I admit to always enjoying a good riff at the kind folks at Image comics. With the success they’ve been seeing thus far in 2011, they have a lot to smile about.

Still, one does have to wonder why they haven’t done the math yet to realize that maybe, just maybe, they ought to print a couple more copies of their #1 series launches.

But if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a 3rd printing of Infinite Vacation to read.

Today’s Image Central page was done by Travis Sengaus:

Travis Sengaus is a Canadian comic book artist, who's first published work was a back up story in Savage Dragon #122. He has since worked in small press books, the Adventures of Spawn web comic, and various licensing work for Marvel.  Currently he's working on the creator owned property "Big Hitters" with Jonathan Goff (Spawn, Halo Evolutions), which will see release in 2011.

As Ed is still on vacation (ridiculous, right?), today’s page was colored by Richard Clarke:

Born in a crossfire hurricane (actually Cleveland, OH), Richard P. Clark's illustration career began in 1993 while still an undergraduate at The Columbus College of Art and Design. Since then, he's worked for a wildly varied list of clients in several industries-among them HBO, Playboy, The Wall Street Journal and Alcoholics Anonymous. He's been finding work again in the Comic Industry, including a recent job for Dark Horse providing finishes over Darick Robertson's breakdowns for The Guild-Vork comic. He's hoping this recent turn into the comic lane sticks as there are literally scores of stories he'd like to unleash on the world. Mr. Clark currently resides in Upstate NY after a 10-year tour of duty in Brooklyn with his wife, daughter and a goofy dog named Barnaby.

Have a fantastic weekend, folks, and we’ll see you back here on Monday.
