Just picked up this page from Deadly Class #4 showing Saya and Maria doing lines off of a Def Leppard mirror in a rest stop bathroom. Love this series!

Great page!

Looking back now...

Regarding the cover for 157...

Seem like #0 to me. Lots off scenario setting and back story in each...

I enjoyed Action 957 probably more than I should have...i'm sure I can find haters for each of the new issues online somewhere. Some people that review comics rant like they have a monocle and are sipping high tea when they're writing it.

Agreed. Action 957 made me excited to get a new Superman comic every week.

Having said that, Action 957 is not a good jumping on point. You still need to have read Superman: Lois and Clark as well as The Final Days of Superman arc. Superman Rebirth last week gives some context, but not enough.

Oh my ! Best issue in a long time...and yes, I'm well aware its been a long time between issues. Southern Bastards is about injustice, justice, vengeance, bad people, worse people, and people who are collateral damage. What a great book. Welcome home Roberta...

 

Enjoyed #14 very much. Bummed though to wait another 3-4 months for the plot to advance.

 

No mention of it in the August solicitations, so it'll be at least September. #14 was a great read though...

I love how this thread starts with you discovering these variants and then building your collection. Congrats, so many great covers...

I just went on the Image website and answered my own question. Case closed. It's the start of the arc.

Good start of the close out of year 2.. First issue of the arc.

So was #25 the last issue of Year 2, or the first issue of the last arc of Year 2? It didn't feel like the end of an arc...

Look. I get all this vitriol. I don't know why it's me that gets sole blame here.

 

Panzerfaust IS happening. We had to take a break because there was NO money in it. How was Tyler supposed to support his family on $300 an issue? I'm making the finale happen by funding it myself. I'm committed to finishing that series.

 

Pisces was awful life circumstances. Johnnie lost his father and I was in the middle of a legal battle to get a squatter out of my house in Saskatoon.

 

And Rat Queens has been hell, regardless of its sales. I just need a break from trying to make it work so I can regroup and refocus.

 

As for Bounty. It's the best thing I've written. And five issues will be done before t even comes out.

 

Sometimes I'm to blame, but I've had a very run of luck the past two years.

Fair enough, but as a business Image need to maintain the integrity of their brand.

They should have jumped in immediately and funded the last two PP issues so you guys could finish on schedule. They should be encouraging you to complete the current RQ arc before putting the title on hold.

And they should be enquiringly about Pisces. Ten months since the last issue is a long time if the primary reason is because Johnnie's father passed. That's an awful thing for anyone to go through, but most if not all of us on these boards have employers who would expect us back at work after a few weeks (hope that doesn't make me sound like a jerk).

Maybe I don't fully inderstand the role of Image.

As a big fan of this book (and PP) - that hurts.

 

I can accept the decision as long as there's not a new title coming out in the near future from Kurtis. Whilst Image is by far and away my favourite publisher, they do have a tendency to put zero focus on finishing out titles properly, and huge investment in a never ending conveyor belt of new titles.

 

I get that sales can be a defining factor, but if I was building a strategy for Image I'd make one of the goals to have less #1 and more #30+. I really feel that readers would be more loyal to the titles they enjoy if the weren't constantly having to reevaluate their pull list to accomodate more new titles from their favourite artists.

 

PP was two issues from completion when the book became no longer financially viable for the artists. I get that, but surely Image needed to step in at the time and fund the last two issues for the sake of their brand and their audience.

 

First ever rant. Apologies.

 

I completely agree. To kill Panzerfaust with 2 issues left actually shows a pretty high degree of disregard for loyal customers. And as far as Kurtis being busy, maybe he should lay off the Dming and be more committed to his projects.

 

From Bleeding Cool

 

"His other Image title Peter Panzerfaust also remains on hiatus, But hid new book with Mindy Lee, Bounty is for Dark Horse Comics and out in June instead."

Oh man. I now have three titles by Kurtis in my 'Maybe one day' pile. I forgot about Pisces. That died after #3... Still hoping all three make a comeback, but may have to take a pass on Bounty. Not seeing much incentive to start a new title.

Started reading it a few weeks ago. Have read the first three trades. Great story so far and I can't wait to read what happens next!

 

So when an adult questions my maturity level because I read comics, I lend them my trades of Saga. Then, they get it. This series got me back into comics after many years away. BKV and Fiona Staples are genius together.

 

If you haven't checked out Y the last man, you should.

 

One of the first series I sat down and just ripped through. Brilliant!

 

Y is the book that I wanted to love but for some reason couldn't - I have no idea why it didn't interest me. I tend to really enjoy BKV's writing.

 

I do love the covers though.

Interesting, I loved the story and hated the covers. Each to their own though...

From Snyder on Twitter just now

Thank you guys for asking about Wytches - have carve outs in my contract for both WYTCHES and AD. Don't worry!

From the DC panel this morning:

But wait, there's one more Bat-thing -- Snyder is now under an exclusive deal with DC Comics. "So we never have to address the elephant in the room again," Lee said.

What does this mean for the next arc of Wytches? It would be a shame to not see this story continue...

Just added a cover from Deadly Class by Wes Craig. I have been looking for one for a while and super happy with the one I found

 

Deadly Class Cover

Great cover, congrats!

Bedlam

Here are three personal grails that I've acquired over the last few months.

What issue is Invincible currently at?

 

127 drops on 4:20. The compendiums are like every 45ish issues, I'd guess another year maybe?

 

Holding out for an Angstrom Levy page.

 

Ryan has the death of Angstrom cover, how about that?

i hope Angstrom comes back. Always saw him as the arch nemesis of the series.

When you look up 'haul' in the dictionary, it should be your post. Great books!

I need to buy another Invincible page!

 

Yeah you do! Get to it!

Holding out for an Angstrom Levy page.

I need to buy another Invincible page!

I picked up a copy and really enjoyed it. Dave Taylor did a great job with the art too. I'm glad to have it back regardlesss of the wait.

+1

#7 was just as good as #1-6. Looking forward to #8.

Great cliffhanger to finish the arc... Still one of the best books going at the moment.

#16 first Angstrom Levy? Does it matter? I don't know think so as it's a cheap book.

Still holding out hope that Angstrom Levy makes a comeback. For me he's the best villain in Invincible.

I read the issue then started counting the minutes till #125.
