Whenever someone is curiously browsing the shop or asking me “so what’s good?”, I almost always lead them to a book by Image. We are in a golden age for the company and they are seemingly jamming out classic after classic. And this week is one of those weeks when we are reminded why Image is so great. Take a look at some of the offerings on shelves this week if you don’t believe me.

SAGA #37 / Written by Brian K. Vaughan, Art from Fiona Staples

NEW STORY ARC ‘THE WAR FOR PHANG,’ PART ONE SAGA is back with its most epic storyline yet, and to celebrate, FIONA STAPLES graces this issue with a gorgeous wraparound cover! Finally reunited with her ever-expanding family, Hazel travels to a war-torn comet that Wreath and Landfall have been battling over for ages. This arc is a self-contained 'event’ we’ve been building to since our very first issue, so now is the perfect time for readers who love SAGA’s bestselling collections to join our monthly adventures!

-JUPITER’S LEGACY 2 #3 / Written by Mark Millar, Art from Frank Quitely

The world’s greatest superhuman is back. Hutch and the gang have tracked him down to a secret hide-out in northern Russia where the ageing super-villain has become a bitter loner. With Walter Sampson’s league of super-villains taking over the planet, can a world crisis haul this legend out of retirement, or must the gang face the bad guys alone?

-EAST OF WEST #29 / Written by Jonathan Hickman, Art from Nick Dragotta

'PRODIGAL’ At long last, Death finds his son.

-LAZARUS #24 / Written by Greg Rucka, Art from Michael Lark

'CULL,’ Part Three Forever gets schooled. Sonja gets revenge.

-TOKYO GHOST #10 / Written by Rick Remender, Art by Sean Murphy

MINISERIES FINALE The final confrontation for the future of mankind is here. It’s Debbie Decay, Mother Nature’s own samurai savior, vs Davey Trauma, the Living Singularity. Critically-acclaimed creators RICK REMENDER and SEAN GORDON MURPHY wrap up their tale of tech addiction, unintended consequences, and love in a world populated by the disenfranchised and isolated.

And those are just the highlights from Image’s offerings this week. Not caught up on all these series’ just yet? Don’t fret, it’s real easy to catch up on an Image book because their TPB collections come out very quick and most Volume 1′s are only $9.99. So yeah, this is a pretty great week to be an Image and comic book fan. Get to the shop and find your new favorite book!
