New for Patrons: Guide to Pitt by Dale Keown
My Indie Comics month continues with another new guide for all Patrons of CK. Image’s first year was mostly focused on titles from its six co-founders and their imprints, but as their launch continued into 1993 other Big Two refugees launched their own independent titles under Image’s umbrella. This was the first major one, although it was also one of the Image titles most plagued by delays: Guide to Pitt by Dale Keown!

Cyberforce – Definitive Collecting Guide and Reading Order
New for Patrons: Guide to Supreme
Yes, it’s more of my Indie Comics Month! This new guide for all Patrons of CK is for one of Image Comics’ most-acclaimed titles of the 90, and here’s the shocker: it came from the mind of Rob Liefeld! Of course, the acclaim came much later, when Alan Moore arrived to transform Liefeld’s character. Read all about it in my Guide to Supreme!
No one was more surprised than me to learn that Rob Liefeld’s steroidal Superman riff turned into an Eisner Award winning comic only a year after I gave up my 90s comics addiction! [Read more…] about New for Patrons: Guide to Supreme
New For Patrons: Guide to Codename Strykeforce
My Indie Comics Month continues, but for this new guide for all Patrons of CK I’m skipping ahead from my sequential march through Image’s launch titles. Even though this comic launched in 1994, it’s the sibling title of yesterday’s brand new Guide to Cyberforce. It didn’t make sense to have one without the other or to cram them into a single guide. That’s why this new Top Cow Production guide got to skip ahead in line to reach you today: its my Guide to Codename Strykeforce.
Codename: Strykeforce proved the maxim that for every 90s team there had to be an even more extreme version. Even though Cyberforce was full of big guns and cybernetic limbs, we still needed a version of it who were mercenaries for money… right?
