IMAGE EXPO Keynote Reveals Lots of Comic Awesomeness!

This weekend, the Image Comics Expo is in full swing and iFanboy already has the scoop regarding several new announcements, all of which remind me why I love comics.

And every single one of these is creator owned.  After a decade of event mentality and corporate stupidity, it’s time to let DC and Marvel continue their downward spiral toward total apathy.
