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).
3. Blue Monday
To start out with, Blue Monday is a personal favorite of mine. Initially published by Oni Press and now published by Image, Blue Monday is a delightful series written and drawn by Chynna Clugston Flores. You get to know Bleu and her friends as they go through high school with all its trials and tribulations. It’s hilarious at many points but so sincere as Flores relates these characters to you as a reader. It has a great soundtrack too as you get notes throughout the comic as to what music correlates with the scene. Add in the gorgeous coloring in the new trades by Jordie Bellaire and it becomes that much more spectacular. All this and more awaits in the wonderful world of Blue Monday.
