Two acclaimed Image Comics miniseries are getting free first issues! The debut issues of two Image Comics science fiction miniseries, Storm Dogs and Comeback, are now free at comiXology and on the Image Comics digital site and app. The two issues have sold out in print at the distributor level.

Storm Dogs by David Hine and Doug Braithwaite has been hailed for its sophisticated depiction of an alien world, futuristic technology, and taut procedural mystery story. The issues I have read are solid and it’s definitely worth checking out the first issue, even if it wasn’t free.

Storm Dogs #2 was in stores on December 5 and continued the roll of positive reviews. Issue #3 will be in stores on January 16, 2013.

Comeback is a stylish time-travel thriller by Ed Brisson and Michael Walsh, published under Image Comics’ Shadowline imprint. It’s another example of the excellent comics Image has been publishing this year.

Comeback has also continued its great reception with the release of its second issue on December 19.
