Monkeys Fighting Robots

We’re celebrating Image Comics‘ 25th anniversary all this week by breaking down the company’s all-time best 25 series. With so much diversity in its catalog, Image truly has comics for everyone. Check them out for yourself! And leave some of your own favorites in the comments.

This celebration was originally published as a five-part series, but has been consolidated here for your convenience. Thanks to writers Tony Wendel, Nick Enquist, Wes Messer, and Manny Gomez (who thought of and organized this project).

7. Black Science

This comic is very reminiscent of Lost in Space on meth. If Descender is like taking a boat ride through uncharted waters, then Black Science is like being on a speed boat on a waterfall. This comic moves a mile a minute as its protagonists, The Anarchistic League of Scientists, travel through different parallel dimensions. Writer Rick Remender knows how to constantly up the stakes, and throw curve balls at the readers. Artists Matteo Scalera and Dean White generate beautiful, dynamic panels that are glorious to look at. This is definitely the wild ride that you need in your life.
