Mate, you have got to be the single LEAST annoying person on the whole of CZcams, in a world where most content creators irritate me to the point where I want to go postal. You seem like someone I could, and would absolutely sit down and have a real conversation with and for me that’s pretty rare. Really love the videos that you guys have been putting up. You seem very genuine and pleasant. I think it’s important to take the time to tell someone when they are doing something right and positive, as opposed to something wrong and negative. Keep it up please, great videos 🙂👍
U are 100% right about Mike- & Matt, too! They have made this channel special by being the genuine, compassionate, empathetic, positive, easy-to-talk-to, & all-around cool guys that they are! And their passion for comics clearly shows. These guys are the real deal, & deserve to be commended for what they bring to their channel. They're the genuine article, & I luv 'em both for it. Thank u for noticing this!😊👍🏻❤
then you don't watch gem mint who is cool no bullshit legit tell how it is omni ever made n issues of the week n the one he pics as #1 as such recent venom #200 of course!
@@thanosdarkseid8695 Sorry bud, I have no idea what that sentence was supposed to say, but thanks for joining in the conversation. I just really like how these guys are down to earth, and don’t seem to have any agenda other than to talk enthusiastically about books, but not in a way where they are trying to tell anyone what they should read, or what they should like. It’s really refreshing.
Homesick Pilots is such an underrated title. The artwork is absolutely incredible. The coloring and lettering absolutely stand out from many other modern titles
this dude's vibes are so fucking right, the second he started talking i started listening, vibe check PASSED. love the channel. i burned through the first volume of fire power instantly before i remembered to finish writing this comment thanks for the awesome recs!
I'm always surprised when I find out somebody didn't like Outcast. If you read it originally month-to-month, maybe I can understand since it's a slow-burn. But it's sooooooo good. If it weren't for Invincible, it would be my favorite Kirkman comic. On another note, as for indie comics, I don't think I've yet read a Vault or AWA title that has disappointed. There's also a ghost voice at 13:24 to 13:28 in the video.
A person favorite of mine from the last few years was Starlight and mantle. I remember randomly getting both and being very surprised at how good they were.
Image had been putting out some of the best titles on the stands...Dept. of Truth is phenomenal, Radiant Black & Geiger have been intriguing so far and Stillwater is pretty good, but I hope it's going somewhere soon. Also check out That Texas Blood, Killadelphia, Decorum and Moonshine.
I really enjoy Stillwater and home sick pilots Yeah chips handling of the series of Stillwater is truly amazing because I never thought I was going to like a serious talking about a town that's actually within a 10 mile radius that makes people immortal and they have to basically keep the secret and someone coming out from the big city discovering the secret and then killing him and then find out he was actually one time a resident of the town that his mother sent him to escape. Even trying to detail all that it's very complex and very interesting to know that there's so many layers to this story it's very complex even when there's a issue mostly focusing on a particular character they have a very unique role to play and interesting backstory it's very astonishing what's being accomplished within that series In homesick pilots my God it's it's really creepy having a creepy old haunted house basically capturing these kids for venturing in there and using them to like capture these other ghosts that have escaped but yet has another alternative motive as well. Crossover is okay I mean I'm slowly getting one over by that series but it's okay
Dope list, my shop sold me on Fire Power and glad they did. Took a shot too on Stillwater and definitely enjoying that series too. I would recommend Silver Coin, Stray Dogs and Family Tree as some fun image books to get into.
Department of Truth too one of my current favorites. If you love conspiracy theories like I do haha. The art does take some getting used to though but once you get passed that definitely a fun series
Ditto on Stillwater and Crossover, great stories! I would also throw Geiger by Geoff Johns & Gary Frank in the mix, only three issues in but off to a great start
Hey, Mike! Damn, bro! As I was watching this video, I was like, "For real?" Lol. Because the first 3 titles u talk about have just popped up on my radar in the last couple of days! And the last 2 are very intriguing! As always, I LUV LUV LUV the way u guys are open & into comics that don't just fit w/in the superhero genre- or, in some cases, any popular genre, for that matter! U know I'm all about "different." Yes, I would say that horror, sci-fi, westerns, vigilante justice, & just straight up weird comics are my favorite genres(and I, personally, include "anthology" as a subgenre w/in any given genre or genres- and not as its own genre; and I also always keep a lookout for comics w/in the aforementioned genres that bring spiritual &/or philosophical aspects along w/them- as well as comics w/strong emotional vibes that make me really feel something... u know what I'm talking about: "the feels!"). But... a comic that is different can fall w/in these favorite categories of mine. And if it doesn't, I'm still all about it, because, imho, it is so much more interesting to sometimes read a comic that takes u places u either haven't been, or wouldn't usually go. I feel that variety is vital- for me, anyways- for comics to be more than entertaining. Entertaining is awesome! But if I'm never exposed to things outside of my "comfort zone," so-to-speak, I don't know if comics would help me grow as a person as much as they would otherwise. So, finding things that are different is always cool to me! So props, my brother, for shining a light on these titles! I would luv to check out all of them at some point! *Right now, my focus is on our beloved & adorable newly adopted little furbaby rescue, Blue. He has had to endure countless vet visits & meds since we adopted him just back on May 15th. Our vets think he has some kind of serious lung problem & internal(heart, abdominal, etc) problem that they haven't been able to figure out w/x-rays, bloodwork, etc. He has an appt w/a specialist coming up on June 19th. Needless to say, we are very worried right now, & are praying it is something that can be treated. But if not, we will still continue giving him whatever meds the vets think he will need to keep him in as much comfort as possible(and obviously continue to shower him w/ALL the luv we have!). We fell head-over-heels in luv w/him immediately when we adopted him. It breaks our heart to know that he has been so brutally abused his whole life, & is now having to fight this health battle. If u & Matt could say a prayer for him, we'd really appreciate it! Thanx, my brothers!🤗 Anyways, great video! All interesting titles I hope to visit in the future! I hope u guys & ur families are all doing well! Much luv!😊👍🏻👍🏻❤
I was gonna work for Dark Horse comics but the only accept team proposals.😠 But it seems Image comics accepts writer-only proposals. I just hope Image is still around after I finish college. 😬

