distributor level and the first issue is being fast-tracked for a reprint which is fantastic to hear - https://imagecomics.com/press-releas...pages-revealed
Looking forward to getting my hands on this.
hasn't every book that Image has ever published sold out at the distributor? lol
Now spawn 352 is gonna show us who the red head angel is and Sam and twitch 2nd issue is coming too
Enjoyed Rat City quite a bit and Scorched is great. Made sure to put all the Spawn books on my pulllist cause my store only puts like one copy on the shelves

I don't believe so necessarily. Issue #1 of Rat City, all three Ghost Machine books, The One Hand, Cobra Commander, and Moon Man have gotten that press release from Image this year so far. But in that same time frame books like Six Fingers (attached to The One Hand), Remender's Napalm Lullaby, Sam & Twitch Case Files and many other books that launched haven't. Not to say that is a bad thing not getting that news as comic sales are relative, but it's at least something to see what is catching on seemingly. In the case of Rat City, they have been pushing that a lot compared to other New U books, even Todd's own Sam & Twitch book which I find interesting, and it seems to have paid off which is great for a book that really hasn't been setup previously in the other books like say Gunslinger was, a brand new team, and feels really fresh compared to what is currently out with its sort of Batman Beyond future like setting.
