Go, Read: Image Comics Announces Major Digital Initiative + Multiple Series At Their Expo

Kiel Phegley's on the ground there, apparently; I trust him to report back in accurate fashion. I'm going to play catch on this one until at least tomorrow.

I will say this, though. I think Image had done a really nice job building its market share the last few years, but I think it's for a variety of reasons and not solely the "opportunities for creative expression" reason that gets put out there I believe because a) it's good rhetoric, b) it distinguishes these books from the books at DC and Marvel. I'd be careful of biting down hard on that as a sole explanation of why they're doing so well.

It also looks like they're going to relaunch their sometimes-criticized web site as an aggressive all-formats digital comics store. That's interesting.
