1992 was a special year for comic books. Several freelance writers and illustrators were growing tired of the Big Two- Marvel and DC’s work for hire practices and felt they were not sufficiently rewarded for their work.
Seven major freelance artists and creators had enough and walked out of their respective companies.Erik Larsen, Jim Lee, Whilce Portacio, Todd McFarlane, Marc Silvestri, Jim Lee and Jim Valentino established Image comics which would become a haven for creator owned properties and the third largest comic book publisher in the industry.
If you have any doubts, look no further than their live action adaptations- The Walking Dead, Spawn, Powers, Happy, The Crow, I Kill Giants, The Old Guard, Wanted, Kick-Ass I and II, the upcoming Mark Millar projects and so on.
9) The Writer
Kirkman created the Marvel Zombies Universe among other things but ultimately left the company saying he did not have the best of experiences. He moved to image comics and was made a partner and has his own Skybound Studios from which he operates.
Robert Kirkman wrote the Walking Dead in 2003 and its massive success contributed to the well-loved television show. The beloved series ended abruptly in 2019 with a total of 193 issues by Kirkman with art by Charlie Adlard
Robert Kirkman also writes amazing superhero comics. He is the creator and writer for all 144 issues of “the greatest superhero comic in the universe”, Invincible. The series was co-created with Cory Walker who was then replaced by Ryan Ottley. The series was a love letter to superhero comics and loved by fans as well as critics.
8) The Setting
Image comics does have its own superhero universe albeit a less popular one than the big two. Characters such as Spawn, Savage Dragon and super teams like Youngblood have all crossed over with each other in stories.
7) The Main Characters
Say hello to the Grayson family. They look seemingly ordinary on the outside. Nolan Grayson, a novelist is married to Deborah Grayson and they have a teenage son, Mark, the protagonist of the series.
Here’s the twist: Mark’s dad is a ridiculously powered alien. As earth’s mightiest hero, Omni man, he battles threats on a regular basis. He reveals his origins to Mark as a child- he was part of an alien species called the Viltrumites. He then drops a bombshell on little Mark: Viltruimites gain powers by the time they are adolescents leaving little Mark excited at the prospect of flight.
Mark witnesses his father in conflict with a hero called the Immortal and watches his father rip him to shreds. Nolan pauses. He begins to narrate how the Viltrumites, the strongest warriors in the galaxy will be coming to take over earth and turn it into their vision of the perfect society.
6) The Supporting Cast
One of the series’ biggest positives is the number of supporting characters and the impact they leave on both Mark and the reader.
His mother Deborah and his half-brother Oliver who are an integral part of his life. His father’s government contact Cecil Stedman is both mentor as well as obstacle at times, plucking mark out of some very sticky situations.
The rest of the Teen Team based on DC’s teen titans and its members, the loudmouth Rex Splode, the twins Dupli-Kate and Multi-Paul, Robot-the hero turned supervillain. Monster Girl and Atom Eve (more on her later) all leave an impression on Mark. It isn’t just Mark’s story that gets told, but theirs as well.
