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?

New for Patrons: Guide to Cyberforce by Marc Silvestri
It’s the final week of my personal Indie Comics Month and I have so many new guides to share with Patrons of CK! Of course, I’ll still be posting guides to indie and licensed comics in the future, but I set a personal goal for guides to launch this month which should reveal itself in full by the end of the week. This new guide is a massive step towards completing that goal, because it means I have now made at least one guide for each of Image Comics six launch imprints! That’s right, it’s my first Top Cow Productions guide for their original flagship title: Guide to Cyberforce!
Cyberforce was the original creation of Marc Silvestri for his Top Cow imprint at Image Comics. It holds the unique distinction of being the flagship title of an original Image imprint that is definitely not the most popular title from that imprint.