@@kalenberreman8252 it does well enough that the deluxe hardcovers sell pretty good. Plus, Azaceta’s art is really good

I feel like Stillwater is insanely underrated. I found Vol. 1 absolutely riveting

Great list. I’m loving all those titles. I would also recommend The Department of Truth and Inblot. Image is the place to be right now
I really enjoy Stillwater and home sick pilots

Crossover is okay I mean I'm slowly getting one over by that series but it's okay
Also read
decorum
Geiger
Good Asian
Nocterra
Silver coin
Just read Geiger 1 and I fucked with it I’m going to get more tomorrow I also really like crossover
I'm liking Oblivion Song, Geiger, and Department of Truth. I'm pissed they cancelled Outer Darkness!
Still need to check out Geiger! I get the feeling I’ll want to binge it so I’m waiting for at least a dozen issues
It´s a crime Outer Darkness isn´t around anymore , such a fun book.
Look on the bright side, we get a new prequel series to Chew with Outer Darkness being cancelled
Was The Weatherman cancelled? I was enjoying that one as well.
@@TheHardcoverComic Geiger is a six issue mini, for now.
Dope list, my shop sold me on Fire Power and glad they did. Took a shot too on Stillwater and definitely enjoying that series too. I would recommend Silver Coin, Stray Dogs and Family Tree as some fun image books to get into.
Department of Truth too one of my current favorites. If you love conspiracy theories like I do haha. The art does take some getting used to though but once you get passed that definitely a fun series
I've read all of the series except firepower. I've heard nothing but good things about it so I'm gonna give that a shot too
What about “I Hate Fairyland”
Your channel is awesome glad I found it
Ditto on Stillwater and Crossover, great stories! I would also throw Geiger by Geoff Johns & Gary Frank in the mix, only three issues in but off to a great start
Great titles on this list. I really hope we get an OHC of "HaHa."

Great list,I´m also hoping Image puts out hardcovers for Firepower.I´m currently binging Bitter Root and Sea of stars.
No mention of Radiant Black? Fore-shame. In all seriousness, Radiant Black, Geiger, Department of Truth and Shadcraft for me.
Radiant Black is so good! And Geiger has been solid too. What is shadcraft? I haven’t heard of that one yet
Thanks for the recommendations! I've been enjoying Rick Rememder's The Scumbag. Very entertaining
Yes!!! Amazing title - can’t wait for the inevitable extra oversized Hardcover 😆
love u guys
What up Mike?! My indecisive ass could use your opinion! Bloodshot by Lemire or Detective Comics by Tynion?
This is Matt, Detective by Tynion! Both are great don’t get me wrong, but Detective is one of my fav books!
Wish cross over and weather man would get hardcovers
Oh this video was made for me let’s go
Who’s Matt? I always hear about this mysterious guy but never see him.
Check back in 20 mins. New video dropping. Or check out some live shows we’ve done. Always on there.
Def include ‘Utube’ b4 partner R else…
I always wondered is your t shirt tongue in cheek at all?
It is now…but that wasn’t the initial idea when creating the logo. Once we saw it though, we ran with it!

Haha has been a hit and miss title for me. There are some issues I really enjoy but that one issue without any words really put me off of the book
Understandable! At this point I think I’m just biased and think even the worst issue is great 😆
Can I preorder an image comic book online, or do I actually need to go to a comic book store and preorder it their?
Sorry I have never purchased a image comic before and haven’t bought comic books since i was in middle school
Hardcovers and trade paperbacks you should be able to find on OrganicPricedBooks.com, InStockTrades.com, Amazon, on a book store online site, or even order through the image website!
Is the acronym for this channel intentional?...
Just curious
Lol not intentional….but a very happy coincidence.
