To be honest, the Image website is pretty weak. Here's what I'm so excited about: https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/03/02/bleeding-cool-talks-matt-wagner-mage-hero-denied-final-chapter-announced-image-comics-eccc-2017.
mykola 🙃🌎🤘@telemachus neat, was not familiar with this but it sounds fascinating!
@mykola I have mostly given up on comics, but I still have a soft spot for Mage and Love and Rockets.
@mykola Mage is a beautiful little exploration of heroism. Some bits, especially in the first series, are dated. Especially some portrayals of black characters. But excellent in many ways.
@mykola I don't recall, btw, are you a comics person? Not sure if we ever spoke about that one way or the other.
@telemachus I loved me some Alan Moore Neil Gaiman etc 90s vertigo but I haven't kept up on anything recently. Kurt Busiek was great. Grant Morrison. I have a bunch of trades. Warren Ellis. But not an active fan nowadays I guess?
@mykola Sounds about right, and you're about 10 years later than my high point (also about right, given our ages!). Two recs if you're ever bored: https://www.amazon.com/Mage-HC-Vol-Hero-Discovered/dp/1607063204/ and https://www.amazon.com/Girl-H-O-P-P-E-R-S-Rockets-Library-Locas-ebook/dp/B013XRZB96/ (especially Death of Speedy)
@mykola Now that I think of it, you might like Gilbert Hernandez' work more than his Jaimie's. Lots of magical realism and surrealism: https://www.amazon.com/Heartbreak-Soup-Rockets-Gilbert-Hernandez/dp/1560977833. (His recent stuff is more and more abstract and unnaturalistic.)
@mykola Whoops: that is "more than his brother, Jaime's", but you probably figured that out.
@telemachus are they the lov and rockets creators?
@mykola Yes, sorry. Some more information here http://www.fantagraphics.com/series/loveandrockets/ and here http://www.fantagraphics.com/howtoreadloveandrockets. But I tend to recommend skipping the first volume of Jaime's work.
