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).

22. Deadly Class

Simply put, Deadly Class is the greatest ’80s action movie John Hughes never made. Rick Remender and Wes Craig have created a punk rock/crime/action/teen romance hybrid that never slows down in narrative, energy, violence or style. It’s a coming of age story told with guns, assassinations, and teenage drama; thrown at the reader like a Molotov cocktail.
