Twenty years ago, seven superstar artists left Marvel Comics to create their own company, Image Comics, a company that continues to influence mainstream comics and pop culture to this day. Image began as more than just a publisher - it was a response to years of creator mistreatment, and changed comics forever. The Image Revolution tells the story of Image Comics, from its founders' work at Marvel, through Image's early success, company difficulties during the comics market implosion, and ultimately the publisher's new generation of properties like The Walking Dead. Filled with colorful characters, the film is a clarion call to artists to take control of their destiny.

Reviews

Really fascinating doc on the

"Really fascinating doc on the formation of Inage comics, a comic company made of up a bunch of disgruntled employees formerly working at Marvel and DC. If you’re into comics, Todd McFarlane, Spawn, Jim Lee, etc. then this is a must watch! Like the artwork on the slipcover as well and you get 75 min. of additional interviews!"

Comic Fans Rejoice

"The Image Revolution is an engaging look at how Image Comics disrupted the industry by putting creators first. It does a great job breaking down the risks and personalities involved, especially the influence of figures like Todd McFarlane and his peers. It’s a fun, informative watch that captures both the rebellious energy of the movement and its lasting impact on comics."

Shawn M. (5/5)

Nice doc

"Interviews with all the major players make for a good watch. Nostalgic for comic fans of the time and informative for everyone else. Quick 80 minutes doesn't overstay its welcome. You get a pretty good picture of these artists, both the good and the bad, and the difficulties of being groundbreakers business wise while maintaining your artistic output."

Ed K. (5/5)

I love this doc!

"I was a kid of the 90s and I remember a time when Image Comics were the coolest thing at the comic book store. As I got older and started collecting back issues of X-Men and Spider-man comics I became fascinated how all the hottest artist at Marvel, who were selling millions of comics, just got up and left to form their own Comic company where they owned their own characters. This documentary tells that story and more as the history of Image Comics. Loved it!"
