So Much Damage: How Image Comics Changed the World, a five-part documentary from SYFY’s digital arm SYFY WIRE, which features interviews with McFarlane, Lee, Liefeld, and Kirkman, among others.
Image Comics is an American comic book publisher. It was founded in 1992 by several high-profile illustrators as a venue where comics creators could publish their material without giving up the copyrights to the characters they created, as creator-owned properties. It was immediately successful, and remains one of the largest comic book publishers in North America. Its output was originally dominated by superhero and fantasy series from the studios of the Image partners, but now includes comics in many genres by numerous independent creators. Its best-known series include Spawn, Savage Dragon, Witchblade, The Darkness, Invincible, The Walking Dead, Saga, and Chew.
I’d also recommend checking out The Image Revolution directed by Patrick Meaney from 2014. It is streaming on Amazon Prime Video and available digitally everywhere.

Sequart’s Image Comics Documentary Released Through Shout! Factory
Sequart Organization and Respect Films are proud to announce that Shout! Factory has picked up their documentary, The Image Revolution, for distribution! The Image Revolution examines one of the most important and daring moves in comic book history. In 1992, a group of top-tier artists left Marvel Comics to create their own company… a company that continues to influence mainstream comics and…

Fortunately we never lost power today, so I am still able to type this up, but as of now, 7:24 PM on Thursday, Jermaine and I have not made a decision on our business hours tomorrow! Stay tuned to our social media outlets for up-to-the-minute word on our openings and closings!
Resolution WEEK 7 Accountability: 16 full on books, 2 final issues and 2 penultimate issues! Still at 20 or less!
Stephen's So-Called Emo Life!
Image Revolution - great documentary by the folks that developed Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods and Warren Ellis: Ghost Boxes, going behind the scenes of the origins of Image Comics and the impact it's had over the last 20 years!
She Makes Comics Kickstarter - also by the people at the SequArt Research & Literacy Organization, but spotlighting the history of women in comics, going all the way back to the Golden Age! A $20 pledge gets you a digital copy of the movie when it comes out this summer, and while 2 of the 3 Kickstarter projects I have backed did not deliver on schedule, this group has a proven track record and does exceptional work!
Fresh Meat Series 3 - the best show on Hulu is back, this time released Netflix style with the whole season at once!
Drew: the Man Behind the Poster - yet another fantastic documentary, available on Netflix, about illustrator and painter Drew Struzan, the hand behind the Star Wars Original Trilogy Special Edition and prequels, Back to the Future, and Indiana Jones posters, among many, many others!
Derek Jeter Retirement - sad news that 2014 will be his last season, but it will all be worth it if a) he has the same kind of bounce-back-from-injury season that Mariano Rivera put together last year and b) I get to make a trip to the Cathedral to see him play one more time!
