There’s 9 issues thus far, all free to read and it’s featuring a very foxy crew as you might gather from the name. I’m pretty impressed [...]

Image Comics, As Big As They Wanna Be?
April 5th, 2008 by Eblison
In 1992, there was upset in the industry of comic books. Seven of the biggest artists in the field formed Image Comics, with its fully “creator owned” line-up.
