Head Lopper

The end of the year is a time of reflection in many ways, and that often means thinking about and assessing what the very best releases in any particular medium were. As we prepare to cross the threshold into 2017, we've been collecting some of the best covers of the year by publisher for your perusal, and today we're looking at fifty of the best comic book covers released from Image Comics in 2016.

Good news for fans of lopping who aren't so much into seeing heads remain attached to their bodies: After a few years of making the rounds as one of the best comics you could pick up at cons across the country, Andrew MacLean's awesome Head Lopper, with colors by Mike Spicer, is coming to Image as a four-issue miniseries.

If you ask me, there just aren't enough comics these days dedicated to people getting their heads lopped of. Sure, it happens every now and then, but what this world of ours really needs is a comic that is one hundred percent committed to decapitations. Thankfully, Andrew MacLean has stepped up to fill that void with Head Lopper. And it is awesome.
