Okay I'm going to say it: Robert Kirkman IS the Geoff Johns of Image Comic. You could give this guy ANY comic and he can turn it into gold.

I'm currently reading Brit Vol. 1 and I'm loving it.

Give him Youngblood. I want to see someone, ANYONE, try to turn that plate of hot mess into gold.

Okay, just finished reading Brit and Kirkman did a great job. This book is a violent awesome blast to read and I'm beginning to like the character of Brit.

I need to buy the second paper back of Haunt soon. I really enjoy the comics so far and I think it could be the next Spawn but I doubt it.

Other than HACK/slash, written by Tim Seeley, the only other Image book I'm reading at the moment is Top Cow's ARTIFACTS, written by Ron Marz and being pencilled by WETWORKS creator While Portacio sstarting with issue five. It's really kicked into high gear with longtime favorite CyberForce being tricked into joining the mayhem against the Artifact Bearers(the Darkness, Witchblade, Angelus, Magdalena, Tom Judge & Necromancer).

So I just watch Linkara's review of Spawn #1. It's not a bad video and it was pretty funny too (Not as funny as his other videos). I don't get how you can be a fan of something if you never read it? That would be like being a Godzilla fan but never watching any of the movies? He forgot to mention on how huge and popular Spawn was in the 90's, pretty much anyone around those times knew who he was. He was just big as Pokemon from 1992-1997.

Spawns MASSIVE popularity died after issue 10. Just like most Image Comics from 1992 on, most didnt see life past issue 10. A few exceptions exist - like WildCATs and Savage Dragon. The main problem was delays in new issues and horrible writing. Proof artists cant write as well as they draw.

[Hellspawn28]

Spawn's massive popularity died after the 90's when Issue #100 came out, after #100 then series started to go down hill a bit. He somewhat became popular again when Todd return to Spawn in 2008 which did not last long since Endgame got mixed reviews. Spawn has not been popular with the man stream audience since 2003 when Namco had the rights to the series.

He is popular but not as much as he used to be (Issue #200 was one of the best selling books in January 2011), and I doubt he will again anytime soon.

[mecha-gino]

Sorry but I'm calling bullshit on Spawn being as popular as Pokemon during the 90's because if that was the case I would of seen plenty of jokes/parodies on old popular sitcoms/talkshows.

I'm kind of surprised 200 made #4 for top 100 comics of january.

HS - I lived through the Comic Boom. Spawn's popularity died after issue 8 when it was plagued with delays. By issue 100, no one cared about it anymore.

I still wonder if there is any comics from Image that Linkara likes? I still wonder if he likes Savage Dragon or not?

He has said he doesn't hate image and that's about it. I don't know if he's read any image books but he does say he needs to read stuff like invincible, speaking of which I need to jump on to that series again soon and we got a new ultimate collection that's 20 bucks on amazon.

I wonder if he ever noticed the mistake he made when mentioning the Obama comic craze saying how Spider-man did it and other books including Savage dragon tried to emulate it's sucess even though Savage Dragon came out a good 3 or more months before that issue. I even posted he made a mistake about that and haven't gotten a reply yet. Savage Dragon is another series I need to get back to reading.

[Hellspawn28]

I stop reading Invincible around Issue 60 (I think) where Nolan was in some type of jail. What is the ultimate collection BTW?

Basically they're these nice hardcovers that have about 12 issues or 11(sometimes 10), some art(one of which was a lolzy sketch of Superman), and some Kirkman talking about the series or something like that. The nice thing about them is, they retail at 34.99 and they're 20 bucks on amazon.

[Hellspawn28]

So I hear they are ending Haunt after the 16th issue? I'm not sure if this is true or not because I'm somewhat piss off about the news since I really the comic is going and the comic reminds me of most older anime/manga characters (Like Devilman). I think it's one of my favorite recent titles from Image in the past few years next to Proof.

Capullo and Kirkman are leaving the title. This could end it or just end it as you know it. More then likely it'll go on hiatus. This happened ALOT with Indy brands.

[mecha-gino]

You forgot invincible Hellspawn.

But issue 16? I thought they were WAAAAAY passed that but I guess that's what you get with Todd doing the art. ):< And that same reason is why Image United is STILL not completed and we can't properly judge it yet!

There's this one series Image has, I forget what it's called but it's sort of like their FF but more mystical elements. If I remember what it's called, I'll post it here.

[Hellspawn28]

Image United is still not finished because it's crap. I don't know how they can finish it with Omega Spawn gone since he was pretty much set up as the main villain.
