Creators come to Image Comics for freedom, channeling their biggest ideas into sequential art without obstacle. It’s an environment that empowers storytellers, artists, and craftsfolk to escort their brightest dreams into reality. This panel features ascending comic professionals from all walks—writers, artists, editors—who launched their Image comics within the past few years. Join Tee Franklin (Bingo Love), Megan Hutchison (Rockstars), Meredith McClaren (Twisted Romance/Hinges), Kyle Starks (Rock Candy Mountain), and a few special guests as they discuss the paths they took to achieve their passion projects.

Image Comics: We Believe In Imagination                      
Comics offer a limitless canvas for expression. Without the constraints of special effects budgets or runtimes, the medium stands at the crest of mind-bending, boundary-pushing storytelling, relentlessly challenging the conventions of fiction—especially in science fiction and fantasy. Narrative cosmonauts Morgan Beem (The Family Trade), Ryan Browne (Curse Words), Sloane Leong (Prism Stalker), Ram V (Paradiso), and Kyle Higgins (The Dead Hand) create realities designed to enthrall. Come discover the methods of their madness.

Image Comics: We Believe In Creativity                      
From scam-artist cops infecting LA’s underbelly to rampaging volcano goddesses, these new comics take full advantage of every geography and era. But how do cartoonists trip on these intoxicating worlds, and how do they evolve? John Layman (Chew), Donny Cates (God Country, Redneck), Johnnie Christmas (Firebug), Steve Lieber (The Fix), Pornsak Pichetshote (Infidel), and Anthony Del Col (Son of Hitler) chat about cultivating new genres for new audiences.

Image Comics: We Believe In Storytelling                      
What do Charles Soule (Curse Words), Tini Howard (Hack/Slash: Resurrection), Jacob Semahn (No. 1 With A Bullet), Jim Zub (Wayward), and Farel Dalrymple (Proxima Centauri) have in common? They craft the mythologies of today. Do you want to learn more about creating comics? Do you want to learn how character, plot, rhythm, and dialogue combine in the best stories?
