New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Image Comics – January 29 2025

January 25, 2025 by krisis

Next week is the 5th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics January 29 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics January 22 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: The collected Power Fantasy, an unflinching view of the Dust Bowl, Black Cloak wraps a second arc, Blood Squad Seven faces their signature foes, Violator chats with Lucifer, Twitch gets framed by a dead man, teen angels vs horny devils, 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: I am trembling with anticipation for Dust to Dust (2024) #2 after reading the utterly perfect first issue of this historical fiction comic from J. G. Jones, Phil Bram, & Jackie Marzan. Every page was gorgeously-rendered and perfectly scripted. This is absolutely the kind of comic that explains why I try to read everything – even books that sound sound like they’re not for me. More on why I loved this so much 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? 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 January 29 2025 new releases!

This week in Image Comics: A hunk of Hack/Slash, Witchblade relaunched and collected, the Serpentor War, Sam & Twitch in hardcover, a Nights climax, a war across the dream realm, 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: The Moon Is Following Us (2024) #5! I feel like the past two issues of this Johnson/Rossmo/Spicer jam got a little repetitive, so I’m hoping for some big revelations in this one. Plus, I’m utterly addicted to Mike Spicer’s colors!

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!

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – January 15 2025

Next week is the 3rd new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics January 15 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics January 8 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: Blade Epics hit the 90s, the Road to Onslaught re-collected, Aliens in Paradise, the Deadly Phil Coulson, an Asgardian jam, Rogue in the Savage Land, Storm vs. Doom, Ultimate Wolverine debuts, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Storm (2024) #4! With more issues, I think this series could have easily been my favorite comic of 2024. Murewa Ayodele is walking a tightrope of plot that could result in a major fall, but it feels like his balance just gets better with every issue. Having Lucas Werneck along for art helps! See below for more thoughts on this excellent solo run.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics January 15 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

Marvel Comics January 15 2025 Collected Editions

Blade Epic Collection Vol. 2: Nightstalkers
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302956547 / digital)
See Guide to Blade. The Blade Epic Collection line starts with a bang by picking him up in the 90s, recollecting Tomb of Dracula (1991) #1-4 and pressing onward to Nightstalkers (1992) #1-6. Issues #2-5 are collected here in color for the first time!

That also hints that a first Epic Collection will wind up being a slimmed down version of the Blade: The Early Years omnibus that ends on Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #64, which makes sense since it collects a heck of a lot of Tomb of Dracula (1972).

Marvel Masterworks: Ka-Zar Vol. 4
(2025 hardcover, ISBN 978-1302955601 / digital)
Damnit, I really need a Ka-Zar guide! Marvel presses on with an unexpected fourth volume of this Masterworks line that collects Ka-Zar (1974) #10-20, [Uncanny] X-Men (1963) #115-116; and material from Rampaging Hulk (1977) #9 and Marvel Fanfare (1982) #56-59.

I was truly puzzled that this is leap-frogging Ka-Zar’s entire 1981 series to pick up the later Shanna The She-Devil story from the end of Marvel Fanfare until I realized that story is told in flashback and fits here – not only in continuity, but in when Steve Gerber originally wrote the script!

That makes this an incredibly rare Masterwork that skips ahead for later material, alongside Ms. Marvel Vol. 2 (which picks up Chris Claremont’s unfinished Ms. Marvel (1977) issues that were burned off as anthology stories over a decade later).
