you all probably dont care at all but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
I wish there was more about The Maxx in this. It was a truly groundbreaking and fantastic series. And anyone reading this that has not read Saga, NEEDS TO. Saga is perhaps the greatest thing ever! 👊👽🤘
Awesome series! Very fun. My only "complaint" would be there seems to be a missing gap - When Joe Mad, Humberto Ramos, and J. Scott Campbell came along, under image to create the cliff hanger imprint. I remember the hype around their books (Battle Chasers, Crimson, and Danger girl) And although Crimson was the only book to arrive on time and finish, I really remember this time of image as a big moving forward point.
James Francovas Todd MacFarlane. Dave Franco as Rob Liefeld. John Cho as Jim Lee. Robbie Amell as Michael Turner. The baseball cap kid from Stranger Things as young Robert Kirkman.
@@DCMarvelMultiverse I'd put Christian Bale as Todd, other than that, it's perfect. I'd add the stories of Jack Kirby and previous creators as the context of the beginning.
Great Documentary---only thing I feel like was missing was McFarlane Toys discussion. That played a large role, from my perspective anyway, in getting IMAGE to the masses as well. Was it his company that produced toys for all image? There were Young Blood, Wetworks, Savage Dragon toys. My dad bought a few of the comics, but it was really the Toys that captured my interest as a child
This doc and kirkman kinda breeze past invincible as not being all that important, but that’s a pretty huge f’n hit too in 2021. Two season renewal at the same time. Kirkman was on fire, back then
This is a really great documentary series. Really detailed, informative, unveiling and gets down to the nitty gritty. I can’t believe it’s not widely watched or talked about. Well done to the host for a job well done 👍🏼
Finally got to watch this series. Awesome interview and information on creator-owned comics. You can see how Image has even influenced Marvel & DC to create non-super traditional stories though that's their main target audience.
Just finished watching Part 5 of this series. I can just say wow... I was collecting when right when Image was formed. It's amazing to hear the history.
Amazing series. These guys were like heroes to me back in the day. I still have Jim Lee's #1 X-men. Only on RU-vid I could see this extraordinary story. Thanks a lot SyFy
Great documentary, I only recently got into Image Comics kind of recently but my favourite (ongoing) titles are The Walking Dead, Saga, Kill Or Be Killed, Deadly Class and Lazarus.
Modern day Image is very good...they do many things right...BUT...they don't maintain consistent releases AND too many creators abandon the stories mid-stream, e.g., Warren Ellis and Nick Spencer. I'm spent time and money on certain titles - "Trees", "They're Not Like Us", "The Nowhere Men", "Morning Glories" and they just stop without warning and either never publish again or do publish again with extremely long duration between releases. To be honest, as much as I enjoy Image's books, I tend to buy more titles now from AfterShock, Black Mask, BOOM!, Dark Horse, Oni Press, Vertigo and European publishers like Humanoids and 2000 AD. If I want superheroes, I read Valiant.
It feels as though this series leaves out a lot in terms of where things are now with the founders and their overall thoughts of the company in its current state
Irod draw They sure are. I'm looking at my Gen 13 comics right now from the 90's....and they were published by Image. Spawn and Gen 13 where the *biggest* comics by them at the time. Forget Wildcats, Pitt, Young Blood, Savage Dragon, Ripclaw, etc.
I was an avid reader of image comics back in 1994 to 1996. I was only 8 to 10. I never realised image was still killing it with the old board member until I saw this today.
Great series. I'm going to have to assume Brubaker and Phillips weren't available as the only reason to not mention Criminal or their other works for image which have been some of the best pieces of art in ages.
I was there at the Golden Apple with my other 2 friends ditching school just to get signatures. BTW I have the Deathmate Gold sign with like 12 signatures.
@@talent103 no. i can go to any store that has used comics and get any 90s image books for a dollar each at the most. there are so many of them in every comic book stores cheapo bin that im actually surprised when i find books from the big 2 or other companies like dark horse and valiant.
Hey Syfy that was great next time talk about the impact that is Fantagraphics comics. They brought in the whole notion of creator own comics into the mainstream market. They did it in the 80s.
Todd gave all his energy to comics with image..mmm...making basically one book this entire time but creating a toy line that is bigger than his one book..I am not diminishing what Image did ..but it is not like there are not examples of other makers that werent with the big two out there doing it before them..a little book called TMNT that spawned tv and movies came first..non superhero books like Love and Rockets and Cerberus for example that had a lot of acclaim ..certainly not at sales levels that books these days get..but a lot of it is the speculators all over again hoping these books go up in price once a tv or movie is made of it.
Y'all tackled the dramas with Liefeld and Lee, Larsen vs Valentino, but you don't cover McFarlane's treatment of Neil Gaiman? If you guys are going to cover Image as this creator-owned paradise, isn't it kind of intellectually dishonest to avoid dealing with the moments when the company failed to live up to that ideal?
Yeah, Todd's poor treatment of Gaiman was the first time I saw him for the colossal douche canoe egomaniac he comes across as. Todd is quite a businessman, but he doesn't really seem to care that he comes off as a colossal prick.
I think had Image had someone early on who was capable of keeping the creators focused the comic book landscape today would be very different. But, history is what it is. We wouldn't have gotten The Walking Dead, Saga, or so many others.
wow, some really wild comments below. Did nobody else see diversity in context? As in diversity of GENRES of books published? The comments ramble on with odd arguments and tangents, and don't mention what the doco did - that image went from that 90's superhero book company to image 2.0 with new GENRES and new creators doing non-superhero books. Way to go off topic people.
