Let's Roast IMAGE COMICS! 

It's like a super brief Image Grand Design

The street angel splash page was a very cool redo of the Lone Wolf and cub story meet the Buddha , kill the Buddha. Deep cut all of this book. Amazing.

You guys need to go to Singapore Comic Con. Singapore is one of my favorite places on earth. They like comics out there and there is a lot of stuff to see and do there. Also, the food is incredible

I never got into comics as an edgy teen in the 90s but when it came to Spawn that was my comic hero. My cousin preferred Savage Dragon & was inspired to get a mohawk like his mohawk like fins or spines. Now I am 40 & getting back into Spawn with the Compendiums & the new Gunslinger, King, & Scorched spin offs

It's interesting how poorly the 90s Image aesthetic has aged. However, it still hits that sweet spot for the 8-15 year old boy demographic. I was a couple of years too old to ever get into Image (I was already in my artsy-fartsy Caliber/Vertigo phase). However, my 14 year old son is discovering 90s Image and Valiant now and prefers them to any modern comic.

"A Contract with Todd" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Priceless! I had a book with IMAGE for 3 issues during the original B&W experiment back in what, 1997? No complaints. I'm an Image trivia answer now.

Oh man, I would love if Barry Tan did a 1963 bootleg with some folks, maybe even Don Simpson, to finish off the series. Those 1963 pages looked amazing

I'm proud to say that I've gotten to know and collaborate with Barry a lot this last year or two, including on the Sky Solo story in this book. He lives in Singapore, where access to having a RU-vid account is complicated and this video dropped in the middle of the night, but he's awake and excited and his phone is blowing up. The attention is well deserved. The bad news is he only made 25 copies of Contraband Comic Cavalcade and the prospects for a wider print run are low. The good news is, you can buy a book with his art as the cover and a lot more of his excellent work inside, including a version of that Sky Solo story seen here with a few little details changed to keep us on the right side of IP law and getting artists like him compensated for his work. The book features a murderer's row of great artists who all know each other from following CK, and it's pretty impressive, if I do say so myself... cosmiclionproductions.com/comix-shop-1/ols/products/ghost-agents-apocalyptico

A Contract with Todd is my new band name.

I still have a guilty pleasure and love for the beginning of Image Comics. Brigade, Bloodstrike, and Prophet is still my favorites from this era.

Shut up and take my money. Seriously, where can we cop, Barry?

This comic really really is impressive. So much love and intention!

Holy shit incredible pages!

If anyone ever finds this book for sale, please post the link!

For me, it's U for Union. Those cosmic Kirby-esque pages are drop dead gorgeous!

I could sure go for a whole series of that tokusatsu Spawn

is red room on the february 2023 previews catalog? to pre order it.

This is a killer bootleg! I hate that I missed out on owning a copy, but thankfully I can at least read it here!

You guys should have Ian Chalgren on I need a behind the scenes look behind the bootleg process!!!

What a great talent. Thanks for the look.

I actually found the original Splitting Image comic a week ago.
