Finished Death or Glory last night, and while I enjoyed reading it, it only momentarily hooked me like I was hooked when reading A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance. I was hoping for the same high-paced action rush once more, and I didn't really get that, although the setting provided ample space for it.

I do recommend giving Death or Glory a read. Especially since I'm unsure if my lack of rush is due to the fact that I read it in 5-10 sittings instead of just one or two. To the point where I'm considering reading it again right away 😅.

What do you think of Death or Glory?

Hello, I've read Hitomi and I am amazed by the graphic, story and tale. I am searching for something else to read. I like Japanese culture, samurai tales combined with pinch of Kurosawa atmosphere. Could you please recommend something? I am not fan of sci-fi, manga and cartoon like characters. Thanks!

Hi! I recently wanted to start reading old image comics from when the company was born and I found this super girl named Infiniti that where just in a few comics and only as an extra 5 pages per comic.

It says that the part 2 is in Shadowhawk #2, but I can't find one that shows her. Someone knows where to find it? Or where to find just the "extra-image" of her?

I typically go for the individual issues, but I’ve never seen scud issues in the wild. Saw this compendium and had to pick it up. Anyone else read this one? It is so weird, but I am loving it.

Deniz Camp’s wordless nine-panel grid had me sitting in quiet admiration, Zoe Thorogood’s completely wrecked me emotionally

Wasn’t Geiger: Ground Zero supposed to be part of the volume? I was just looking and they have since taken out Ground Zero and added one of the stories from the 80 page event. Am I crazy?

GONKBONK REVIEWS: NIGHTS #13 (ADVANCED REVIEW)

Nights is set to kick off its second season this February with an intriguing flashback story focusing on Tsukumari's younger days at Chimera. Image Comics was kind enough to send us an early review copy, and as a longtime fan of this series, I couldn’t wait to dive in. Full of surprises as always, Nights #13 takes us on a supernatural spy adventure that expands the series in exciting ways.

Read the full version of this review here.

Review:

As you can expect from Nights, issue #13 has a little bit of everything packed into it: action, comedy, supernatural suspense, and fantastic world-building. This issue adds a new dimension to a character who has remained largely a mystery since the early parts of the series.

The espionage-style storytelling brings a different energy to Nights, making this issue feel more like a supernatural spy thriller. But even with the greater focus on action and suspense, the series' signature playfulness and sharp character dynamics remain intact. As always, Wyatt Kennedy and Luigi Formisano sprinkle in rich lore throughout the issue, making the world of Nights feel even more expansive than ever.

Luigi Formisano and Francesco Segala's depiction of the 1970s is unique, with every scene–from a quaint home in Estonia to the parties in Las Vegas–rendered in great detail. A nice touch also is seeing some familiar characters designed with 70s flair, making the flashback setting all the more fun for the new arc. >!It makes this new story feel so much more distinct from the main story involving Vince in present times.!<

With the spotlight on Tsukumari and Gray, this arc promises major revelations, enriching the characters and their complex relationships. The creative team of Wyatt Kennedy and Luigi Formisano continues to impress, proving that Nights remains one of Image Comics' most unpredictable and exciting ongoing series.

Why You Should Read Nights:

• The series continues to surprise with its blend of supernatural elements, character drama, and top-tier world-building.
• This issue offers a crucial backstory for key characters while maintaining the series' signature mix of humor and intrigue.
• Luigi Formisano’s artwork and Francesco Segala’s colors bring the 1970s setting to vibrant life, making every panel a visual treat.

Okay, so don't get me wrong, a lot of the stuff has certainly...aged. I'm barely in my 20s, but I have a soft spot for storytelling of Image in those days. Gen 13 was my rock in high school (outside of Peter David's Young Justice, but we're talking strictly Image here), I've been trying to get into early Savage Dragon, I've read a few Danger Girl's, WildCats, Youngblood. They're not masterpieces, but they're entertaining, and good art (again, teenage boy when I first read it, I'm nostalgic). I'm just not always looking for literary masterpieces. Sometimes I just want something with a 90s chaotic vibe. I got into Image in the era of Invincible and Saga, and I love those books, so it's interesting to see the start of things.

