New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Image Comics – May 7 2025

May 3, 2025 by krisis

Next week is the 19th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics May 7 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics April 30 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: Kirkman’s Blood & Thunder debuts, a new arc for Kaya, a final arc for Farmhand, the Moon is nearly done following us, recollected Invincible, Snake-Eyes goes undercover, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Since I’m not caught up on Kaya (2022) I can’t pick the start of it’s new arc! Failing that, I think I have to go with Blood & Thunder (2025) #1, which sounds like a sci-fi take on Fairlady (2019) – on of my favorite Image books of the past decade.

This post includes every comic out from Image Comics this week on May 7 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 May 7 2025 new releases!

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Image Comics – April 9 2025

Next week is the 15th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics April 9 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics April 2 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: A silent Jinx from Watters & Dani, two Spawn classics collected, a major explainer in Transformers, old-lady revenge, Geiger vs. The Glowing Woman, collected Lore Remastered, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This is a strong week of Image where I’m interested in every single book on the list, but there can be only choice for me – Dan Watters & Dani taking on my favorite Joe in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Jinx (2025) #1! Jinx has only popped up occasionally in Larry Hama’s relaunched A Real American Hero universe so far, so I’m looking forward to seeing her in this classic-style silent adventure.

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

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!!!

Back Issue Review: Black-Eyed Kids, Lady Mechanika, Warframe, and more!

January 28, 2018 by krisis

Welcome to another week of Back Issue Review! In this post, I share my capsule reviews of comic books I read that were not newly-released this month.

My reading this week was entirely focused on non Big Two comics (that means no Marvel and no DC) and largely on checking out books with women protagonists I hadn’t read before.

This post includes reviews of:

Black Cloud (2017) #1-2
Black-Eyed Kids (2016) #1-15
Bonehead (2018) #1
Dread Gods (2017) #1-2
God Complex: Dogma (2017) #1-3
Interceptor (2016) #1-5
Justice League (2016) #22-24
Lady Mechankia (2010) #0-2
Maxwell’s Demons (2017) #1
Morea (2017) Vol. 1
Paper Girls (2015) #11-15
(AKA Volume 3)
Reactor (2018) #1
The Realm (2017) #1-4
Rose (2017) #1-4
Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose (2000) #1
Void Trip (2017) #1-2
Warframe (2017) #1

Unfortunately, most of those weren’t very good, but I did come away with a pair of new favorite titles, plus one I enjoyed but couldn’t commit to because we’re from such different worlds. [Read more…] about Back Issue Review: Black-Eyed Kids, Lady Mechanika, Warframe, and more!
