Not to worry, because ya boy got your back! Here's my list of the best Image titles for beginners, and I'm sure the comments will be filled with other great recommendations!

I can definitely recommend Paper Girls, was my top read of 2020 and a really solid series! Might not be for everyone but I loved it.
Great list Dogg! Still need to check some of these out.
Lazarus and Paper Girls are the two I’d add to the mix. Lazarus in particular has superb world building and a great narrative. Paper Girls takes a little time to get going but then barrels along to its conclusion. Both really great strips. Both accessible.
Lazarus is super underrated.
I finnished watching the Jupiters Legacy season 1 last night!
Really appreciate your recommendations, great vid!!
Woof woof 🐶, all of these picks are timeless classics. If people are sleeping on image comics they’re missing out some of the best stories there are. Good job Marcus for bringing some love to these books they deserve the praise almost as much as you do. Keep it up brother 👌🏻🔥🏴
Might pick up deadly class after your recommendation. I don’t think you can stress enough how good invincible is, and I’m only on book 8…
And you should pick up fairyland vol 2! It’s so damn amazing
Saga sound so epic !
Great video Marcus!
These videos are really helpful. I need to order these books online and have them shipped to me in a different country. It's good to know which titles are great to start reading and collecting. Woof woof.
Thanks for this Maddogg. Recently started Invincible and Spawn so its great to see where else to go at Image.
Also recently started Invincible and Spawn. I've read the first few Spawn Origins TPBs and I got issue 1 of Invincible on FCBD. Really loving Spawn, thought the first issue of Invincible was pretty interesting, and will be picking up some TPBs or compendium 1 pretty soon.
Great vid a few of these I haven't heard of before I'm gonna try de of these out 🔥🔥🔥🔥😁🔥🔥🔥🔥💪😁💪
Yet another great list and video from a fellow Marcus ^^
Good video, Marcus. I’ve been picking up the Walking Dead Deluxe colourized issues that they have been releasing every couple of weeks and really enjoying it. I watched some of the TV show but never read the comic, and I’m liking the differences so far. Excited to see how it unfolds. Woof woof!
Subscribed 100% cuz of your power rangers in tge background 😅 looking forward to checking out more of your videos :)
Saga is fantastic I’m ready for more!!
Proud to say I own all of these 😁 but sadly I don't have invincible in hardcover. Never knew you existed mate but glad to see another British comic collector on the tube
Great video mate. I’m currently halfway through the second compendium of invincible and I’m loving it. One image title I’d recommend is The Last Christmas by Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn. It follows Santa as he travels to San Francisco to kill the last kid that believes in him so he can finally die. He ends up having to try and save the kid from zombies. It’s very stupid and so just read it with an open mind haha.
This is the video ive been waiting for the most from you Maddogg. As a beginner for non big 2 this is super helpful😎 you're the man.😀
Planning on getting invincible, spawn, nailbiter, kill or be killed.
Maybe saga, deadly class, Jupiter legacy.
Ps loved the woof woof intro.😀
YOOO Big ups from California! Definitely check out UltraMega by Image. Its in single issues right now but the first two are spectacular!
Some good choices there, a few I haven't read yet. I'd add Wicked + Divine, Gideon Falls, Middlewest, Lazarus and Phonogram as great places to start for lots of different tastes.
Great video, great list! 👍 little bird and black magick would be my image recommendations!
Not read little bird myself, but black magick is great!
@@barryponsford2433 little bird is totally different but I loved it and I can’t wait for more Black Magick!
I'd also highly recommend Head Lopper, Little Bird, Ultramega, and East of West
Nice video thanks 👍❤
Chew is amazing I need a tv show already. My recommendations would be Sex Criminals, Lazarus, and Descender. Great list though Maddog I own all those books.
Radiant Black and the The Massive Verse are some I would add to this list
Great list!👍👍👍🤖💭
Great list! There are so many great Image series.
I Hate Fairyland is so underrated.
Not sure if you have read Descender by Lemire but that is a great series!
Descender is a masterpiece.
top noch recomendations Maddogg! If i have to pick JUST ONE it would be invincible, superb comic but this list is A++! All of them are great...
Great and Informative video. I only ever read spawn
Glad you enjoyed it mate! I've reviewed a few Image titles on the channel as well, so one of them might interest you too! WOOF WOOF!
Just got into crime comics. Can't believe I forgot Chew.
My favorite Image comics are Daniel Warren Johnson’s Murder Falcon and Justin Jordan/Tradd Moore’s Luther Strode series
Would love to have seen Supreme in here as well. However like he said, read what catches your eye
Can you do a where to start for Dark Horse Vertigo, and more non Marvel.or DC stuff
My fav titles are Nailbiter, Birthright and TWD. Also Invincible.
Is the Weatherman, Postal, The Realm and Lazurus coming back?
I got I hate fairyland for my birthday and it looks awesome
I love Image... good vid. Kill or be killed omnibus and deadly class hardcover are hard to find, know of any way to get It? Also, have you read Universe! by Albert Monteys?
