Best Image Comics: Week of April 10, 2024

This week in Image Comics has a little bit of everything from giant robots to ghosts and a crazy axe-wielding girl with green hair. But as absurd as that all sounds, the best thing about these comics I’m alluding to is that they’re all made by some of the best creators working in the industry today. Even though this week is a little bit shorter than usual, it is packed with banger titles to choose from! So, whether you pick up one over the other, or maybe even all of them, you’re in for some great reads to help get you through the week. Now, let’s get to my picks of the best comics to have on your pull list.
