Image Comics: Where Creators Own Style  

Style is what gives comics their swing, whether through visuals or dialogue. What kind of story are you telling? How cool is it? Joe Harris (SNOWFALL), Emi Lenox (PLUTONA), Riley Rossmo (RASPUTIN), Amy Clare (ISLAND), and a few special guests know all about style. Come and pick their brains and find out how to make comics sing.

Image Comics: Where Creators Own Drama

You scream when your favorite character moves off the page and you cheer when they finally get their way. Drama works! Join us as Joshua Williamson (NAILBITER), Steve Orlando (VIRGIL), Meredith McClaren (HINGES), Nick Barber (RINGSIDE), Jim Zub (WAYWARD), and a few special guests dig into just why drama is so crucial to storytelling.

Image Comics: Where Creators Own Collaboration

Writer, artist, colorist, letterer—comics are often a collaborative art form, and collaboration means cooperation. Ed Brisson (THE VIOLENT) writes, Lee Loughridge (WOLF) and Kelly Fitzpatrick (SNOWFALL) color, Ariana Maher (RINGSIDE) letters, and Jamie McKelvie (THE WICKED + THE DIVINE) draws. Working effectively as a team is crucial to making good work. Get some tips, tricks, and advice from these pros and a few guests.
