The Image Expo has been going on today, and a lot of stuff has come out of it. Some of these projects being Casanova Vol 4: Acedia by Matt Fraction and Fabio Moon, Wytches by Scott Snyder and Jock, Nameless by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham, C.O.W.L by Kyle Higgins and Rod Reese, and Low by Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini, as well as Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips signing a five year deal with Image to do whatever they want with total freedom according to the press release, the first of which being The Fade Out.
C.O.W.L is about a super-hero labour union in the 1960's struggling to regain the public's confidence.
Casanova Volume 4 will continue on from volume three with the character landing on our Earth with no memory of the past.
Low is set in the future where humanity has been forced to live in radiation shielded cities under the seas after the planet has become uninhabitable. When a probe returns with information about other potential hospitable planets, but lands on the surface, people from warring clans venture out to retrieve it.
Nameless has almost no information other than that Burnham billed it as the "ultimate horror comic".
Wytches is a series where everything you know about witches is wrong, and they are much darker and much more horrifying.
The Fade Out is a crime story set in late 1940's Hollywood spinning from the death of an up-and-coming Hollywood starlet.
EDIT:
Here's some more books I missed from the first post.
James Robinson and Greg Hinkle are bring back public domain character from the 1940's AIRBOY, in a series about two comic creators relaunching a character that has fallen into obscurity.
Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro are launching B***h Planet, a sci-fi story about five prisoners on an all female prison planet ready to make their escape
Brandon Graham is bringing us 8House a series of miniseries set in a sci-fi/fantasy world. Announced are: 8House: KIEM by Graham and Xurxo Penalta, 8House: ArcLight by Graham and Marian Churchland, and 8House: Mirror written by Emma Rios and drawn by Hwei Lim
Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson are releasing Nailbiter, which looks to be a crime story about why more serial killers have been born in Buckaroo, Oregon than any other city in the world.
Nick Spencer is launching three new thriller ongoing series with three different artists. The first being Paradigms with Butch Guice which will be a fantasy story about a world that exists behind ours where magic is real
The second is a sci-fi story with are by Frazer Irving called Cerulean, which follows the last survivors of Earth as they struggle to rebuild civilization.
And the third is Great Beyond with art by Morgan Jeske, is described as being set in a "post-life community" that values the size of your bank account over morals and values, but is rocked by a suicide.
Bill Willingham and Barry Kitson are bringing us Restoration about when magic suddenly returns to the world after being locked away for Millennium.
Joe Keatinge and Leila del Duca are launching urban fantasy Shutter about the most famous explorer on a world much different than ours, who is forced to return to adventure when a family secret threatens to destroy everything.
Kerion Gillen and Jamie McKelvie are bringing us The Wicked & The Divine about twelve gods who are reincarnated every 90 years, but for the first time there may be a thirteenth god who is tipping the balance.
And finally there will be a new Three Issue, Tech Jacket digital mini-series, which picks up after Kirkman's original Tech Jacket series, where the character is more comfortable in his role as Earths defender.
So of all the image stuff announced what are we looking forward to the most?
EDIT: Also CBR now has previews of Low and Tech Jacket Digital
