Not to worry, because ya boy got your back! Here's my list of the best Image titles for beginners, and I'm sure the comments will be filled with other great recommendations!

    I can definitely recommend Paper Girls, was my top read of 2020 and a really solid series! Might not be for everyone but I loved it.
    Great list Dogg! Still need to check some of these out.

    @CraigGrannell Před 3 lety +8

    Lazarus and Paper Girls are the two I’d add to the mix. Lazarus in particular has superb world building and a great narrative. Paper Girls takes a little time to get going but then barrels along to its conclusion. Both really great strips. Both accessible.

    Woof woof 🐶, all of these picks are timeless classics. If people are sleeping on image comics they’re missing out some of the best stories there are. Good job Marcus for bringing some love to these books they deserve the praise almost as much as you do. Keep it up brother 👌🏻🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Might pick up deadly class after your recommendation. I don’t think you can stress enough how good invincible is, and I’m only on book 8…
    And you should pick up fairyland vol 2! It’s so damn amazing

      Also recently started Invincible and Spawn. I've read the first few Spawn Origins TPBs and I got issue 1 of Invincible on FCBD. Really loving Spawn, thought the first issue of Invincible was pretty interesting, and will be picking up some TPBs or compendium 1 pretty soon.

    Great video mate. I’m currently halfway through the second compendium of invincible and I’m loving it. One image title I’d recommend is The Last Christmas by Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn. It follows Santa as he travels to San Francisco to kill the last kid that believes in him so he can finally die. He ends up having to try and save the kid from zombies. It’s very stupid and so just read it with an open mind haha.

    Here are a couple of (superior) recommendations (JK MD lol:) Southern Bastards- recommended for anyone who likes comics, maybe some people who don't. This is a crime drama, I don't like crime dramas and I'm comfortable calling it one of the best comics of the last 20 years. Try it.
    Lazarus- recommended for fans of intelligent drama or low sci-fi. Rucka is one of the best writers of this generation and he flexes on this book.
    Five Ghosts- recommended for fans of Indiana Jones and similar types of pulp fiction.
    C.O.W.L.- recommended for fans of superheros, crime-noir, or anyone that likes badass comics with great art and writing.

    • @alexcole1527
      @alexcole1527 Před 3 lety +1

      Deadly class will probably get reprints when Deluxe vol 3 comes out I’m guessing. You’ll be waiting years for that Kill or Be Killed though honestly that’s how it usually is with Brubaker. If it even ever does get a reprint. I wouldn’t count on it. I’d honestly buy it now before the aftermarket prices get any more unreasonable.

    • @bharathsundararajan
      @bharathsundararajan Před 3 lety

      I agree with Alex. Kill or Be Killed sold out very quickly and it took me months to find a copy at a decent price. I lucked out when someone was selling their Brubaker collection. So, I scored that and both Fatale volumes for a pretty good price.

      @ComicBound Před 3 lety +3

      That's a pretty easy one, I recommend picking up the IDW collection hardcovers. They go in and out of print but they should always become available again at some point. Book 1 is the very beginning of the story (completely rebooted, no need to read the 80's stuff) and it's a pretty consistently awesome and fun time, at least the parts I have read so far. I'm a bit behind now but I know people are still enjoying it. For most people that read this run, they pretty much agree that it's the definitive version of the turtles. The hardcovers are definitely the most straightforward way to read the series too, since it does a really good job of mapping out the main series and all of the various spin-offs and mini series into the best reading order.

    I enjoyed this video, Marcus. Great work!
    My first foray into Image Comics was Murder Falcon (thanks to my wife). It's a fun read with pretty good magical realism in it. Reflecting now, fans of Donny Cates' God Country or Joe Kelly's I Kill Giants will enjoy it, if you're looking for a heavy metal spin to such stories.
