For a long time Sony held the rights to Frank Cho’s Liberty Meadows series, but now it looks like Cho has the rights back, and can proceed with new stories and issues.
Comics can be very addicting. One only has to look at the 10,000 plus comics gathering dust and space in the Major Spoilers HQ Nerd Room of Doom! to see that. Image Comics wants to hook new readers on their sweet, sweet candy with a new Image Firsts campaign.
Beginning in September, Image will reprint and re-release 10 first issues that introduced major characters to the comic universe. The new issues will be released through November, with each featuring a $1 cover price.
“Response to Image Firsts has been phenomenal,” exclaims Image Publisher Eric Stephenson. “So, we are expanding the line with a second wave of IMAGE FIRSTS. Image Firsts is a fantastic way for readers to discover new titles and for retailers to introduce customers to Image’s unsurpassed backlist.”
I really like it when comic book companies release books at a much lower price, and the $1.00 price point is almost nothing in this day of $5.00 titles.

My jealousy for those able to attend all the great comic book convention continues to grow whenever I see the panel, signing, and booth schedules for the various publishers. Image Comics has sent its rundown, and there are plenty of things for Image fans to do this weekend.
Throughout the convention the Image Comics booth will be home to signings galore, a convention exclusive cover of the superhero debut JERSEY GODS and an array of creators including Rob Liefeld (YOUNGBLOOD), Whilce Portacio (SPAWN), Frank Cho (LIBERTY MEADOWS), Richard Starkings (ELEPHANTMEN), Glen Brunswick (JERSEY GODS), Josh Williamson (JOHNNY MONSTER) and Vinny Navarette (DEAR DRACULA).
We’re going to get a lot of panel announcements and press releases about the New York Comic Con this week, and we want to make sure everyone knows what’s going on at the show. Frank Cho is a favorite artist of mine, so checking out his panel presented by Image Comics would be something high on my list.
Press Release Follows:
LIBERTY MEADOWS creator and NEW ULTIMATES illustrator Frank Cho will be the subject of a live interview and retrospective of his entire career at The New York Comic Con during the APES & BABES: THE FRANK CHO SPOTLIGHT, Saturday, February 7th at 5:30 PM in Room 1A06.
