[...] Stephenson’s in, Larsen’s out at Image. Whither the Savage Dragon? [...]

I hear a lot of people say they want more SAVAGE DRAGON now, please, so this news should delight them.

For my part, I’ve really enjoyed the diverse collection of titles that Erik Larsen’s Image publishes — zombies, super-heroes, romantic comedy, war, historic adventures, etc., etc. My only request of the new regime is that it continue in that unpredictable direction.

Larsen did a great job transitioning Image into what is basically an indy (in the aesthetic sense anyway) comics company. Now it will be exciting to see how Stephenson makes the turn into its next phase- he seems like the right guy for the job. Plus, any time an original Image founder can make more books is a good thing for them I think.

If this gets Mr. Larsen pushing more art boards around then I think this is a win-win situation for everyone at Image and the readers. Congrats to Mr. Stephenson. It sounds like this is the perfect job for him to move into with his credentials. I look forward to the future of Image.

Sounds like a smooth transition. I look forward to Erik drawing more. He still did a lot of work even while being the publisher. He colored those jack kirby reprint books and still managed to write, pencil and color Savage Dragon issues. Also he contributed to Popgun anthology.

It really is great what Larsen has done for Image. I hope he has a great time, doing what he loves.
