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).

23. The Humans

One of the newer titles to be put out by Image, The Humans by Keenan Marshall Keller and Tim Neely is a ‘70s grindhouse biker movie on the printed page. Oh yeah, but everyone is also a monkey. The anthropomorphic aspect is just one of the many great things about this title. Beautifully illustrated, it is filled with crime, drugs, and Sons of Anarchy inspired drama, The Humans is a true original in Image’s current line-up and in comics in general.
