Image Comics UNITED


So last night, the big announcement in San Diego was that Image Comics (and 6 of the 7 founders) will collaborate on a mini series that spans the entire Image Universe, starring just aboot everyone *in* the Image U (save for Jim Lee's WildStorm characters, as they are sadly, owned by the drowning DC), and it's all written by newest Image partner, Robert "Walking Dead" Kirkman.

Here's where it gets cool:

All the characters will be drawn by their respective owners throughout the mini.
So, if say, Savage Dragon, Shaft, Violator, and Velocity are in the same PANEL, then that means Erik Larsen, Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane and Marc Silvestri will also be drawing in same said panel.

Very, very cool.

I hope to the comic Gods above that this doesn't get delayed, pushed back like the Image books of old. This is definitely an even that will get even the Image haters talking.
