Reign

Bursting onto the scene in 1993 courtesy of creators Marat Mychaels and Eric Stephenson, Reign is a product of Image Comics' bold, boundary-pushing early years — a Copper/Modern Age figure who carved out a genuine niche across some of the publisher's most energetic titles. With 51 catalogued appearances spanning Brigade, NewMen, and Prophet, this is a character who clearly resonated beyond a single series, keeping company with the likes of Lisa Richards, Byrd, Adam Booth, Derrick Rowland, and Exit along the way. Three of those appearances carry key-issue status, making Reign a name that savvy collectors have circled for good reason. If you're exploring the wild, ambitious frontier of early Image Comics, Reign is exactly the kind of figure worth tracking down.
