You are not a good salesman.FRONTIER #1 - GEM OF THE MONTH
STORY / ART / COVER: JONATHAN HICKMAN
NOVEMBER 16 / 56 PAGES / FC / M / $4.99
SERIES PREMIERE
"TRANQUILITY"
Double-sized first issue!
The planets have aligned, and the prodigal son has returned! For the first time in eight years, JONATHAN HICKMAN (EAST OF WEST, BLACK MONDAY MURDERS, Secret Wars, Avengers) is both writing and drawing a new comic series: FRONTIER.
It's like Star Trek, but super depressing.
Seriously. Not a joke. The final frontier...is a total bummer.
Who wants to bet there's a secret group/cabal, a woman who's covered in a lot of whiteout or heavily inked, and one of the major themes is death?
Opinions may vary in quality.
My big article on Mariko Tamaki's Hulk & She-Hulk runs, discussing the good, bad, and its creation.
My second big article on She-Hulk, discussing Jason Aaron's focus on her in Avengers #20.
Would be nice if Hickman actually, you know, worked on some of his previous stuff before pumping out these new series...
East of West is missing again? Damn...
Chew #60 - Finally. Let's put this puppy to bed.
The Wicked + Divine #23
Arclight #3 - OMG, I thought this story was abandoned! So pleased! Hurrah!
Elephantmen #74
Horizon #5
No Mercy #11
Saga #40
One Week In The Library OGN - I'll give it a shot.
A light month from Image for me... Just FRONTIER and THE BLACK MONDAY MURDERS.
There are like three or four other things upcoming from Image that I want though, MOTOR CRUSH, PRIMA, and Greg Rucka's THE OLD GUARD immediately come to mind.
I am digging that FRONTIER cover.
I likes.

Just Snotgirl #5 & Papergirls Vol 2 for me.
There's a Time For Peace, and Then There's a Time To Punch Nazi Scumbags in the Face!!
Is it just me, or is it . . . strange . . . that this thread is in the "Hellboy" section and not the "Image Comics" part of the forums?
Did the Hellboy franchise get picked up by Image Comics or something?
I thought it was still part of Dark Horse.
The slow leak out of the Image balloon continues. Only 2 titles for me. SAGA #40 and THIEF OF THIEVES #37.
Definitely:
FRONTIER #1 - Another Hickman ongoing?! And a sci-fi one at that?! Sweet!!
VIOLENT LOVE #1 - Like the art style and general idea.
THE BLACK MONDAY MURDERS #4
CANNIBAL #2 - Looking forward to this. Buccellato is a great writer, especially on darker stuff.
ECLIPSE #3 - This is seriously an intersting premise and I hope to God it's good, because I'd like to have more of this setting.
KILL OR BE KILLED #4 - It was already intriguing, but the demon thing added a layer of genuine creepiness! Go Brubaker!
OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA #23
SNOTGIRL #5 - First issue was weirdly engaging despite the ******* protagonist and, well, ******* characters in general. Definitely giving this an arc.
Maybe:
MAYDAY #1 (OF 5) - Premise sounds interesting, but... Idno. Also, limited series.
CBLDF LIBERTY ANNUAL 2016
HORIZON #5 - First two issues haven't really grabbed me.
MECHANISM #5 - First issue didn't really have much besides exposition, and the characters aren't really that interesting.
MOONSHINE #2 - Depending on first ish.
REBORN #2 Decided to maybe follow this. Thought it was limited for some reason.
ROMULUS #2 - Vagueness not helping, since the first issue's solicitation sounded generic af.
SEVEN TO ETERNITY #3 - Mainly in this for Opena's art, tbh.
ONE WEEK IN THE LIBRARY OGN - Sounds interesting... anmd really, really artsy. At least art is nice and the preview is intriguing.
OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA BOOK 1 HC - Seriously, November solicitations are basically just rewarding me for holding off on trades for things. First Waid DD omnibus, then Uncanny Inhumans HC now this
NAILBITER, VOL. 5: BOUND BY BLOOD TP

So many great books coming out from Image at the moment, I'm mostly picking up HC's but there are a few trades I may get too.
Super excited for whatever exactly The Wicked + The Divine's doing this month.
