I've been following all of the exciting news coming out of the Image Expo this week, but my eyes always light up when I see mention of Saga writer, Brian K. Vaughan's name. After speaking about his upcoming new series, Paper Girls, he shared his perspective on Image as a whole with the crowd. This was highlighted a few times throughout my Twitter feed.

So what exactly makes Image comics have this non-competitive feel, I wonder? Is it simply because there are so many people with different ideas coming together that they don't have time to compete with one another? We know that they have a lot of creator owned comics, and as a reader, I happen to gravitate towards them more and more. Every Wednesday when I gaze at the new releases, if I spot a #1 issue from Image, I instantly grab it. Over the past few months, Image has released a few first issues that I found very intriguing: Drifter, Sinergy, The Humans and ODY-C come to mind. Maybe it's just me, but it is nice to read some comics that focus on an original concept. Dare I say…sometimes I like reading things that don't feature superheroes?

Deb Aoki quotes Vaughan as saying:

I've heard some complaints about how many new books Image is pumping out, but there's nothing wrong with it to me. The more fresh ideas, the better! So, what do you think? Do you gravitate towards Image titles?
