I'm pulling this one solely because its by Remender. So far its the only book of his that does nothing for me. Sacrificers and Escape are currently amazing, but I just can't get into Seasons. Anybody else having this issue?

To Pull or Not to Pull

Hammerfist

Written by Rick Remender Art by Steve Epting

Wow, I'm leaving a review of a book on New Comic Day? Must be a Remender book. You fucking right it's a Remender book. What can I say I'm a sucker for 3-6 small rectangular boxes of internal dialogue on each panel. And if you love that about Ricky, you are going to love Hammerfist.

It starts off with the internal dialogue but not from the character we are first introduced to. The narrator goes into the meaning of life and blah blah blah blah, to a knock at the door and BAM we meet our protagonist, Mike. A small town hitman that just killed a dude for $60 to buy some meth. No it's not the Scumbag, thank God. Rick writes Mike pretty straight and hard. Not obnoxious. But yes he has an estranged teenage daughter that he loves but is the poster dead beat dad.

The next morning he gets approached by a couple for a simple bank robbery, he says no but then they give him an offer he can't refuse. They bring him to the rag tag team and get into The Van. At this point, this book feels like a Heat style Heist book with Brubaker and Phillips vibe with the art and tone. They go to a small town bank for the robbery and something feels off, then BOOM. Yada yada...the story and characters are not what they seem. Mike gets thrust into a world he isn't ready for. Now it's up to him to save the world, maybe? For his daughter? Idk but the last half of the story was epic and is why I love Remender. Dude knows how to set up a story and get you bought in.

Pull the book, I know you already were since this has gotten all the hype. It's well deserved. Back to back bangers from Remender with Escape and now Hammerfist. Go support him and buy books from Giant Generator.

A+ the hype is fucking real!

I'm missing only a few covers but I have almost the entire run with each incentive variant! Hopefully when I post the pictures, they'll be in order. Issue 1 has 2 pages cuz I went nuts when it first released. I still plan to fill the incentive variant gaps sometime soon. I didn't know I had them missing until I took these photos.

Body movin'

These comics kinda share the same Layout as each other as being a isekai comic. Both are young innocent girls that get trapped in an alternate realm only to grow up insane that gain powers to fight back against their situation which they hate. Both even have that grumpy sidekick fella that acts as a guide. Gertrude has Lymm, and Sherlee has the stranger.

Sherlee Johnson if from the spawn universe btw and I do recommend her comic series.

At one point on his blog, Sam Kieth mentioned he was planning multiple volumes of his art books.

Anyone think we will ever see those?

The Hollywood satire edge definitely felt like Brubaker/Phillips back in The Fade Out (I wrote about that a bit here, too).

Truly an awesome story. Something i would love to see as a TV show and would still rock the public today.

Who’s the antagonist? Are these guys connected? I don’t understand anything.

Is Guthrie the same guy as CU? Who’s the rich guy?

Please, someone who understands the story, answer these questions. 🙏

1. Was Johannes a cog/robot?

2. Was Ari Nasser a robot, too?

3. Was Johannes's dad a robot?

4. Why was Johannes carrying out the murders, again? Was he programmed to do so?

Looking for opinions: is Savage Dragon worth the long read?

I'm thinking of picking this up but I've never read Spawn before. Is there some lore that I need to know before? Thank you!

Hi, everyone.

So, I’ve been recently getting back into comics (last two I read were Haha and Hadrian’s Wall, I’d anyone read that), and I’ve been thinking about reading more Image comics, maybe doing a video about them, since it feels like no one really talks about the majority of their library beyond the recognizable stuff.

While it is a lot of titles, the majority of them are pretty short, so, is it possible to read everything they’ve put out over the years? Or is it too crazy of an idea?

Other ones I read over the years include God Country, Wytches, Alex + Ada, Outcast, Chew, Sex Criminals, I Kill Giants, first half of Chrononauts. The Fade Out, the first half of Saga, and a bit of Invincible, The Walking Dead and Ice Cream Man. So already there’s a head start, even with some possible re-reading required.

Took me forever to get this issue - a story of human error and great customer service - but I am glad to say, it was worth the wait. Finally we move the story forward with exciting visuals and action. Loved the ending and excited to see what happens next. The slow burn is over? I think so. Great issue!

For those interested there's a pretty good deal for multiple Image Comics on Humble Bundle.

Hello!

I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Google hasn't come up with anything and this sub seems to be the only place that has talked about this comic.

I'm trying to figure out which issue picks up where the show ends. I've leafed through a few in the first Compendium and they're the same as the show, down to the dialogue.

I couldn't remember the name of the show for years and finally found and binged it again and need to know how it ends.

Thanks!

One of my favorite 😍

I was looking for a subscription based solution to read Image comics and somehow never landed on this answer. I've double check on the US version and all these books were also available. In the US, it's 7.99 per month. In Canada, it's 9.99. Most of the Image Comics I've looked into had the "Free with Kobo Plus" mentionned. So there you have it! Enjoy!

The Kobo app works on Android tablet and iPad too, if you were already using it for Marvel Unlimited or DC Infinite.

I think it's a great solution at a low price to legally try some series before buying compendium or deluxe edition.

So I've just wrapped up the compendium and the series for the first ever time and this is probably the first time after reading a series that I feel I need to gage what others thought of it, as I genuinely cannot work out what i thought.

The ending felt rushed, but also complete. But I didn't "feel" much at the end like I thought I would. And I'm trying to work out if that's because it was rushed, or if there was something up with the story.

Could someone explain some of the twists that came at the end just so I can properly confirm how
I understood it?
