Jim Lee invited me to join. I was already committed to Dark Horse.
What would have been different? I'd have had the only Image book that came out monthly and had low sales.
**********
John Byrne's Next Men did pretty well for Dark Horse, with the first issue setting a sales record for a direct sales only comic, if I'm remembering correctly. I'm only speculating, of course, but I think if Next Men had come out under Image, those early issues would have had even higher sales, similar to the early issues of the other Image books. Its monthly status would have helped Image's, er, image somewhat. Eventually, after the speculation fever wore off, I think sales of Next Men and the other Image books would have stabilized at about the same point they did anyway. Of course, by this time I think you'd have likely dropped out of Image and gone to Dark Horse or somewhere else anyway.
Edited to add: It's post 334, more than a third on the way to 1000! Of course, JB has posted more than this since he reached 25,000 posts--just over a week ago. Sigh.
