I can't wait to see the preview pages that were mentioned. Remender and Murphy are going to be a killer team.

From CBR:

Eric Stephenson: Comics based on movies, toys or video games are "not the future of comics.” #ImageEXPO

That's IDW, right?

A great team. Can't wait.

I really like that cover. I already know I'm going to love this.

 

[zeeaykay]

I hope Murphy has gotten better at differentiating the looks of his faces, females in particular.

How much Remender is too much Remender?

A Rich Johnston crappy pic of Sean Murphy's art for Tokyo Ghost:

So good. And Hollingsworth is coloring, too. Awesome.

Edit: That motorcycle is totally named "Zeus Dick"

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

I can't guise I can't

 

[Kipp]

I can't guise I can't

Goodness gracious. Murphy is nuts.

 

[tim1138]

I can't guise I can't

I don't even care what the story is about, I'm buying this for Sean Murphy.

 

[Kikarian]

I can't guise I can't

I want.





Now!

 

[Kipp]

Oh my:

"Do you guys like Hellboy and BPRD?" Stephenson asked. John Arcudi and James Harren are doing a book called Rumble, described as "a scarecrow Conan fighting in a world like Louie as directed by David Fincher."

That last part especially, "in a world like Louie as directed by David Fincher," has me super hyped.

 

[Messi]

I can't guise I can't

Why does that lady have to be so scandalously dressed? has she no morals?

 

[Pie and Beans]

Pie and Beans versus ComicGAF: I didn't like Black Science. Hopefully Tokyo Ghost is not "kill people for shallow emotional slanted story" Remender and the good kind of Remender.

Also, how do I get Dan Slott off of Spider-Man? I had a flick to see this Silk character bullshit. He's plumbing new depths when I thought he'd already gone through bedrock. What devil-deal must I make?

 

[Future Foundation]

I can't guise I can't

So, how many books is this for Remender total? Six, counting his Marvel work?

 

[tim1138]

Ray Fawkes has an Image book coming out called Intersect:

Ray Fawkes joined Stephenson on stage, calling Image likely the only company not afraid to print his new series, "Intersect." Fawkes said it's like "if all of 'Twin Peaks' happened within the Black Lodge," and described it as a "very Lynch, very Cronenberg, body-focused story." Fawkes is writing and painting the series. "Intersects" starts in November, and it's the first Image series for the "Batman Eternal" co-writer, but Stephenson said it's the first of a couple projects Fawkes has in the works at the publisher.

 

[slightconfuse]

Remender and Murphy. Christmas came early

Holy shit

 

[Kipp]

Why does that lady have to be so scandalously dressed? has she no morals?

Murphy is destroying the legitimacy of comics one cleavage at a time. It's disgusting.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

You have to sacrifice your marriage

 

[Zombine]

OH MY GOD YES. I can't even function. Murphy is my favorite artist. This book is so full of win I can't even calm myself.

Also, leave it to James Stokoe to save Marvel 100th. Really loved that issue.

 

[Messi]

Its tasteless, someone should give her a leather jacket and some pants.

Don't do this to me Grant

[Kipp]

Next were Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko, who have collaborated on Planet of the Apes and Star Wars for other publishers. The pair are working on a couple of things for Image, including a collection of Hardman's digital-first book Kinski, a "comedy drama about a guy who steals a puppy, and all of the terrible consequences that befall him after that."

Lol. I haven't heard of either of those creators, but I love the sound of that premise.

 

[Dan]

Remender wants all of our money.

Sold!

"No matter what anyone else says, or how offended anyone gets, I'll never back down from the position that comic books are more than just marketing materials for movies, toys, and video games,"

But... how does Mark Millar fit into that? [/snark]

Will you accept a deal with the devil? Would you take Queen Nocenti writing your beloved Spider-man?

 

[Kipp]

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/07/23/grant-morrison-to-return-to-spawn-we-find-out-very-shortly/

Ehhhhhh. That's probably the comic I'd least want Morrison on, but I'm sure he'd do something interesting with it.

 

[slightconfuse]

Lol. I haven't heard of either of those creators, but I love the sound of that premise.

Hardman worked with Jeff Parker a lot Also did story boarding for inception and other movies

 

[tim1138]

Invisible Republic sounds pretty cool

Invisible Republic is co-written by the duo and drawn by Hardman. "It's a secret history of the rise to power of a revolutionary hero off on some little planet a long way away in the future. It's all told through the point of view of his female cousin who was expunged from history because she knew too much," he described. "This is her memoir that lays out her complicated history that no one ever knew." Bechko said that every stage is done together when they collaborate. Invisible Republic is planned as an ongoing series with five-issue arcs. "It's a passion project for us," said Hardman. "We've been spending years thinking about it and working on it. It's a huge opportunity to do something that's 100% ours."

 

[Serpentine]

yeah, snark or no snark, Image does keep publishing whatever movie pitch Millar shits out

Lol. I haven't heard of either of those creators, but I love the sound of that premise.

Gabriel Hardman's good. Had some runs on Red Hulk, Secret Avengers, and the new Star Wars Legacy. He's storyboarded films too, worked with Chris Nolan a few times I believe.

