This Year’s Best Series To Read From Image Comics

Contents

The comic world is often divided between fans of DC Comic and fans of Marvel Comics. However, there have been plenty of other publishers to appear across the landscape over the decades. One of the most noteworthy is Image Comics.

After feeling unsatisfied with working for a bigger company, a handful of writers and artists came together and formed Image in 1992 as a way of giving creators more control over their books and properties. Since then, Image has remained true to its initial mission and continues to put out remarkable creator-controlled comic series.

Take a look at some of this year’s hottest titles from Image. With a little bit of exploration, you’ll easily find a tale that is worth your time.

Two Moons

Writer John Arcudi and artist Valerio Giangiordano collaborate on “Two Moons,” a work of historic fiction set during the Civil War. The story focuses on a young man of Pawnee heritage named Virgil, who serves in the Union Army.

After encountering a shaman, Virgil goes on a journey that helps him reconnect with his indigenous roots and learn more about his place in the bigger picture. Released in the early part of 2021, “Two Moons” tells an unforgettable story that readers find themselves absolutely transfixed by.

Geiger

One of the bigger titles to drop recently through Image Comics is Geiger. This story of what happens to society after nuclear winter has dominated the globe is written by industry staple Geoff Johns and drawn by fan-favorite Gary Frank.
