Guide to Ghost Machine – Geoff Johns’ Image Comics Imprint (New for Patrons!)

April 9, 2025 by krisis Leave a Comment

Today I’m back with another new indie guide for Patrons of CK! It’s a guide for an Image Imprint that has created non-stop chatter over the past year, including a constant hum on my Pull List streams. You might be surprised that I devoted a whole guide to it, since I’m historically not a fan of its main author! But, like every guide on the site, this one was borne from me having a question about the comics that no one else on the internet answered to my satisfaction. That’s why I now have my second guide to a creator-centric imprint with my Guide to Ghost Machine – an Image Comics imprint helmed by Geoff Johns!

Guide to Geoff Johns’ Ghost Machine

Guide to Ghost Machine, an Image Comics imprint from Geoff Johns

This guide is available exclusively to Patrons and will be available to the public later this year with the release of the First Ghost (2025) series and an end-of-year wave of collections.

Anyone who has followed me across various videos and message boards in addition to this blog knows I have no great love for Geoff Johns as a scripter. I enjoy him occasionally, especially during DC’s New 52, but often I just don’t vibe with his plot and character choices.

Then why am I making a guide for his Image Comics imprint, launched in 2024 to gather together a pair of existing mini-series and launch a new line of ongoing titles by Johns, Peter Tomasi, letterer Rob Leigh, and their artistic collaborators?

Two words: Shared Multiverse.

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Image Comics – March 12 2025

March 8, 2025 by krisis Leave a Comment

Violator: Origins (2024) #6 (of 6), an Image Comics March 12 2025 new release from Todd McFarlane Productions

Next week is the 11th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics March 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics March 5 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: Violator ends and his beginning is collected(!), Camp’s very normal Crisis Events, Transformers teases an epic rivalry, an apocalyptic meal of Chew and East of West compendiums, Rogue Sun back for a new arc, things get nightmarish in Moon Is Following Us, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: In a major upset, I think I’m genuinely more excited to see how Marc Andreyko wraps up Violator: Origin (2024) #6 than I am for Deniz Camp’s Assorted Crisis Events (2025) #1 now that I know that will be an anthology series. Violator was also an anthology of single one-shot stories, but all of them with Violator and filling out the deep lore of the Spawn Universe. Plus, this week Alan Moore’s Violator is finally collected!!!

This post includes every comic out from Image Comics this week on March 12 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, 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 March 12 2025 new releases!

Juvenile (2024) #2, an Image Comics January 8 2025 new releaseNext week is the 2nd new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics January 8 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics January 1 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: Copra dies, gunslingers & knights in the afterlife, the deadly secrets of becoming an adult, rebellious devils, seven minutes lost in space, rebel princess vs. robot warlord, the return of O’Malley’s Snotgirl, Autobots and Decepticons throw down, 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: Juvenile (2024) #2! The first issue of this solo comic from Jesús Orellana really captured my imagination and I’m hungry to see where he’ll head with a second issue. More on why I loved it below.

This post includes every comic out from Image Comics this week, plus collected editions. This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why?

The Pull List: Avengers: No Surrender, Backways, Detective Comics, Maestros, Marvel 2-in-One, & more!

January 26, 2018 by krisis

The Pull List has grown a lot longer this week – 17 issues in all!

That’s due to catching up with another Marvel book (Thanos), several new indie #1s, and a few Image books I’ve read to the present in the past few weeks. Also, starting this week I’m running very short reviews of the X-Men books covered in This Week in X here, so that you can catch up on all the week’s new titles in one place!

Here’s what’s on my Pull List:

  • Abbott (2018) #1
  • Avengers (2017) #677
  • Backways (2017) #2
  • Detective Comics (1937/2016) #973
  • Dissonance (2018) #1
  • Doomsday Clock (2017) #3
  • Gasolina (2017) #5
  • Legion (2018) #1
  • Maestros (2017) #4
  • Marvel 2-in-One (2018) #2
  • Phoenix Resurrection (2018) #4
  • Raven: Daughter of Darkness (2018) #1
  • Thanos (2016) #15
  • Vinegar Teeth (2018) #1
  • Wonder Woman (2016) #39
  • X-Men: Blue (2017) #20
  • X-Men: Blue (2017) Annual 1

I hope these capsule reviews can help you decided what series you should add to your own pull list, or at least catch up with once they hit collected editions! And, remember, this feature is still new and evolving, so your comments and suggestions count a lot!
