New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Image Comics – April 30 2025

April 26, 2025 by krisis

Next week is the 18th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics April 30 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics April 23 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: Copra dies, Wes Craig draws a silent Duke, DWJ’s Transformers gets deluxed, Feral wraps its first year, a new fantasy from Curt Pires, conflict finds the Rocketfellers, life after a death in We’re Taking Everyone Down with Us, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This is a hard call between an intriguing #1 and a #2 I am desperate to read, but I have to give it to Matthew Rosenberg’s We’re Taking Everyone Down with Us (2025) #2. Issue #1 was a perfect comic book – something I’ve been waiting to read from Rosenberg ever since being introduced to him in the absolutely perfect 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank nearly a decade ago. However, I am also extremely hype for Lost Fantasy (2025) #1 from Curt Pires!

This post includes every comic out from Image Comics this week on April 30 2025, plus collected editions. This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and comment on every series with a new issue out this week to help you figure out if they’re for you.

Plus, for some long-running series and Image Comics imprints, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to Indie Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

There’s no other website on the internet that can claim that.

And now, onto Image Comics April 30 2025 new releases!

The Energon Universe Collecting Guide – G.I. Joe & Transformers, Skybound Entertainment

Guide to Energon Universe – GI Joe & Transformers (New for Patrons!)

March 19, 2025 by krisis

After a few months packed with catching up on reading new releases from Marvel, DC, and Image for my weekly YouTube show “The Pull List,” I’m excited to get back to launching new comic guides to Patrons of CK! And, I’m especially excited about this first new guide, because it breaks ground on covering a comics property that is incredibly close to my heart. Fire up your 80s nostalgia, grab your favorite action figures, and get ready to shout “YO JOE” and “AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT” because it’s time for a Guide to the Energon Universe – GI Joe & Transformers!

Guide to the Energon Universe – GI Joe & Transformers

This guide is available exclusively to Patrons and will be available to the public in June 2025 with the release of the first trade of the new G.I. Joe (2024) ongoing series!

As I’ve been catching up on my Energon Universe reading I’ve looked around the web to see what collecting guides and reading orders exist. Some of my colleagues have put together handy quick guides to each series, but from my perspective they were all missing something.

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Image Comics – January 22 2025

Next week is the 4th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics January 22 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics January 15 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: Astro City completed (for now), Criminal reprints, more of Gunslinger’s origins, Cobra Commander vs. Destro, Christmas comes to Hyde Street, a return to Oz, a Savage Dragon celebration, a new branch of Tynion’s W0rldtr33, and more!

These posts will give me a chance to re-orient myself to what’s going on with Image after a few years away from reading any of their books!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This was a close one for me with such a kick-ass issue of G.I. Joe out this week, but my pick goes to W0rldtr33 (2023) #12, kicking off a third arc of the James Tynion IV ongoing title that feels like a sequel to his indie “viral trilogy” that initially turned me on to his scary creator-owned work. More on this book below!
