PANELS HOSTED BY IMAGE COMICS:

Image Comics: Creating The Future of Creativity
Thursday, October 5th @ 4:45 – 5:45 PM, Room 1A02                           

"Do you have a story to tell that you think might be "too weird" or a little bit off-kilter? Here's the truth: anything goes in comics. The only limits are your time and imagination, so why hold back? Come to this panel and follow the example of Seth M. Peck (THE REALM), Cat Staggs (CROSSWIND), Jeremy Haun & Jason A. Hurley (THE BEAUTY), Brenden Fletcher (MOTOR CRUSH), and Matt Wilson (THE WICKED + THE DIVINE). They swing for the fences every time, and so should you.

Image Comics: The Future of Genre       
Friday October 6th @ 6:45 - 7:45 PM, Room 1A21       
                   
"What kind of comics are you into? Are you a horror fiend? A crime fan? On the hook for sci-fi? Comics are perfectly suited to tell all types of stories. Come listen to Wes Craig (DEADLY CLASS), Ryan Browne (CURSE WORDS), Donny Cates (GOD COUNTRY), Gregg Schigiel (PIX), and Amy Reeder (ROCKET GIRL) discuss telling stories that range from the realistic to the magical, what drives their creative engines, and what they're looking forward to seeing more of in the future.
               
Image Comics: The Future of Fantasy           
Saturday October 7th @ 4:00 - 5:00 PM, Room 1A24 
                            
"Fantasy has long been a genre where we discuss our deepest fears, express our quietest hopes, or even just enjoy a rollicking story of swords and magic. Justin Jordan (THE FAMILY TRADE), Meredith Finch (ROSE), Sebastian Girner (SCALES & SCOUNDRELS), Simon Spurrier (CRY HAVOC), Caspar Wijngaard (ANGELIC), and W. Maxwell Prince (ONE WEEK IN THE LIBRARY) have more than proven that they know their way around a fantasy tale, and they're here to talk about telling stories about fantastic places while living on our mundane Earth, avoiding common pitfalls of the genre, and making the unbelievable beloved.
                           
Image Comics: The Future of Storytelling
Sunday, October 8th @ 3:45 - 4:45 PM, Room 1A21                               

"Comics aren't just words or pictures. They're the intersection of both, and mastering the art of comics storytelling can be tricky. Marjorie Liu (MONSTRESS), Kyle Higgins (HADRIAN'S WALL), Morgan Beem (THE FAMILY TRADE), Andrew MacLean (HEADLOPPER), Alison Sampson (WINNEBAGO GRAVEYARD), and Cliff Chiang (PAPER GIRLS) co-create some of the most beautiful and powerful comics on store shelves. Come listen to them discuss the ins and outs of storytelling and how to make your comics the best they can be.

SuBLime Release "Jackass" Yaoi Manga Oct. 10th

GLOBAL YAOI MANGA PUBLISHER SUBLIME DELIVERS THE ROMANTIC COMEDY JACKASS! THIS FALL

Love And Lust Ensue When A Pair Of Panty Hose Entangle The Lives Of Best Friends

Has he unwittingly unleashed a secret fetish that will change their relationship forever?

Image Comics Announces "Gideon Falls" Comic Book

LEMIRE AND SORRENTINO INTRODUCE AN OTHERWORLDLY MYSTERY IN GIDEON FALLS

NEW YORK, NY — Image Comics is pleased to announce a suspenseful ongoing supernatural/horror series from the creative team behind Green Arrow and Old Man Logan—New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award winning writer Jeff Lemire and critically-acclaimed artist Andrea Sorrentino—in GIDEON FALLS.

“Gideon Falls has been percolating in my brain for a long long time. A lot of the ideas have been with me for over a decade, but I just never found the right time or way to pull them together...that was until I started working with Andrea Sorrentino,” said Lemire. “Andrea and I quickly developed an incredible chemistry while working on Green Arrow and Old Man Logan. And, as much as we loved working on those books, we were dying to create something all our own too, and now we have with Gideon Falls, one of the weirdest and wildest things either of us has ever done. We are excited to be at Image and excited to be unleashing Gideon Falls with the incomparable Dave Stewart joining us on colors.”

In GIDEON FALLS, the lives of a reclusive young man obsessed with a conspiracy in the city’s trash, and a washed up Catholic Priest arriving in a small town full of dark secrets become intertwined around the mysterious legend of The Black Barn, a otherworldly building that is alleged to have appeared in both the city and the small town, throughout history, bringing death and madness in its wake.

Rural mystery and urban horror collide in this character driven meditation on obsession, mental illness and faith. The series is set to launch in March 2018.

Practical Keisuke’s incredibly handsome best friend Masayuki has always rubbed him just a little bit the wrong way.

Has he unwittingly unleashed a secret fetish that will change their relationship forever?
