Next week is the 7th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics February 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics February 5 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: Jason Aaron bugs out, I Hate Fairyland ends an arc and in Deluxe, Spawn heats up, nightmare fuel in The Moon is Following Us, the very clever Lucky Devils, a lovey-dovey Creepshow, Kill or Be Killed compendium, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: I’m definitely excited to read more of The Lucky Devils (2025), but I’m even more curious to read Bug Wars (2025) #1! I enjoy when Jason Aaron tackles kids as protagonists, I love the idea of a brutal bug war happening in your own back yard, and he’s assembled an astonishing creative team with Mahmud Asrar, Matt Wilson, and Becca Carey.

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

Deadpool is now a multi-media star – perhaps one of Marvel’s most-visible characters – but he had humble beginnings.

He was introduced in 1991 in one of the final issues of New Mutants, created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza as mercenary who was an oddball cross between Spider-Man and DC Comics’ Deathstroke.

Deadpool was just one of a slew of newly-introduced extreme characters that leaned into the bloodlust of early 90s fans. Yet, he stood out in the crowd in his remarkably sparse early appearances. That was largely because Nicieza gifted him with a unique, sardonic, self-deprecating voice, which other writers gladly picked up.

After six years of guest appearances, Deadpool landing his own ongoing in 1997 penned by newcomer Joe Kelly only tiny handful of issues into his career. The series stuck – it was one of the few to survive Marvel’s early 2000’s cull, and Deadpool would never again go without at least one ongoing series to his name.
