IMAGE just had a slate of new announcements at their ECCC panel, so here they are;
>Joe Casey announces THE NEW LIEUTENANTS OF METAL with Ulises Farinas. It takes inspiration from the early days of Image comics when the comics were “gloriously incomprehensible” in a good way and he hopes they can capture that spirit. Out later this year.

>Justin Jordan has THE DEATH OF LOVE. A 5 issue series with Donal DeLay, with colors by Felipe Sobreiro and letters by Rachel Deering. The main character can see Cupid’s arrow and declares war on love. The series will have Cupids and chainsaws. Out in the Fall.
>Morgan Beem is a new artist with Justin Jordan on THE FAMILY TRADE. The basic idea is cyberpunk/ ocean punk. It’s fun – as the youngest member of the clan gets in trouble. Hand-painted with watercolor, it’s about a patchwork city floating in the ocean.
Joseph Keatinge and Wool Jin Clark‘s new comic is called FLAVOR. In a world where culinary arts are the main industry. They started plotting the book at the last ECCC. Owen Gieni on colours, Ariana Maher on letters and Ali Bouzari as a culinary consultant and as also a “food scientist”. For the fall – or the harvest.
>"It's like Hunger Games w/o the 'hunger"
>SLEEPLESS is the new comic written by Sarah Vaughn with art from Leila Del Duca and edited and coloured by Alissa Sallah. With a princess, the daughter of the dead king protected by a knight that doesn’t need to sleep. A historical romance fantasy with a diverse cast, it’s set in a world inspired by 15th century Morocco where guards can never sleep because of the people they are sworn to protect.
All the descriptions are live notes from Bleeding Cool btw, not official solicits
>Jordie Bellaire writing and colouring with Vanessa del Rey drawing and Fonografiks lettering, they have a new comic together called REDLANDS… about a town called Redlands and the corruption within – specifically corrupt police cops who are also witches. Redlands is a fictionalised version of a real place that contains everything Bellaire is most upset about, corruption, misogyny and the patriarchy… and a comic for those who “like sex, like weirdness, like horror, if you’re upset about the way the government and criminal justice system works…”
Are you a shill?
>Jody Leheup and Sebastian Girner, who have edited for Marvel, Valiant as well as Image comics, are now writing comics with SHIRTLESS BEAR FIGHTER, the greatest comic about punching bears in the face ever made. It’s a fight comic, obviously. It’s about a guy who’s very angry and needs to change if he’s going to save his loved ones. Art by Neil Vendrell, colours by Mike Spicer and letters by Dave Lanphear. They wanted the comic to look like a cartoon or comic that you might see in the background of an action film. The main character will be shirtless, as you may guess, and is the “angriest man in comics”. He only wears pants because they can’t have a “super naked wild dude on the cover”, even if he is all heart. It’s supposed to make you laugh, and it’s silly, with 22 pages of gritted teeth and flexing per issue, they laughed. When bears start attacking major cities, which they do, “Shirtless” will be needed.
>Doug Wagner, Kevin Gardner and Nick Rummel have a new comic called THE HARD PLACE. With Aj, the main character, fresh out jail who gets caught up in a robbery. A 5-issue series, already fully inked.
Fuck off newfag
>Ales Kot has a new series with Andre Lima Araujo, GENERATION GONE. About a couple in a toxic relationship who get superpowers after they decide to rob a bank… Unbreakable meets Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Coloured by Chris O’Halloran, with Clayton Cowles on letters and Tom Muller on design. Out in July.
>And Kot has another book with Tradd Moore, THE NEW WORLD, set in a future California after a second Civil War. The wall still remains between Califonia and Mexico, and an earthquake destroyed Los Angeles, now rebuilt as New Los Angeles. A Mad Max and Romeo and Juliet to the tune of Teenage Kicks and, according to Kot, Moore’s finest work to date. Also coloured by Jordie Bellaire, lettered by Clayton Cowles, design by Tom Muller.
>Bleeding Cool has already reported Matt Wagner‘s third and final chapter MAGE - THE HERO DEFINGED – and it’s being coloured by his son. He will publish a bridge to new series, a #0 issue at San Diego Comic Con and then a new first issue in August, and a fifteen issue run to conclude the comic with a double sized issue.
>SAVAGE TOWN is a new comic by Declan Shalvey with Phillip Barrett. A crime story in Ireland. Rejected titles were Pretty Deadly Cass and Southern Irish Bastards. Told all in Irish slang, it may be unreadable.
It will be a graphic novel starring Jimmy Savage, a small time criminal and Blackie, the only black man in town. Coming in the fall.
>Bleeding Cool has reported elsewhere SACRED CREATURES, by Pablo Raimondi and Klaus Janson. 6 issue series, beginning with huge 1st issue, and 35 pages for each next one. With 3 covers for each issue, one from Pablo, one from Janson and one from Frank Miller. A thriller with supernatural creatures about to launch their ultimate plan. Pablo on present parts, Janson on the past. Coming in July.
I take that as a yes.
>Grace Ellis and Shae Beagle have a new series MOONSTRUCK, which started as a five page school project. And now a five issue series starting in July, with contributions by Kate Leth. A fantastical world in which a main character becomes a werewolf when mad. With a best friend, a centaur named Chet. “This book is very gay” says Grace Ellis….
Fuck off Sup Forums. Go cry about your shill boogeyman in your own board.
>Jeff Lemire announces FAMILY TREE via video, "Mystery, action & Cronenbergian body horror"
You sound mad
Bwahahahahaha!
Oh cool a bunch of books that'll get six issues over the next 5 years, if they get published at all
That's all the announcements. Will post accompanying interviews, previews and shit now
FAMILY TREE
>Bestselling, award-winning Jeff Lemire (ROYAL CITY, DESCENDER, Sweet Tooth) and Phil Hester (Shipwreck, Green Arrow) come together for FAMILY TREE.
