We all love Image comics. Or at least that’s the impression giving the ever staggering prices of their back issues, with Walking Dead hitting a crazy £1000 minimum and the more recent Peter Panzerfaust issue #1 achieving an equally impressive £100 minimum price tag given it’s age. So it is understandable that those who missed out of the first issue and don’t have a spare few hundred pounds waiting to be thrown on eBay would want to know what the fuss is about. It’s also a great way to assess whether or not it is worth investing in the graphic novels.
“Image firsts” has always provided that medium. And with price in mind it’s “$1 editions” make them even more unavoidable to the curiosity part of our brains. Coming out May 1st are six new titles to add to the already 31 strong collection:
Peter Panzerfaust – A somewhat more gritty and “realistic” (in a loose sense) re-imagining of Peter Pan as an American boy in World War II France.

Great Pacific – A wealthy Texan claims a floating island of garbage twice the size of Texas as his problem to solve. I don’t know much about this one not having read it but it does seem more interesting than I am probably making it sound.
Also make sure that you don’t miss out on the upcoming comics “Ten Grand” and “Lazarus” if you want to own some true image firsts.
