What can Marvel and DC learn from Image, besides the obvious “compensate creators well?”

Not-as-sarcastic-as-it-sounds answer: Image Expo is a great way to dominate headlines and control the press narrative.

Otherwise: Involve creators in decisions outside editorial/creative ones more, and also allow more creative freedom.

Also, looking at all the artists and writers migrating over from the Big Two to Image, I’d be interested in knowing what the expected sales usually are on independent books by established comics people with a fanbase built on superhero fare. Some of this may be too general to be answered, and I know you and Jamie already had a reputation before Marvel, but still.
  4. Why no mention at all of UK Marvel comics? I started collecting at 6, probably didn’t even *see* a US Marvel comic till about 11. Also, curious lack of any reference to Watchmen…
