In the quiet early hours of Saturday in New York Comic-Con's press lounge, Marjorie Liu chatted with The Beat about her new Image title "Monstress" with artist Sana Takeda, systemic racism, the expectations places on creators of color, and the intergenerational trauma of war.

Aloha Hawaiian Dick looks great and deserves to sell more copies; I am very impressed by both story and art, I also buy every issue of Low and Outcast. This company is doing things right: every title is its own universe and independent concept.
I hope that comic readers will support Image titles, they are fresh and interesting. (and I don’t work for them, ha ha) Bravo.
Look at how many creators fled Marvel and DC to do their own thing at Image. Are fanboys really just interested in capes and tights, or quality work by creators who love what they do?
Considering that good chunk of them are selling below DC/Marvel cancellation levels I’d think that people are reading DC/Marvel for creators AND characters,
Skottie, most of these numbers are even worse than DC and Marvel. It’s admirable you’re always on these every month championing creator owned books but you’ve never said anything more than “Buy creator books!” Which ones in particular do you think everyone should be buying?
Seems to be mostly about charcater than creators; Recently Ted McKeever (who hasn’t done work for the Big 2 in years) announced he was levaing comics, becuase his heart is not into it. How many will follow suit?

Since I cannot edit or remove, here goes, fixed typos:
Seems to be mostly about characters than creators; Recently Ted McKeever (who hasn’t done work for the Big 2 in years) announced he was leaving comics, because his heart was not into it anymore. How many will follow suit?
“Skottie, most of these numbers are even worse than DC and Marvel.”
Which means . . . what? The creators are actually making more money from these numbers at Image than the page rate at Marvel or DC. Scott Snyder famously said he makes multiples on Wytches than what he earns from writing Batman.
If you’re so concerned about lower Image numbers, then fucking buy their books and help out.
We have to remember that mine gold for creator-owned books are in the trades,a lot of books that are performing poorly on this chart are doing very fine on Amazon e etc.
I read quite a bunch of Image Waking Dead, Invincilbe, Nailbitter, Citizen Jack, Huck + tons others.. Not all people pick up a comic based on who did it. I dont think I have ever picked up a comic based solely on creative team. I will though not pick up a series based on writer or artist when they have a track record of not releasing books before moving onto other projects. Tony Harris how many projects got abandoned by him. Anything Bryan Hitch Image title Real Heroes. Any non Marvel Rob Liefeld title if you get 2 issues it is a shock. If the book grabs me will read it but honestly could care less about creative team
Gra^hic Inida (kind of a revival of the late Virgin Comics) is also an editor with very nice products, at an amazing price (everything is $3 with often more than 20p per story). Grant Morrisson’s 18 Days is amazing and Chakra and Devi aslo look interesting. But I don’t think any of their title ever make it to the Top300 :(sc