Today i had some interoffice mail, i was stoked to find these in the envelope. My buddy owns a comic shop in Lapeer Mi, (Comic Explosion). I few weeks ago i mentioned that this series and he came through. I havent read any comics since Do a Powerbomb and I grew up on skateboarding, punk rock, and nostalgia so this should be right up my alley.

My comic book experience has pretty much only ever been Marvel or DC but I picked up Invincible lately after watching the show and loved it. I then absolutely ate up Saga and am currently halfway through Descender, again excellent. Not sure why Image comics has been such a gap in my life but what are your guys other suggestions?

Howdy y’all. I just got Hoopla and just wanna make sure this is right. I know this book is a story split up by 2 titles but is this right? It says in hoopla its issues 1-5. Is each issue one hand/six fingers out together? Or is this only half the story?

GONKBONK REVIEWS: BLOOD TRAIN #1

This fun, little horror one-shot from Image Comics kicks off its new Ninth Circle imprint, promising a mix of Resident Evil-like bioweapons and Train to Busan-esque survival terror. Created by writer Adam Glass and artist Bernard Chang, this 48-page comic wastes no time unleashing its brutal brand of frights and body horror.

Read the full version of this review here.

Review:

It’s full steam ahead for Blood Train from the moment you turn the first page. Adam Glass doesn’t slow things down with heavy exposition, instead opting for breakneck pacing that perfectly suits the claustrophobic setting and tight page count.

Bernard Chang's monster designs are very distinct, making the horror elements shine throughout every page. While the comic refers to the monsters as “vampires,” they look like something right out of Resident Evil with their monstrous and grotesque appearances. Chang’s coloring also makes the comic’s visuals pop, the more vibrant palette gives the whole book a fever dream quality, perfectly matching the story's escalating insanity.

Blood Train is a solid start for Image's Ninth Circle horror imprint. While it may not reinvent the wheel in certain areas, it delivers exactly what it promises: a fast-paced, visually stunning horror experience. While deeper character development would have added emotional weight to the story, the frenetic pacing and stunning visuals largely make up for this shortcoming.

For horror fans, especially those who enjoy body horror and zombie-style outbreaks, Blood Train is an easy recommendation.

Why You Should Read Blood Train:

• Bernard Chang's artwork is a visual feast, especially his intricate monster designs and fever-dream color palette.
• Horror fans will appreciate the creative kills and body horror transformations.
• It's a self-contained story that delivers a complete, action-packed experience in one sitting.
• Perfect for readers who enjoy fast-paced, visceral horror without complex

I just finished the first saga compendium collecting issues 1-54, and wow, the ending definitely caught me off guard. Overall, it was an absolutely fantastic read though.

I am still very new to comics and am definitely glad I followed other people’s recommendations to read this. This is the second comic I have read, the other being Invincible (which I collected the three compendiums of).

Naturally, I have a few questions:

• It seems like Saga is still an ongoing series with new issues being put out, is this the case?
• And if so, when can we expect a second compendium to be released?

Read a bit of spawn (have a few of the deluxe editions) and recently picked up 1-4 of spawn violator origin.

Holy cow, the art is amazing and story is actually good too, I wish spawn could be like this all the time.

Comparing the print quality, as well as the amount of pages and no adverts, it makes me wonder why people (including me) continue to buy other brands. It feels like most nowadays are slim, low effort, barely any story and packed with as many ads as actual pages.

I just want to take a moment to appreciate Image Comics’ cover and print quality. For $3.99, you’re getting thick, glossy covers and solid interior pages that feel premium compared to some of the flimsy stuff out there.

Not naming names (cough certain big publishers cough), but when you’re paying the same price (or more) for a book that feels like a grocery store flyer, it makes you appreciate what Image is doing even more.

They’ve been consistently putting out high-quality prints without jacking up the price, and it makes a difference. Feels like you’re actually getting your money’s worth.

Anyone else notice this, or am I just weirdly obsessed with paper quality?

This was REALLY promising. Beautiful artwork, neat setup. I’m almost mad I read it because I’m trying to keep my pull list small. Can’t keep adding stuff like this.

I only read about jim lee drawing batman hush again. What about the others?
