Já escrevi sobre esse assunto por aqui: no ano que Y – O Último Homem chega ao fim no Brasil, Brian K. Vaughan voltou a publicar uma hq nos Estados Unidos após um intervalo de quase quatro anos. O primeiro encadernado de Saga acabou de sair e Vaughan está construindo algo tão épico quanto Y. Além da qualidade da história, Saga talvez seja a principal referência do que aparenta ser uma nova Image. Do que li dessa nova safra, recomendo Saga e Fatale – essa última do Ed Brubaker. Enfim, 2012 marcou o início de algo grande para a editora de Todd McFarlane.
“My hope is that this will be the longest, best series I’ve ever been a part of, so my new goal is to go exactly one issue longer than wherever The Walking Dead ends. I know Kirkman already has a hundred-issue head start, but I’m confident I can outlive the bastard, especially with his hard-partying Hollywood lifestyle.” – Brian K. Vaughan.
“Part of what we do is make good comics, and we want to be the best version of Image Comics. But part of what we do is create a sustainable market. It has to be a part of what we do. Things like Saga and Walking Dead andFatale, these are things that people want to return to. People can recommend these things to their friends, even people that don’t read comics. As opposed to tailchasing events, these yearly spike makers, but who’s going to be talking about AvX ten years from now?” – Eric Stephenson, editor da Image.
