Oh shit man, Bru's on stage.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy run down my face

 

[Dan]

Fatale ending at #24.

Brubaker and Phillips signed some kind of 5 year deal with Image letting them do whatever the hell they want.

New book called The Fade Out.

 

[Messi]

ITS HAPPENING

What am I even looking at? Why is that cucumber kissing a piece of paper? Is that Rafa?

Spoiler

[doniewhalberg]

HOLY SHIT. 5 YEARS. WHAT. WHAT

 

[frye]

ITS HAPPENING

non-milligan doops are like... non-morrison damians, so it's good that the king is back

 

[La Maquinon]

What?

I guess some people who have long running Image books might feel a little left out of the hooplah? Or they are joking about their lack of presence?

Another teaser Image for Bitch Planet from Multiversity. YES YES YES

 

[Messi]

Will there be SAGA news?

 

[doniewhalberg]

I don't even. I can't handle that. Bru and Snyer. Aw man.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

If I had just one wish
One demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this,life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet this world
With arms wide open

Interview about that Morrison/Burnham joint

also, ITSHAPPENING @ Bru/Phillips do whatever the fuck you want for five years contract

 

[frye]

this is not criminal

 

[Owzers]

Yay for new Synder and Morrison projects. Boo @ them both being horror books.

<---Is not a fan of horror.

I was just going to say that i'm disappointed in all this horror stuff, i hope it's better than just nails being ripped off or other random " oh noes" gore.

 

[slightconfuse]

5 years to Dick around sounds alright to me

 

[KoruptData]

All over Snyders new book about witches. Can't fucking wait.

What are those priest dudes from New Avengers doing in Morrison project?

 

[Messi]

Is FATALE ending a good thing?

 

[doniewhalberg]

I was just going to say that i'm disappointed in all this horror stuff, i hope it's better than just nails being ripped off or other random " oh noes" gore.

Huh? If you look at the big horror books of today, American Vampire, Locke & Key, Fatale, I'm not sure that is really a good characterisation of the genre at the moment.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Wow, I thought Snyder was exclusive to DC/Vertigo

:O

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Marvel Now books look okay, adding a few like Silver Surfer despite gaf hate, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel. She-Hulk, and maybe a couple others.

Image Expo is going to break me.

DC....they still make comics?

I was not expecting Image to drop all these bombs, I might be collecting more Image titles than Marvel soon.

 

[Acid08]

Wow, I thought Snyder was exclusive to DC/Vertigo

:O

Comic superstars do as they please.

ONE DAY RAFA!!!!! YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS!

The only bad part about Nameless is it's only six issues.

 

[Ephidel]

Fantastic. Much better not blurry ^^

There's an interview at ComicsAlliance (which I haven't read yet, but will shortly!)

i watch too many netflix streaming horror movies....you're probably right, i liked all three that you mention.

Snyder says. "I want this book to be the blackest, most twisted horror that I've ever done. I want it to be the book I feel terrible about at my kids' soccer game. I want this book to be like, you read it and say, 'They let this guy write Superman?'" Describing the premise, Snyder says the series will reveal actual witches are "much darker" than what mythology has led people to believe.

That part made me knee-jerk into thinking it was going to be a sick gorefest.

 

[Nova Prime]

Snyder's and Gillen's books interest me most. And 8House too

 

[KoruptData]

Does anything have release dates yet?

 

[B-Dubs]

Snyder and Jock doing a book about witches YEEESSSS

I am beyond sold.

 

[Serpentine]

I'll get Tech Jacket too. I like Khary Randolph, I never seem to see him on things

True enough it is a bit of a *headline quote* from the Snyde but I imagine it'll remain intelligent and what not, he's probably just trying to get ppl hype. I almost listed Sweet Tooth as well. Not sure how many people would agree with me, but a lot of stuff creeped me out in Sweet Tooth and kind of*horrified* me emotionly, how the world could be so cruel etc., but I guess that's bigger than just horror. Point is though, I think we're in safe hands these days, I think a pure gore book would get called out quickly due to a book's peers when you say horror.

 

[Dan]

Does anything have release dates yet?

Outcast - June
Tech Jacket Digital - now
Shutter - April
The Superannuated Man - June
Low - July
C.O.W.L. - May
Restoration - fall

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I gotta pickup that pencil....

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So, no TTOB announcement huh

maybe next year

 

[doniewhalberg]

Wytches is September, add that to the list ( we need an huge list)

 

[Vyer]

Yay for new Synder and Morrison projects. Boo @ them both being horror books.

<---Is not a fan of horror.

Yeah, I kinda agree. Still some nice announcements though.

 

[slightconfuse]

So, no TTOB announcement huh

maybe next year

The editor called his work "Biridie Tier"

 

[Ephidel]

Cover for Ody-C, which is massive, but hopefully the quote tags will fix that

Restoration from Willingham sounded interesting but dropped off the tweets entirely too fast for me to catch much, so I guess I'll have to wait for an interview or so to post more about that.

Snyder's Wytches has a terrible name but is definitely of interest.

Haha, just saw this one:

 

[tim1138]

Forget Birdie and TTOB, I'm waiting for Rafa to break through.

 

[Dan]

Preview of Low

 

[KoruptData]

Guess you can't add these to a pull until they have been solicited. Don't have todo anything drastic now.

 

[Filthy Slug]

Preview of Low

Fantastic. I couldn't stand Toccini after that Uncanny X-force run but I am backing this.

 

[doniewhalberg]

Additionally, Brubaker's past creator-owned books like "Criminal" and "Incognito," originally published by Marvel's Icon line, will now be at Image.

From the CBR blog thing. Crazy. This was so much bigger an announcement than I expected. So many books.

Low looks quick Bioshock-y there.

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

I was hoping for a Southern Bastards release date but it will probably be in the next solicits.

 

[Memento Mori]

Can anyone answer my question? I'm catching up on my Batman and want to know if the Villains Month issues happen within Zero Year continuity or not. It'll help a lot to know how I should be reading these.

Thanks!

The Riddler one is the only Villains Issue even slightly related to Zero Year. It's set in the present day but mentions Zero Year very slightly. You don't have to read it to follow Zero Year but it's a good issue.

 

[KoruptData]

I shall follow Remender to any creator owned book. I slept with my Fear Agent vol 1 library edition last night. Lol.

 

[tim1138]

In the Burnham/Morrison excitement I totally missed the Gillen/McKelvie announcement, a new boom is cool but where's volume 3 of Phonogram?

 

[doniewhalberg]

Top books for everyone then? Mind have to be Wytches, Fade Out, Paradigms & Low. There was a good few there I wouldn't go near either but that's whats best here I think . Lots of BIG announcements and lots of diversity. It would be hard for anyone to read all those announcements and see literally nothing for them.

 

[Dan]

John Layman: Newsarama's coverage of #ImageEXPO is kinda like Fox News' coverage of Chris Christie.

Haha.

In the Burnham/Morrison excitement I totally missed the Gillen/McKelvie announcement, a new boom is cool but where's volume 3 of Phonogram?

McKelvie is doing the 1st and 3rd arcs of The Wicked & The Divine. Between that he's doing Phonogram. More details at the end of this interview: http://comicsalliance.com/the-wicke...n-gillen-interview-jamie-mckelvie-image-expo/
