Youngblood reaches issue #100 this year, and the celebration includes variant covers from several of the biggest names in comics. The milestone issue shines a spotlight on one of the series that helped establish Image Comics and the creator-owned movement.

Image Comics is preparing to launch The Last Driver, a brand-new creator-owned comic from Sean Gordon Murphy. Known for projects like Batman White Knight and Tokyo Ghost, Murphy’s newest story throws readers into a dangerous future where driving cars has become illegal and rebellion is building beneath the surface.
Friends, family, comic creators, and supporters are coming together following the passing of John Ulloa, owner of Creature Entertainment. A GoFundMe campaign has been created to help support his family during this heartbreaking time as members of the indie comic community continue sharing memories, condolences, and support.
Sometimes a comic just hits differently. D’orc dropped from Image Comics and immediately sold out. The second printing? Nearly 25,000 orders. That’s not normal for a new series, and it’s got people comparing it to launches like Saga, The Department of Truth, and Stray Dogs. Brett Bean created this half-dwarf, half-orc character who’s supposedly fated to destroy the world, but he’s just trying to make friends. He’s got a magic shield that won’t shut up and a ghost chicken with its head cut off as companions. The book mixes high fantasy with deadpan humor and serious violence, and readers are connecting with it hard.
