Continuing our occasional, rather frank, discussions with Image Comics Publisher, Eric Stephenson Now it seems rocking a rather retro look.  Well, I suppose revamps are in the air right now. Okay, to business. Rich: Every several months, we seem to get a boom in attention over a bunch of creator owned books The last time was around[...]

Who remembers Stephen Platt? Hyper textualised, hyper exaggerated, he was the ultime in the worst of what would later be called Image Comics style… and also the best Every character, every page, every panel exploded in a mass of detail Anatomy was for losers, especially when it could be covered in wood splinters, bullets or[...]

I want to examine the economics of tradewaiting — and via a few examples, try to work out whether we're really saving as much money by tradewaiting as we think. To do this, I'm going to pick a handful of the highest-profile runs in recent years from DC, Image and Marvel, and look at how much[...]

There's a new issue of Carbon Grey in the June Previews, from Image But just because a book gets published by Image, even its second series, there's no guarantee it will be plain sailing.

Image printed a large overprint, but sold out of that today as well. But you know what? 44 pages for $9 instead of $3 is a big jump But it's still only slightly more than if you bought the equivalent at Marvel's $3.99 20 page price point… Here you go folks The current asking – and[...]

Funded by Kickstarter, published by Image, drawn by Artiz Eiguran, the format allows Jimmy to stretch out his usual high octane writing style, slow down and take a beat As a result we get something closer to Daniel Clowes than Jimmy Palmiotti, as a rather complex woman, her life already sexually complex enough with a[...]

Bleeding Cool looked at recent speculator fueled demand for a number of comic books recently, resembling the speculator boom that occurred around the release of Chew and other Image titles a couple of years ago.
