Last year, Image threw an epic convention over a weekend with announcements galore, including the eventual return of “Phonogram” and that Morrison would be coming to Image.
This year, Image Expo is going to be a little different. Held only on a Tuesday, it will be a day-long media event, featuring Robert Kirkman, Ed Brubaker and other “superstar creators.” It’s a shame that it’ll only be one day, but we can’t wait to hear what’s going to get announced this time.
Here’s the press release with more information.
