Although there's always less, for me personally, to get excited about from Image solicits than Marvel, I get MORE excited for the books here than any cape series.

[Drz]

Kill or be kIlled alongside Black Monday Murders are my most anticipated titles of 2016.

[wwise03]

Looking forward to the influx of new books from top of the line creators, beginning with Kill or Be Killed and The Black Monday Murders. I will also be getting Invincible, Lazarus, and Descender.

Excellent choice!

Lazarus #24 (still my Image favorite series)
Switch #7 (to complete the series)
The Black Monday Murders #1 (will probably check this out, Hickman is really hit or miss with me)
Kill or Be Killed #1 (on the fence with this one--Brubaker is a favorite, but not intrigued by the pitch)

Still waiting for Crosswinds announcement and the return of Copperhead and Velvet (assuming it doesn't end at #15)

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

The usuals:

Autumnlands
Saga
Paper Girls
Casanova

Welcome, welcome:

Kill Or Be Killed
possibly Demonic & Black Monday Murders

[CaptCleghorn]

Wait, No Bitch, No Manhattan, No Bullets? All I get is Midnight of the Soul this month? Sob!

[AwesomeUsername]

Still waiting for Crosswinds announcement and the return of Copperhead and Velvet (assuming it doesn't end at #15)

I was really hoping to see a new issue of Copperhead solicited as well. I just checked Jay's twitter for any news and he said they're working on it but won't solicit anything until it's ready to go on monthly. Hopefully it won't take much longer.

[GrifterWC]

The Autumnlands #14
The Beauty #10
The Discipline #6
Drifter #14
East of West #29
Eden's Fall #1
Lazarus #24
Nailbiter #24
Postal #14
Renato Jones: The One % #4
Revival #42
Spawn #266
Spread #15
Symmetry #7
The Walking Dead #157

[Fuzzy Barbarian]

Definitely:
THE BLACK MONDAY MURDERS #1 - Hickman is hit-or-miss for me, but his high-concept stuff, when it's not humorous, is usually great, so why not?
KILL OR BE KILLED #1 - Read the previews and it looks great. Plus, I just love Brubaker. Hopefully there's not character overload like with The Fade Out.
DESCENDER #14
OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA #20

Maybe:
HORIZON #2
THE HUNT #2
MECHANISM #2
SNOTGIRL #2 - "Hottest new series of 2016"? Really? I've heard no one talk about this. At all.

Might depend on the circles you traverse in maybe? On this forum it's definitely been quiet about this series, but I don't doubt that a lot of people are very hyped to see new work from Bryan Lee O'Malley. The premise sounds funny to me, not sure if it's enough to sustain a whole series but we'll see.
