| Released via an official statement that reads, in part: “ We love what we do. But loving what you do doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't ask for improvements to your working conditions. It is with this in mind and with great hope for the future of Image Comics and the comic book industry itself that we announce our intent to form a union and request voluntary recognition.”  |

| "In the early stages of organizing, we looked to Image's founders for inspiration. Their dreams of self-determination and more equitable treatment in the industry they loved and helped make successful are also our dreams. We are honored to grow their legacy by taking this step to give all comic book industry professionals, regardless of title, the same rights, guarantees, security, and protections which the founders sought when they broke away from the big two to start their own company" This is one of those statements that just drips with irony. Inspiration from the founders? The founders of Image didn't form a union to negotiate for more control, they went and started their own company. It also implies that the founders of Image are no better than the bosses they left behind. |

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

| I thought Image was an umbrella for publishing books from a bunch of different companies. Has something changed since I quit paying attention to them? | ||

| I did not recognize any of the creatives. So I googled a few of them, they were in talent acquisition, marketing, accounting, etc. A union for comic admin? Or have artists not signed yet | ||

| Actually, it makes sense to me. Lots of grunt work, none of the accolades, and possibly getting shabby treatment because they aren't the 'creative' end of things, even though the creation doesn't happen without their assistance. I've definitely been in job situations like this before. | ||
