Question about the Department of Truth

So a little while back I heard something about a TV show in the works for the Department of Truth, and I was wondering if anyone knew if it was canceled, still being worked on or if it was never a thing.

why compendiums are more common then their deluxe HC counterpart

why compendium are more and deluxe hardcovers are less

why classic series of image have compendiums coming and not the deluxe hardcovers

like CHEW, KILL OR BE KILLED

are recent ones getting compendiums and their counterpart deluxe hardovers have long been out of stock

so why aren't they also being printed

as i am a more of HC collector guy...

HCs look great on shelf and have more life compared to their compendium(SC) counterpart

i urge IMAGE comics to also reprint deluxe hardcovers for classic and best series like

CHEW NAILBITER KILL OR BE KILLED FATALE

these are to name a few...

It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour #1 Review (8/10)

GONKBONK REVIEWS: IT HAPPENED ON HYDE STREET: DEVOUR #1

While series like Rook: Exodus and Geiger hit familiar superhero flavors, the horror story Hyde Street has my attention the most from the exciting new initiative. Created by Maytal Zchut and Leila Leiz, this special extra-length one-shot horror comic has all the ingredients you need for a quick and nightmarish treat.

Read the full version of this review here.

Review:

Devour delivers a haunting, immersive horror experience perfect for the Halloween season. Rather than relying on constant shocks, Devour takes a slow-burn approach, making each scare land with greater impact. Creators Maytal Zchut and Leila Leiz excel in crafting an eerie atmosphere, with Leiz’s art bringing Hyde Street’s unique horrors to life. The nightmarish visuals, particularly the body horror elements, create shocking moments that linger in the mind.

One of the comic’s most enjoyable aspects is its nostalgic tone, evoking memories of Goosebumps or Tales from the Crypt but with a darker, more mature edge. With ghoulish narrations bookending the story, Devour feels like a chilling throwback to spooky tales from childhood, yet its mature themes make it even more disturbing. Fans of the incredible horror film The Substance will feel right at home here as Devour similarly leans on delivering a blunt and outlandish critique of beauty standards through unsettling horror.

Devour is a strong addition to Ghost Machine’s horror lineup and a promising glimpse of what’s to come. This one-shot ultimately proves that standalone horror stories can thrive in the Hyde Street universe. The issue left me craving more, and it’s exciting to imagine Ghost Machine potentially creating a full anthology of eerie tales set in this shadowy corner of its universe.

Why You Should Read It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour:

  • It's a perfectly-timed horror story for the Halloween season
  • Leila Leiz's artwork brings terrifying concepts to vivid, haunting life
  • It showcases Ghost Machine's potential for spine-chilling standalone stories within the Hyde Street universe.

comics like Trees by Warren Ellis

I read Trees by Warren Ellis like a year ago and I instantly fell in love with the high concept/low stakes story about first contact with a mysterious alien race. I loved the low stakes story about how this event affects the people that inhabit this world, and I loved that the aliens were mysterious and unknowable, only being represented by an artifact, like in 2001 A Space Odyssey

I've never read anything quite like Trees, it's very unique for a comic book. you don't see very many comics about realistic first contact. I don't need all of these elements present, but the realistic alien first contact part is what really draws me to the story. 2001 is my favorite movie due to how it presents aliens and our indirect, unconventional contact with them

I'd like to read more comics like this, but nothing quite scratches that itch. I know Ellis writes a lot of hard sci-fi in a similar style, but I've read most of them. my favorite aside from Trees was Ocean, due to the similar themes regarding non traditional first contact with a mysterious alien race. any suggestions?

Looking for GREAT Image Comics to read ( not individual issues-but collections)

So I’ve been a fan of Image since it was formed oh so many years ago. Since getting married and having kids I’ve fallen off a bit. I have Walking Dead, Saga, all the Spawn Compendiums (though I wouldn’t call it all great), Savage Dragon, Outcast, Deadly Class, Invincible, Ascender and Descender. What are other good collections of Image titles that I can look for and add to my ever growing colllection of GNs and Omnis? I like a wide variety of genres.

Standstill

Is nobody picking this book up? I can’t find anyone talking about it anywhere lol. If you are reading how are we feeling so far?

Personally, I’m liking it but I’m always left wanting more (not a negative).
