Image Comics has announced a new anthology maxiseries called Image! is launching April 13th to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Edited by Eric Stephenson, the anthology will feature ongoing and standalone short stories in its planned 12 issue run.
Geoff Johns and Andrea Mutti will collaborate on “The Blizzard” which is a 12-part story. Multiple three-parters include: “Gospel for a New Century” by Wyatt Kennedy and Luana Vecchio, “Hopeless” by Mirka Andolfo, and “Shift” by Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo. Readers will also be treated to an exclusive first look at Declan Shalvey’s upcoming Old Dog series, an original ongoing comic strip by Skottie Young, and more.
“There’s no better testament to what Image is all about than the incredible talent we work with, so an anthology featuring an amazing assortment of those artists, writers, colorists, and letterers seemed like a no-brainer,” said Stephenson. “We literally would not exist without the creators we publish, and Image! is a celebration of their unbridled creativity.”