Deadly class will probably get reprints when Deluxe vol 3 comes out I’m guessing. You’ll be waiting years for that Kill or Be Killed though honestly that’s how it usually is with Brubaker. If it even ever does get a reprint. I wouldn’t count on it. I’d honestly buy it now before the aftermarket prices get any more unreasonable.
I agree with Alex. Kill or Be Killed sold out very quickly and it took me months to find a copy at a decent price. I lucked out when someone was selling their Brubaker collection. So, I scored that and both Fatale volumes for a pretty good price.
I love I hate fairyland land too was such a fun ride of a book
You definitely need to read Paper Girls. When the TV show comes out, it’s going to be the next Stranger Things
RE The Walking Dead - I suggest for people who are interested in taking a plunge you can usually get the whole "absolutes" amount for about 200 lightly used on ebay every couple of months.
I Hate Fairyland does look interesting. ill be picking them up soon.
Not to cause FOMO, but here in the UK the HC's don't seem to be that available at the moment
🤔...Deadly Class and I Hate Fairyland look pretty awesome...🤘🏼💯✔️
Interesting chooses my dude I can't say I agree cause I dont really read modern day comics im more of a 90's image fanboy.
I like both TWD show and comic
No Kick-ass or Paper Girls?
Can’t believe east of west year 3 is already OOS everywhere! It just got a re print I guess I wasn’t fast enough
It is still available at Forbidden Planet in the UK...if that helps 👍🏻
@@ryanoconnor5826 I’m in the states sadly
@@sharebear421 Not sure how much shipping would be to the US but Indigo in Canada has it in stock!
I have an idea for image comics “old man mark”
No Fire Power?
Loved Skyward
I'm excited to read the ending! Thanks for watching! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
I have been loving Image lately. I wish Deadly Class would be reprinted....
Just got the first 15 trade paperback volumes of the walking dead yesterday for 30$ TWD
Insane
I would say either Spawn or Invincible
Here are a couple of (superior) recommendations (JK MD lol:) Southern Bastards- recommended for anyone who likes comics, maybe some people who don't. This is a crime drama, I don't like crime dramas and I'm comfortable calling it one of the best comics of the last 20 years. Try it.
Lazarus- recommended for fans of intelligent drama or low sci-fi. Rucka is one of the best writers of this generation and he flexes on this book.
Five Ghosts- recommended for fans of Indiana Jones and similar types of pulp fiction.
C.O.W.L.- recommended for fans of superheros, crime-noir, or anyone that likes badass comics with great art and writing.
"I didn't realize that piracy was bad"
Me: It is so what? giggles
You need to stop saying “woof woof” it’s unnecessary and annoying,your content is really good and professional and this lets it down 👍
U should read berserk manga
Can you do a video on where to start reading teenage mutant ninja turtles please
That's a pretty easy one, I recommend picking up the IDW collection hardcovers. They go in and out of print but they should always become available again at some point. Book 1 is the very beginning of the story (completely rebooted, no need to read the 80's stuff) and it's a pretty consistently awesome and fun time, at least the parts I have read so far. I'm a bit behind now but I know people are still enjoying it. For most people that read this run, they pretty much agree that it's the definitive version of the turtles. The hardcovers are definitely the most straightforward way to read the series too, since it does a really good job of mapping out the main series and all of the various spin-offs and mini series into the best reading order.
@@ComicBound thanks for the help
TWD show is great
In all fairness, I was hoping to see Gen 13.
Haven't read too much of it myself, but it's on my to-buy list! Thanks for watching! WOOF WOOF! 🐶
yay spawn
Chew was very good. Just finished it. Ending was eh
Season 1 of the walking dead was fucking awesome... It's what drove me back to comics and buying collected editions. however, I stopped watching after season 4, because it cannot compare to the comic.
Thank you for the list but I find it's really jarring to listen with all the cutting and splicing of the video. Almost every sentence.
the same way you feel about the walking dead TV show is the same way I feel about the invincible TV show.
Why whats srong with it
I like the walking dead comic and tv series. But i think the tv series tends to have a pacing problem.
The only Image I want to see is you not uploading 🤷♂️
There's a block button for that. But good to know you waste your time commenting on stuff you don't like.
@@gabrielcarrasco8414 marcus townsend is maddogg
@@ivanpopov2727 My bad, didn't know that.
@@gabrielcarrasco8414 nah you good. Good on ya for sticking up for him
one of the worlds biggest unsolved mysteries and conspiracy surrounding maddogg.😉😋
Is he the same man or has a clone replaced Marcus or maybe not even human.....😂
Deadly Class is cool. Saga and East of West are so overrated
saga is very overrated, i would not consider it even scifi, more like insult to scifi comics
I enjoyed this video, Marcus. Great work!
My first foray into Image Comics was Murder Falcon (thanks to my wife). It's a fun read with pretty good magical realism in it. Reflecting now, fans of Donny Cates' God Country or Joe Kelly's I Kill Giants will enjoy it, if you're looking for a heavy metal spin to such stories.
