Poll of the Day > Which Image Comics character is your favorite?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was pretty torn between Spawn and not-Spawn, but finally went with the not-Spawn known as Savage Dragon.

I'd pick Spawn, and Jackie Estacado second.

When the company originally debuted, I hated pretty much everything other than Marc Silvestri's Cyber Force, and even that was kind of an incoherent mess. So I've always been kind of biased against Spawn, even after McFarlane broke down and hired actual writers to write it for him (and then fucked those writers over and got sued for it).

The Maxx

Savage Dragon is pretty good, too.

The Maxx was always my favorite, though. Wish it wasn't cut so short.

Batman

I've always gotten a chuckle from McFarlane's hypocritical douchebaggery.

Agree with The Maxx. Doing something different that is good not just different.

I really liked the concept of The Pitt as well, but it died like so many others.

"WAAAH! Marvel is oppressing me by saying my art is work-for-hire and not entirely my own property. Creators rights! I'mma go form my own company!"

"WAAAH! These writers I hired to write my comic book for me are saying their story and characters are entirely their own property, and not mine! Fuck those guys! They knew going in it was work-for-hire!"

At the time I never really cared about most of the behind-the-scenes nonsense, though - I mostly just hated Image because most of their comics were incoherent messes or just kind of stupid (not entirely surprising a company entirely run by artists). It also didn't really help that half of them seemed to have a hard time ever getting their books released on schedule (not entirely surprising a company entirely run by artists).

Back at that point I mostly had way more hope for the future of comics when it came to Valiant, except that went downhill as well pretty damned fast once they fired Jim Shooter.

The 90s were a dark, blighted time.

kind of funny that spawn isn't even the biggest image comic book out right now(that honor would go to something like Saga Or East Of West)

I dunno what Image Comics is.

the word "Comics" is in the name it's a comic book publisher

Google exists so anyone who has to say "i don't know what this thing is" is just trolling

Does Image still run Groo the Wanderer, or is that some other publisher now?
