Great first post. ShadowHawk remains my favorite Image series/character, so I really enjoyed reading it.

Definitely looking forward to the others.

yea it was touch and go weather or not Shadowhawk would make the top 20, it has been a rough series with some highs and lows but as one of the original titles it gets a lot of love from us old time Image fans (plus he is just a cool character concept)

My top 20 at 20, also in alphabetical order:

Amazing Joy Buzzards
Backlash
Battle Chasers
Bomb Queen
Chew
CyberForce
Dynamo 5
Gen 13
Girls
Hack/Slash
Morning Glories
NewMen
NYC Mech (and the 24/Seven GN)
Proof
ShadowHawk
Skullkickers
Small Gods
The Sword
The Walking Dead
WildC.A.T.S.

I debated on a few (such as Hack/Slash and Battle Chasers) because they either didn't begin at Image or haven't completed. But these are the comics that over the past two decades that always went to the top of my read pile when they came out, or that once I discovered them became instant favorites. There are still others (like Mice Templar, Ultra) that just barely missed the cut because of some of my nostalgia for the older stuff. And there are even more newer series that probably could eventually push something else out (The Activity, Green Wake, Fatale) given time. But right now these are my 20.

You both have SEVERAL that agree with the IA Top 20 list. It is amazing how many great books there have been over the past 20 years.

M'kay. Here is mine.

Age of Bronze
Astro City
A Touch of Silver
Chew
Dynamo 5
Forgetless
Girls
Golly
I Kill Giants
Invincible
Morning Glories
Noble Causes
Proof
Savage Dragon
Spawn
The Sword
The Walking Dead
True Story Swear To God
Ultra
Vignettes


If I had to choose one mini it would be I Kill Giants. One ongoing would be Invincible. The two are fantastic examples of what the medium could be and should be, respectively.

Great list by the guys above and it proves how hard this list is to limit to just 20 books.... this week we look at #19......
