Image United On Sale Wednesday 11/25/09

Get ready for the biggest crossover event Image has ever done.


No Caption Provided
We've been hearing and seeing bits for Image United.  The wait will soon be over for this big event.  This Wednesday, November 25, the first issue hits the stands.  If you saw our interview with Rob Liefeld, you've heard a little about this and how things aren't going to be too great for some of the characters.  The idea of having each creator draw their own characters on each page is brilliant.  I can't even imagine how it all went down.  They've said it went smoother than you'd imagine.  We shall see come Wednesday.
 
Here's a little preview to tide you over.

IMAGE UNITED #1 (OF 6) COVER
story ROBERT KIRKMAN art ERIK LARSEN, ROB LIEFELD, TODD McFARLANE, WHILCE PORTACIO, MARC SILVESTRI & JIM VALENTINO covers ERIK LARSEN, ROB LIEFELD, TODD McFARLANE, WHILCE PORTACIO, MARC SILVESTRI & JIM VALENTINO

THE CROSSOVER EVENT OF THE CENTURY IS HERE!


The heroes of the Image Universe are united in order to fight the greatest threat the world as ever faced! You can’t miss this historic event as the original Image Founders draw all the characters they made history with. Each page is an amazing jam piece – it’s a story told in a way never before attempted in comics!

Going to be alot of covers for this one, I've seen a blank one as well. I kind of like those cause sometimes other artists will sketch on the front of them...

Okay so each character will be drawn by their own artist per panel?!  Wow.  that is A LOT of coordination to be done for a story of this magnitude.  That is huge.  I do not see them pulling this off with no delays.  Expect a minimum of one month lateness between issues.

Never was a big image superhero fan. When i was a kid, my brother was into spawn and savage Dragon and has the first 10 issues of both, but he did not like him after that, so neither did I ha ha. I dug Wildc.a.t.s a lot when i was a kid because of the cartoon. But never got into the comics all that much. But this does look really cool, i might not have any idea whats going on but i really dig what they are doing with it. All the different artists is a great idea and is a gimmick that is interesting me alot. The pictures look sweet, and surprising how much they flow together for being different artists. good  for image this concept will do the company really well.
 i already buy Walking Dead and chew, and i want to start reading invincible, so image deffently has a lot of pull with me but i never got into these superheros so im confused.  I wish WildCats was in this because that is really the only image superheros i knew, and invincible I want to get into but hes not here either. Will I buy this? maybe, i haven't decided yet. but i am very very tempted.

Seeing as how Jim Downing is now Spawn, and both he and Al Simmons are in this issue, should Jim Downing have his own page? Both are currently credited to the Spawn page. After reading this, Al now calls himself the Omega Spawn.
