In 1992, Marvel Comics was the number-one publisher of comic books in the world, largely due to its dynamic artwork. But as a response to what was believed to be years of mistreatment toward creative talent by the industry's leading publishers, a small - but influential - group of artists left Marvel Comics at the height of its popularity to form their own company, Image Comics. Led by the outspoken Todd McFarlane (Spawn), this group kicked off a revolution that would change the comics industry forever, instantly granting power to creators and launching Image to "rock star" status. But with great power came great turmoil, as Rob Liefeld (Deadpool), Jim Lee (X-Men), Marc Silvestri (Wolverine), Erik Larsen (Savage Dragon), Whilce Portacio (X-Factor) and Jim Valentino (Guardians Of The Galaxy) almost immediately began to unravel the very bond that united them.
Through rare archival footage and brand-new interviews with all seven founders, as well as industry insiders, comics historians and current Image Comics creators like Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), The Image Revolution brilliantly tells the story of the rise, fall and triumphant return of one of the most successful publishers in comic book history.

I'm almost 30 years old. I've read Batman and Spider-Man and Superman and all kinds of comics my whole life but I'm just now getting into the Image guys. I've heard from people older than me say that these comics are no good and don't get me wrong. I love Moore and Miller and Morrison and Gaiman as much as we all do but Image comics and their creators were just fun.

I remember when IMAGE first appeared in the early '90's when i was a teen at the time when comics, art and music were hot in the '90's the era that changed everything good times and bad but were good if not great. Personally i'm a huge fan of both MARVEL and IMAGE comics after all i grew up with the likes of the 7 comic book artist from this video that started it all when they came from MARVEL then created IMAGE comics few years later when to me it's a win win two way street when you'll never go wrong with either MARVEL or IMAGE comics when it came to the 7 comic book artist that changed the comic book industry. My favorite comic book artists are: Jim Lee, Marc Silvestri and Todd McFarland my first IMAGE comic was the SHADOW HAWK by Jim Valentino. Then later in the mid '90's came my other favorite comic book artists are: Greg Capullo, Michael Turner and David Finch and of course Tony Daniel, all great artists.
