You Love EGOs!



And we love you! The response to issue #1 has been simply stunning; we are beyond overwhelmed—we are uber-whelmed. Here’s a sample of what the reviewers are saying:

“Stuart Moore and Gus Storms' EGOs #1 is ballsy and super fun with plenty of edge as it takes superheroes and sci-fi, grabs them by the lapels and throws them out on the street, but all in love. This is a great mix of superheroes and sci-fi that feels smart and new and I cannot wait to see where they go from here.”
            -Kelly Thompson, Comic Book Resources (5 star review)

“EGOs is an ambitious sci-fi story. There is a lot going on, but the story is unlike anything I am reading right now. The characters and their relationships are funny and entertaining. The villain is powerful and a real threat to the universe. This comic has all the elements that any sci-fi fan would want in one book.”
            -Victor Rojas, Eat Geek Play

EGOs has to be the nicest surprise for me this week. It’s a fun yet weighty beginning to an adventure that will undoubtedly explore an aging hero’s tenuous grasp of relevance and respectability, his willingness to justify ends over means and what that will hold for a universe under the threat of truly cosmic peril, all brought to life visually by a very talented relative newcomer.”
            -Steve Paugh, Comic Bastards

“Moore’s script is evenly balance with characterization, mystery, and action to make this series’ debut a strong one. Newcomer artist Gus Storms’ cartoony style is fits this sci-fi story well; his characters are full of emotion and his pencils have a quirky, fun look.”
            - Chris Romero, Geeks Unleashed

“Image seems to be firing on all cylinders lately with what feels like an exciting new series getting launched each and every month.  EGOs continues that trend with a first issue that’s extremely entertaining and takes you in a direction at the end that I just didn’t see coming.”
            -Shawn Hoklas, Comic Spectrum

“The first issue gets off to a nice start and lays the foundation for a really interesting story. Both solid story and art that brings back a really good science fiction story in comics. Recommended.”
            -Steven Howearth, Pop Culture Maven

“I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the engaging beginning to a hopefully fantastic series…Bring on issue two!”
            -Alex Rupp, Nothing But Comics

“Get to your shop now if you haven’t already and pick up EGOs #1. It has a fantastic story delivered through pitch-perfect writing and magnificent artwork from a great new industry talent.”
            -Joey Caswell, All-Comic

TWENTY DAYS OF EGOs
Counting down to Issue #1, 1/15/14!
Day 1*: We have liftoff!


"I've known Stuart Moore since his days at Vertigo, and I always thought he was one of the very smartest minds in our industry. I'm delighted that he's writing a new book for my friends at Image, especially because EGOs is his best story yet."
-Brian K. Vaughan (SAGA, The Private Eye)

"Stuart Moore was one of comics' greatest editors precisely because he's a great writer. Everything he writes demands attention."
-Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Planetary)

"With EGOs, Stuart Moore's thoughtful writing style really comes into its own. I look forward to following this one as it develops—very highly recommended."
-Garth Ennis (Preacher, Fury MAX)

“EGOs sets up house at the junction of superhero stories and big-ideas sci-fi—then trashes the junction and builds its own huge, insane theme park.”
-Mike Carey (The Unwritten, Lucifer)

"Expect nerdy, layered sci-fi, superhero hijinks, all mixed together with a quirky sense of humor."
-Comics Grinder

"There is a lot of love in the first issue of EGOs. When I say there is a lot to love I mean there is literally a lot to take in and all of it is incredible."
-Rhymes With Geek

"An intelligent sci-fi comic with superhero overtones, realistic characters and more creativity than it knows what to do with, EGOs is going to be an extremely interesting read over the next couple of issues, and I for one can’t wait to see where this particular story is headed." 
-Big Comic Page

And don't forget our signing tonight at JHU COMIC BOOKS IN MANHATTAN—32 West 32nd Street, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM!



*Yes, this should really be Day 0. But counting is hard!