Invisible Republic sounds pretty cool

Aw yeah. Glad to see them do something like this. Star Wars Legacy was pretty cool but I didn't care about that universe as a whole

 

[GrandHarrier]

I kind of don't like it when people describe something by saying its like someone elses thing. I realize it's meant to very quickly give you an idea what it is about but it makes it seem derivative right out of the gate.

 

[Sadist]

So, uh, Amazing Spider-Man #4...

well that happened

 

[Messi]

I kind of don't like it when people describe something by saying its like someone elses thing. I realize it's meant to very quickly give you an idea what it is about but it makes it seem derivative right out of the gate.

Oh wow! That's great art.

Agreed. I'm especially tired of "[blank] meets [blank]," moreso when people use it to describe their own stuff. Doesn't do much to draw away from the thought that a lot of people in indie comics just write pitches rather than actual stories.

Jeff Lemire has an Image book in the works

Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen -- both DC Comics mainstays in recent years -- enter the presentation to talk "Descender," about "a boy robot on the run from pretty much everyone." Nguyen is water-coloring the series.

was thinking this too since it's so prevalent in this Image panel. The last time i remember a description i agreed with was Morning Glories being like Lost meets Breakfast Club.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Pie and Beans versus ComicGAF: I didn't like Black Science. Hopefully Tokyo Ghost is not "kill people for shallow emotional slanted story" Remender and the good kind of Remender.

I have no idea how you see that in Black Science. There haven't been a lot of deaths in the series yet, and the ones we've seen have all been an integral part of advancing the storyline. Black Science isn't Game of Thrones shock value deaths.

I'm hyped for this new book. How does Remender put out so many comics in a given month? I guess he's striking while the iron is hot, since popularity waxes and wanes.

This post is like something Zombine would write.

LOL. Well played.

Jeff Lemire has an Image book in the works

Nguyen doing full watercolors? FUCK YEAH. Love his washed out stuff

Jeff Lemire has an Image book in the works

Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Trillium, Animal Man) and Dustin Nguyen (Batman, Little Gotham, American Vampire) team up to bring a brand new monthly science fiction series to Image Comics in March 2015 about one young robot’s struggle to stay alive in a universe where all androids have been outlawed and bounty hunters lurk on every planet.

Ten years ago massive, planet-sized robots called “The Harvesters” materialized without warning and invaded the orbits of all the United Galactic Council’s worlds, wiping out entire planets and civilizations before disappearing again. In a fear-fueled response to this machine holocaust, the galaxy blamed millions of robotic companions, whom they suspected of somehow spawning The Harvesters. All robots and androids were immediately outlawed and ruthless bounty hunters called Scrappers were charged with scouring the universe for any surviving robots.

An incredibly life-like artificial boy, TIM-21 may hold the secrets to the origin of The Harvesters deep in his machine DNA—and as a result is the most-wanted robot in the universe. With only his small pet-bot Bandit and the lumbering mining droid Driller at his side, TIM-21 goes on the run. Before long the entire galaxy is looking for this rag-tag group of unlikely companions, as they make their way from one exotic planet to the next with new foes advancing on them at every turn.

“I’m incredibly excited to bring Descender to Image Comics with Dustin Nguyen. Descender is a huge sprawling sci-fi epic, full of mystery and adventure, but at its heart it’s also the story of a little boy looking for a home in a universe that hates and fears him.”

“It’s a real thrill to finally have Jeff doing something at Image,” said Eric Stephenson, Publisher at Image Comics. “We had the opportunity to work with him at the very beginning of his career and kind of flubbed it, so after watching the rest of world fall in love with his work in the years since, it’s really great to have a second shot at working with such a wonderful and unique talent. The fact that he’s bringing an artist as insanely talented as Dustin with him just makes it even better!”

A rip-roaring and heart-felt cosmic odyssey, DESCENDER will pit humanity against machine, and world against world, to create a sprawling space opera from Image Comics this March 2015.

 

[Kikarian]

YES YES YES YES

 

[Messi]

Nothing for me thus far from the new image books. Hoping for something more my level soon.

 

[Rastafarian42]

How was Lemire's run on Animal Man I heard good things and his new series sounds intriguing plus Nguyen... my god Image gets the best talent for their books.

 

[Zombine]

Oh my god Velvet. This fucking book. It's truly perfect. Brubaker has mastered his craft and this book is the payout. Velvet makes James Bond look like an amateur.

And now we're getting a Steve McQueen-esque cover for the next issue? Book is firing on all cylinders for me.

 

[tim1138]

The only bad this is all these books are so far away... there's still stuff from the last Image Expo that hasn't released yet (Bitch Planet, Nameless).

 

[Owzers]

Reminds me of that movie A.I.

No teddy bear, no buy.

 

[tim1138]

How was Lemire's run on Animal Man I heard good things and his new series sounds intriguing plus Nguyen... my god Image gets the best talent for their books.

Started AMAZING (first 6 issues with Travel Foreman) coasted for a bit, was terrible during RotWorld, and then picked up to be pretty good again in the final run to the end.

 

[Messi]

Oh my god Velvet. This fucking book. It's truly perfect. Brubaker has mastered his craft and this book is the payout. Velvet makes James Bond look like an amateur.

I love that feeling when a book has just clicked with you and everything about it is just hitting you page after page of awesomeness. Its how I feel about every issue of SAGA. its a nice feeling.
