Image Comics Weekly 7/10/12

I had a look at three comics from Image coming out tomorrow. The first and probably my favorite of the three is:

Chew: Secret Agent Poyo (One-Shot)

Chew is a series I’ve been wanting to start but haven’t gotten around to yet. I hear it’s an amazing title but I’ve got a long ways to catch up. But I saw there was a one shot starring a badass rooster so I thought I’d give it a try. This is a fantastic read, very funny, and exactly what you should expect from a book about a total badass homicidal rooster.

Price: $3.50

Hoax Hunters #1

A reality TV show in a comic book. This book follows a crew that go out and try to disprove hoaxes and tall tales. Of course they have a hidden agenda, because secretly they actually know a lot of those hoaxes are true, they’re just trying to settle problems among the communities of monsters and make sure that other would be hunters don’t come upon the living legends. The story starts when some weird things start to go down in the swamps of Louisiana. The crew has to find out what’s going on while filming their own show on why there isn’t anything going on. This book is being done by a lot of the same people involved with the next title Revival.

Price: $2.99

Revival #1

The cover of this title worried me but once I got into the story I really liked it. This one is about a small town where everyone who was once dead is now coming back to life. But for some reason it’s only happening within some radius and so the government has basically quarantined the area so no one can get in or out. People in the area still have to live their lives, yet now some of their dead loved ones have now come back to life. Keeping it to one location is a good move as we can get to know the characters and not have to worry to much about what is happening outside of the town. The book also has a good amount of action in it and a hell of a lot of religious allusions. Could you imagine the religious fervor that would occur if the dead were coming back to life? Well this book imagines it and puts it to print. The story comes to us from Tim Seeley who has been working on Hack/Slash.

Price: $2.99
