The Walking Dead infects Image’s covers in October with variants

Posted on by

Image Comics has announced a line of exciting team-up variants in celebration of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead hitting its milestone 20 year anniversary. These variant covers will infect Image Comics titles all through October and feature Image artists’ unique interpretations of the iconic horror series’ characters.

The first nine Walking Dead team-up variants revealed this week feature artwork by such comics superstars as Skottie Young (on I Hate Fairyland #10), Declan Shalvey (on Time Before Time #28), Dean Rankin (on Untold Tales of I Hate Fairyland #4), Andrea Sorrentino (on Tenement #5), Stefano Simeone (on connecting variants for: No/One #7, Radiant Black #28 covers C & D, Rogue Sun #17, and The Dead Lucky #10).

The Walking Dead first launched in 2003 from Image Comics and garnered critical acclaim and an escalating sales track-record before Hollywood picked up the hot IP and the series was adapted from TV by AMC in 2010. It was also in 2010 that Kirkman teamed up with David Alpert to launch the multiplatform entertainment company, Skybound Entertainment, which would expand his—and others’—IP beyond comics into other mediums. The Walking Dead has since gone on to become a pop culture phenomenon inspiring everything from hit video games, novelizations, merchandise, and a multitude of multimedia spin-offs across the walker universe. The series has sold over 45 million copies across multiple formats and has been translated into 21 languages globally.

Wonder Woman #800

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Bone Orchard: Tenement #1 (Image Comics) – The story of seven residents in a building and the dark secrets that bind them together…beginning with a death that feels much more sinister than natural. From Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave Stewart, this is a must get.

Cryptid Kids Vol. 1 Bawk Ness Monster (First Second) – A young girl wants to find “Bessie” before she moves to prove her experience as a little girl was real.

Disney Villains: Scar #3 (Dynamite) – Dynamite’s series of comics focusing on its villains. All have been really good so far adding to the classic tales we know and love.

Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel) – The Hulk is diving deep into its horror roots with this start of a new volume.

Josif 1957 #1 (CEX Publishing) – You know about Laika, the Cosmonaut dog sent into orbit on Sputnik 2. But no one knows about JOSIF, the first gorilla in space!

Nightwing #105 (DC Comics) – Another cool visually experimental comic where it’s told from Dick’s perspective.

Scarlet Witch Annual #1 (Marvel) – The “Contest of Chaos” kicks off here with this prelude that has Agatha Harkness learning that the Scarlet Witch absorbed Chthon.

Tomb Raider King Vol. 3 (IZE Press) – Jooheon is back to doing what he does best-finding Relics…or stealing them! But as his collection grows, so does the list of enemies.

Ultimate Invasion #1 (Marvel) – The Ultimate Universe is back! Sort of.

Wild’s End #1 (BOOM! Studios) – It’s a spin on the War of the Worlds type story where a crew at sea returns home to find their seaside home now occupied by alien invaders.

Wonder Woman #800 (DC Comics) – The current story arc wraps up as a new one begins with the new creative team!
