Image Founders 'United' for Comic Series
New partner Robert Kirkman will write 'Image United'
It's been a big week for Image, which started early on Comic-Con with the revelation that Robert Kirkman is joining the publisher as a partner.
Friday brought word that all the Image founders (minus Jim Lee) will be joining together on a six-issue miniseries called Image United. They'll be providing art, while the story comes from Kirkman.
The artists are: Erik Larsen, Rob Liefeld, Todd MacFarlane, Whilce Portacio, Jim Valentino and Marc Silvestri.
Comic Book Resources caught up with Kirkman, who explained a bit about the project (which scores an amazing 100 on the Probable-Delayometer):
It'll be a six-issue series. It's not going to focus on individual characters in the issues. It's going to be an all-encompassing, grand, epic crossover featuring all the characters together - intermingling and working together and fighting together. It's going to have the unprecedented art team of all the Image founders minus Jim Lee, and it's going to have every creator drawing their own characters, so it's going to be a hodge podge of different art on every page where all of the Savage Dragon figures are going to be drawn by Erik Larsen and all of the Youngblood characters are going to be drawn by Rob Liefeld. Every time Spawn appears, he'll be drawn by Todd McFarlane and so on and so on. It's going to be a unique reading experience, and we're very excited about that.

Whenever i see an illo like that, i am irresistably reminded of a sequence from Peter David's run on the Huilk, when Betty presented him with a "disguise", and he looked at it and said something like "Right. People won't say 'Look - there's the Hulk!' - they'll say 'Look - there's the Hulk with a fin on his head!'"
