Image Comics has announced that it will adopt a rating system for its comics based on the one used by DC Comics since its departure from the Comics Code Authority at the beginning of this year (see “DC Leaves Comics Code”). The ratings system will be used for both Image’s print and digital releases.
The four ratings are:
- E -- Everyone (all ages, may contain minimal violence)
- T -- Teen (12 and up, may contain mild violence or mild profanity)
- T+ -- Teen Plus ((16 and up, may contain moderate violence, moderate profanity use and suggestive themes)
- M – Mature (18 and up, may contain nudity, profanity, excessive violence and other content not suitable for minors)
A specific start date was not announced; the new system will begin “soon.”
