The latest news on upcoming Image titles and events http://www.imagecomics.com/blog.php If you haven’t seen it yet, new Image partner Robert Kirkman did a video editorial on the benefits of creator-owned comics for CBR. Well worth checking out, if you’re interested in peaking behind the curtain and learning what goes on in the mind of one of Image’s most popular creators.... ericstephenson Wednesday, August 13, 2008 http://www.imagecomics.com/blog.php#7037 You know what I love about Mike Allred? He’s always trying something new, always looking for a new approach to the page, a different way to explore the myriad possibilities our medium has to offer. If you’ve been reading MADMAN ATOMIC COMICS, you already know this about Mike, because just about every issue is a foray into the artistic unknown. In case you haven’t been following the book lately, though, ericstephenson Tuesday, August 12, 2008 http://www.imagecomics.com/blog.php#7030 Preview Night notwithstanding, Comic-Con International 2008 gets underway tomorrow at the San Diego Convention Center. Image Comics will be at booth #2729 all convention long, so if you’re coming out to the show, make sure to stop by. Practically everyone currently publishing with Image right now is going to be at the booth at least a little while and we’ve got some great prints for sales, along with some cool giveaways. And I men... ericstephenson Wednesday, July 23, 2008 http://www.imagecomics.com/blog.php#6853 So, you may have heard that we're debuting a ginormous anthology inspired by the songs of Tori Amos at this year's Comic-Con International in San Diego. If you haven't, we just received copies of the COMIC BOOK TATTOO (available in both hardcover and softcover formats) and let me tell you, it's beyond beautiful. 480 pages of fantabulous that, in its hardcover form could easily be used to stave off attackers. And you'll have to, too, because this book is that awesome. Eve... ericstephenson Tuesday, July 15, 2008 http://www.imagecomics.com/blog.php#6741 With a new issue on the stands soon and a trade paperback in the works, I thought it would be a good time to check in with YOUNGBLOOD writer Joe Casey about the status of Rob Liefeld's superteam going into the second half of 2008. Eric Stephenson: YOUNGBLOOD #4 is out next week. This wraps up the first story arc, right? Joe Casey: More like it brings the first act to a close and preps readers for what's coming next. There's a bigger story being ... ericstephenson Monday, July 14, 2008 http://www.imagecomics.com/blog.php#6695 A few days ago, we announced that THE WALKING DEAD #50 had sold out at the distribution level (which basically means retailers can't order more, but there may still be copies at your local store) and that we were rushing back to press to ensure there were enough copies available to meet demand. Charlie Adlard did a new wraparound cover for the second printing, and I wanted to show that off. Neat, huh?... ericstephenson Thursday, July 10, 2008 http://www.imagecomics.com/blog.php#6663 Since former Image Publisher Erik Larsen still shares an office with me, I thought it might be a good idea to check in with him about how life’s treating him post-day job. Are you ready? Okay, let's go. Eric Stephenson: Now that I've got your old gig, the plan is for you to get back to SAVAGE DRAGON, right? Erik Larsen: Good god – yes. The reason I stepped down from the publishing gig was to get back to the drawing... ericstephenson Wednesday, July 9, 2008 http://www.imagecomics.com/blog.php#6660 Since taking over as Publisher, I’ve received a pretty staggering number of emails asking more or less the same question. That question is this: “Will you be accepting email submissions?” And the short answer is: Yes, we’ll continue to accept submissions for review via email. We prefer receiving email submissions, actually. It’s less trouble for you, it’s less trouble for us; it’s even better for the environment.
