PROPHET and LAZARUS and DEADLY CLASS Oh My!
There is simply no denying how influential and amazing Image Comics is these days rivaling the powerhouses that are Marvel and DC. Between books like SAGA, THE WALKING DEAD, and INVINCIBLE there is likely a quality book out there for any type of dedicated reader or newcomer alike. And the past few years have seen the rise of even more quality books to dive into. And better yet, this week features the release of 3 such books in collected volumes in the form of PROPHET Volume 4, LAZARUS Volume 3, and DEADLY CLASS Volume 4. This is a very good week to be a comic nerd. Take a look at what Image has to offer and I can personally recommend each and every one of these titles without question.
