Image Comics "Try Some, Buy Some"

I'm just like the next guy. I like to try something before I buy it. I mean, what better way is there to get a glimpse into whether or not you'll actually like the product you're about to spend your hard earned cash on? You may not think this is possible with comics, but Image Comics is deadset on proving you wrong...in a sense.

Coming this fall will be Image Comics' "Try Some, Buy Some" campaign. Basically, Image will be re-releasing 10 first issues as introductions to some of their flagship titles. Each issue will set you back only $1, so it's virtually free.

"Response to Image Firsts has been phenomenal," exclaims Image Publisher Eric Stephenson. "So, we are expanding the line with a second wave of IMAGE FIRSTS. Image Firsts is a fantastic way for readers to discover new titles and for retailers to introduce customers to Image's unsurpassed backlist."

The titles include The Darkness #1, Liberty Meadows #1, Wanted #1, I Kill Giants #1 and Mage #1. Honestly, where else are you able to get a #1 for $1? Full press release after the jump.
