Image Comics is my favorite publisher right now, mainly because of how diverse their offerings are. You want to read a story about a giant falcon with a bionic arm(Murder Falcon), they have it. You want to read a new take on a 90’s classic(Witchblade), they have it. Not to mention long running series like Savage Dragon and Spawn, Image has interesting stories that everyone can get into. Check out these upcoming new releases from Image Comics.
SIMON SAYS
Andre R. Frattino and Jesse Lee
Available September 11, 2019
Simon Says is a drama-filled, crime noir story that follows a former artist to the Führer who hunts down and seeks justice upon the Nazis he witnessed murder his friends and loved ones during the war. It is an original graphic novel inspired by true events and by a real world Holocaust survivor, Simon Wiesenthal, an artist who lost his family and took justice into his own hands.
OPHIUCHUS
Alexis Leriger de la Plante and Natasha Tara Petrović
Available August 21, 2019
Perfect for fans of Sloane Leong’s Prism Stalker, the day-glo drenched, cybernetic Young Adult/Teen adventure of Ophiuchus follows the story of a lone sentry to an ancient inactive warp gate. But when a strange being breaks through and infects her with a sentient virus, she’s approached by two machines who implore her to follow them to the center of the universe and put an end to the malevolent rot before it spreads to the surrounding worlds.
HEAVY LIQUID
Paul Pope
Available June 19, 2019
TIME magazine listed Heavy Liquid among the 100 most important science fiction graphic novels of the decade when it originally debuted in the 2000s, and its relevance and influence continues to grow. This new edition is designed and edited by the artist himself, restores the artwork for the first time to its original “widescreen” format (wider that typical US comics), and features a newly refined two-color palette. The opening and closing 16 pages are in full color, including newly designed artwork for this edition and all of the original “virgin” cover designs, with logos and added type removed.
