Holy cow!....today was the first day of Image Expo and we got tons of announcements! Among the highlights: - Paul Jenkins taking over Spawn with issue #251 (and the previous 250 issues becoming available online at once)
- Scott Snyder & Jeff Lemiere doing a GN together.
- Darwyn Cooke doing a 3-part limited series.
- Pretty Deadly Vol 2 set in WWI and set to release on September.
- "Island" is a comic book magazine like Heavy Metal, Emma Rios will have a short story in the debuting issue.
- Skottie Young doing a series set in a fantasy Oz-like world in which the protagonist goes insanely violent (think Rocket Raccoon meets Oz).
- Brian K Vaughan doing two books, a mini series set in the future in which Canada fights the USA (which has giants robots) and an ongoing with Cliff Chiang.
- The third arc of The Wicked + The Divine will focus on each god and will be drawn by a series of guest artists because....
- ....Jaime McKelvie will focus on the third and last part of Phonogram.
- And in typical fashion, Chip Zdasky crashed the presentation to announce Howard the Duck....I mean, his newest book: Kaptara. Which he is calling "gay Saga" (since the main character is a gay man).
And of course there are even MORE announcements.....dammit Image! my wallet!!!

So happy to see so many more female creators represented at the expo. My most anticipated new series is Liu/Takeda's Monstress. I'm also looking forward to the new arc of Pretty Deadly and plan to check out Paper Girls (Chiang!) and possibly RunLoveKill (that cover has me intrigued).

So, who is going to be the one to tell our Fantastic Four that Alex Di Campi is a woman?
(and you all should be reading Grindhouse)
