I’m a little confused. Didn’t Kirkman sever ties with Marvel when he signed on to Image’s roster?

I am loving the new feed. Way to go Kevin! Your delivery, information and charisma are just great.
Keep it up.

I picked up Iredeemable #1 at the behest of my comic shop. I had been really curious about the Destroyer, so I will get it now. Thanks Kev!

I believe that Kirkman completed Destroyer prior to his manifesto. He mentioned it a few times in interviews when he was wrapping up Ultimate X-men.
It’s good to be back…expect another episode on Wednesday.

Wow, that Destroyer was pretty awesome! I first got into Kirkman because of VE’s reviews of Walking Dead. Now I am going back and reading the TPBs of Invincible.
I am really curious to see how Irredeemable pans out.
Anybody else reading Locke & Key? One of my new favorites.

Destroyer and Irredeemable #2 are out. Just read them.
Destroyer seemed like kind of a ‘linking’ issue. The first issue was really good and had a lot of exposition and action, where #2 seems to be more taking what we know and setting up the action for the third. The art was perfectly gory.
Irredeemable brought it hard in my opinion. Feels like they are spreading the back story across with some action very well. I really get the sense of how scary a rouge super duper powered hero would be. Yikes!
