Sorry but you can't really use the 50 years argument. It took DC 40 years to make a Superman movie in 1978. So really you should start there on where Marvel should have gotten off their ass and started make good movies. Even then you have to realize that Marvel didn't have the luxury of being owned by a multimedia conglomerate like WB. |

That's a good list of ongoings but what about minis? They've been putting out a lot of really amazing miniseries in the past 2, 3 years. |

I'm wondering if anyone's opinion has changed in the last few months, as Images quality output and number of good writers has increased (imo) over the last few months. The Private Eye is the best book no one is talking about now imo. Hab |

That's not an Image book ![]() |

BTW season 3 basically validated Punchy on the Walking Dead tv show thing. |

It seems like it's tough to compare Image to DC or Marvel, because Image feels like many different pieces that are part of one larger puzzle. That's why there's labels within the main label. So while Image is putting out amazing comics, I don't think the comparison works. |

According to the FAQ on their website, "Does Image take my film and television rights? No. You own ALL of your rights." So I guess no, which makes Robert Kirkman even richer. The Bass weeps. |

"How does publishing a comic book or graphic novel through Image work? Image was set up so that creators could do what they want with their creations, and reap the benefits financially. When a book is published by Image, creators are not paid up front. It can sometimes be two or three months before one sees money from a book. It sounds rough, and it most definitely can be. But if it’s done right, the payoff can be far more rewarding than producing a book in the conventional manner. When the creator does finally get paid, they get paid on what their book makes after the cost of printing and Image’s modest office fee, which covers solicitations, traffic, production, and some promotion of the book. We make no more money off of our highest selling book than we do our lowest." |

I think that they deserve credit for their business model. Between Image, DC and Marvel, we have three very different models. At Image, creators have complete authority over their books. At DC, editors have complete authority over their books. Marvel's is a bit of compromise between the two, giving creators significant leeway while editorial retains ultimate authority. Image has really driven the growth of the industry in the last couple of years, so they are winning. Image deserves credit for realizing that there's a better way of doing things. |

That can't be true. I don't recall Punchy saying Season 3 was solid. ![]() |
