So Image Expo had there second Convention this year and well with this came some huge announcements. A few I'm not to interested in, but Image to me are fast becoming one publisher I am buying more and more titles from, partnering great creative teams, and the three titles that really caught my eye are as follows;
Black Science from Rick Remender, Matteo Scalera and Dean White. Well if that creative team doesn't get you interested you must be mad, or just a completely different taste in comics. Matteo Scalera has become familiar to me from his most recent work on Indestructible Hulk with Mark Waid, drawing great comics, and possibly one of the best panels of the year with the Hulk/ Daredevil team up everyone had been waiting for from Waid, but thats off topic. From what I've seen of Scalera's work it really seems to me it will suit this obvious Sc-Fi story well. Remender has teased this as being the of sorts successor to his Fear Agent title, I'm currently still ploughing through the first Library edition and waiting on the arrival of the 2nd. But I for one can not wait to get this comic in my hands, and with covers coming from a variety of artists, the stand out for me being Rafael Alberquerque this will be a comic that will stand out on the shelves and hopefully jump into your hands.
Southern Bastards, from the creative team up of Jason Aaron and Jason Latour, having most recently, to my knowledge, worked on the Wolverine Infinite comic they have now teamed up for the own creator owned title. And after reading Sledgehammer '44 I will quite happily say yes to more Jason Latour art. Jason Aaron is currently writing one of the most consistent titles of Marvel NOW in Thor: God of Thunder. I haven't had the opportunity to read up muc on what the comic will actually be about. But the team in its own right has peaked my interest, and unless I find something out about the storyline for this title that I really don't like, then I will most certainly be picking this up and in turn adding it to my pull list.
Finally we have
Deadly Class from, yet again, Rick Remender, where he finds the time for all this with Uncanny Avengers and Captain America titles for Marvel I'm not sure. But working with up and coming artist Wes Craig, who correct me if I am wrong just completed an issue for Adventures of Superman for DC's digital first title and upcoming work on Batman Annual #2 with Scott Snyder, Craig is certainly getting to work with some of the best in the business early on. From a brief read on the title I believe it is based on a school for kids of world famous assassins and crime families. But once again I will read up more on this before the its released, but this will most certainly be joining my pick list also.
Finally it was teased that none other than Mark Millar of Civil War, Ultimates and Kick-Ass fame will be bringing a super hero line to Image to rival that of Marvel's or even be the 21st Century version of Marvel heroes. To be honest with you the only reason I am currently reading Jupiters Legacy is solely for Frank Quitely's art which is also the only reason I don't get irritated with its release only being once every 2 months. This announcement doesn't really excite me much, but come the new year when more will be announced I could well be saying something completely different.
