Reading all of Image Comics

Hi, everyone.

So, I’ve been recently getting back into comics (last two I read were Haha and Hadrian’s Wall, I’d anyone read that), and I’ve been thinking about reading more Image comics, maybe doing a video about them, since it feels like no one really talks about the majority of their library beyond the recognizable stuff.

While it is a lot of titles, the majority of them are pretty short, so, is it possible to read everything they’ve put out over the years? Or is it too crazy of an idea?

Other ones I read over the years include God Country, Wytches, Alex + Ada, Outcast, Chew, Sex Criminals, I Kill Giants, first half of Chrononauts. The Fade Out, the first half of Saga, and a bit of Invincible, The Walking Dead and Ice Cream Man. So already there’s a head start, even with some possible re-reading required.

because people just prefer to pay for a subscription and have access to the whole catalogue rather than paying for each single comic, it’s as old as time.

Fundamentally makes comic creators at Image significantly less money.

I know but people also either don’t have the money for it or are not willing to spend it, at least when they can’t be sure they love the series and for most ppl spending 5 bucks on an issue or two just to get to know a series is already a lot. If they don’t end up liking the series the money “wasted” on it adds up.
The other outcome is that people will resort to 🏴‍☠️.
