Storm Dogs #1 and Comeback #1 Go Free

Storm Dogs and Comeback are just two of the many quality books that Image Comics is putting out these days. The publisher is crushing it when it comes to quality and quantity, so it's time the publisher gave a little something back. The debut issues of the aforementioned series are now free at comiXology and the Image Comics digital site and app.

"The free digital firsts are a great way for people who may have missed the print issues to get started reading a new series," said Image Comics PR and Marketing Director, Jennifer de Guzman. "Storm Dogs and Comeback have excellent receptions and reviews, and we don't want people to have to delay reading them. New fans can either follow up at their local comics shop or continue buying the series digitally — whichever they prefer."

Storm Dogs is by David Hine and Doug Braithwaite and depicts an alien world, futuristic technology and taut procedural mystery story. The second issue hit stores December 5 and the third issue hits stores January 16. Comeback is by Ed Brisson and Michael Walsh. It features an organization who time travels for profit and the consequences of messing with the past and future.