>When an eight-year-old girl literally begins to transform into a tree, her single Mom, troubled brother and possibly insane Grandfather embark on a bizarre, and heart-wrenching odyssey across the back roads of America desperately searching for a way to cure to her horrifying transformation before it’s too late.
>But the further they get from home, and the closer the girl gets to completely losing her humanity, the more external forces threaten to tear the family apart as fanatical cults, mercenaries and and tabloid Paparazzi close in. determined to destroy the girl or use her for themselves.
>A new genre-defying ongoing series The Family Tree will combine mystery, action and Cronenbergian body horror into an epic story about the lengths a Mother will go to keep her children safe in the face of an increasingly unstable world and unspeakable horrors.
>FAMILY TREE will launch this Fall 2017 from Image Comics.
Sooo... who's on art?
And this fuckers schedule is damned full. Writing/drawing one. Writing two more indies. And doesn't he have some Marvel and Valiant work?
I stopped getting hyped for image books because of the delays with the ones I'm already buying.
>Hester
Three issues and eternal delays and then nothing ever again.
Fuck I miss Firebreather.
Here's an interview and preview of SAVAGE TOWN with Declan Shalvey;
Literally just posted it above you m8
Did he leave Shipwrecked?
Why would I be mad? I was just asking if you were a shill posting all this shit in a shill-like manner. The fact you're so overly aggressive honestly makes me think you're someone from image's marketing department sent here to shill news.
I was already responding so I didn't see that. Whoops. Both are me anyway.
I don't know anything about Shipwrecked. I'm honestly just still annoyed that Firebreather disappeared when I was really enjoying that book. It was only a mini too.
Thanks OP.
god forbid someone posts about new series that just got announced by a publisher
Do you really think I would admit to being a shill, even if I were one? You clearly don't even understand how Image works, because the creators themselves are the ones in charge of most of the marketing
Fuck off back to Sup Forums

Image is the worst company ever. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE sounds like the most hipster shit ever.
Might be good if Casey isn't up his own ass like always
Meh
I like cyberpunk, but meh
I like comics that aren't about your usual fantasy/sci-fi/not-superheroes shit, so I may check it out
Meh
Sounds terrible
More quirky "ironic" shit. Fuck off
Actually sounds kind of cool, even if I have no idea who the creative team are
>Kot
Eugh
Oh, great, Moore wasted once again...
Best announcement of the lot, easily
Eh
Sounds boring
Sounds fucking horrible
Kind of generic sounding, might be good though
All in all, pretty underwhelming stuff, I think they're saving their big guns for Image Expo or SDCC
Fuck, I meant to finish that sentence with "except for Mage".
No, that's Boom
Kill yourself, senpai.
There was a time I was hyped for Image #1's
Why are you acting like they went down the shitter like Marvel? I mean yeah, most of these do sound either boring or terrible, but that doesn't mean they're incapable of producing any more good comics. I swear Sup Forums has the most hyperbolic posters out there.
I want to see more of the art, but I'm down for a food based comic. Keatinge is mostly solid as a writer
This is he only one that sounds any good. rest are shit.
>Image Expo
Are they having one this year?
20 years later, wtf is this shit Matt?
20 years for real jeeeeez
20 fucking years
Not this year but 2018, was announced at the same panel
Fuck. I'm torn. I absolutely love Moore, but Kot can suck a dick. Especially with that premise.
>Why are you acting like they went down the shitter like Marvel?
>I swear Sup Forums has the most hyperbolic posters out there.
The irony
You're not a fan of Matt Wagner, or you just don't know who he is?
>Mage
>shit
Get a load of this casual.
I'll believe it when I see it.
The Storytimes of pain will be glorious with this one
Nice try
Couldn't help reading this in the Mighty No. 9 trailer voice
Couldn't she have just stayed at Boom?
They confirmed Korra and Asami will kiss twice in the comics.
Incoming shitstorm.
>Jordie Bellaire writing
Oh dear
None of these books sound all that interesting at first blush, but it's impossible to judge the quality of a book on its elevator pitch alone. As always, I'll keep my ear to the ground on new Image books as they hit shops.
On that note, definitely check out Extremity #1 if you haven't. It's fucking awesome.
Oh shit he's not dead?
So are we taking bets which one of these will actually come out?
Nowadays Lemire writes a bunch or all of a book at and then publishes it
He doesn't just be one or issues ahead anymore
Hell he said he finds it difficult to keep with monthlies and won't be doing them anymore
Haven't read the first two parts, but looks interesting. I'll have to pick up the trades they're putting out.
Looks like it could be good. I like Shalvey's art. Probably pick up the trades.
Could be cool. Wonder what the price will be.
Nothing else is worth acknowledging.
Shipwrecked is ending at #6
Family tree is the only interesting thing to come out of this(excluding Mage off course)
I hate these x movie meets y movie solicits. Sounds unoriginal as Fuck and reason I don't ever pick up anything from Black Mask.
Holy shit, you're a fucking idiot.
>Declan Shalvey
Man, I remember when he was white-hot coming off his Moon Knight run with Warren Ellis.
Did Injection ever find its legs? I remember reading the first issue or two and being supremely disappointed.
Comics are the most hipster shit ever. That bear punching comic does sound pretty awful though.
Holy shit I've been waiting gor so long
it's been on hiatus.
Here's another fuck you, for posterity.
Capeshit readers must be banned from this board.
Image is capeshit tier.
Casey has more "upcoming" project than anyone lol
That sounds awful, but Moore's drawing it so I guess I'm reading it
