Check out the incredible preview image!
What do you get when Jim Lee teams up with his old friends at Image to put out quite possibly one of the most highly anticipated comic books of the year? One heck of a gorgeous cover. Check out the preview for the cover to the first issue of Image United, penciled by Jim Lee. WARNING: drooling may occur. Be sure to keep some tissues handy. Will you be picking up the issue?
IMAGE UNITED #1 (of 6): THE CROSSOVER EVENT OF THE CENTURY IS HERE!"Things just got real," IMAGE UNITED writer Robert Kirkman said. "Having all seven founders truly united propels the crossover to a whole new level. That's a commonly used phrase, but it's definitely the case here. This is exactly the moment fans have been hoping for and I'm very happy to say Jim delivered. That said, if you think this is cool, just wait for what happens next!"
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!

When did Al Simmons become evil? I stopped seriously collecting the series before Armageddon.... Not a great design either
@Nobody: i hope he'll be in it , there was a interview with krikman where Erik and todd were sayin that he should for sure put him in , so hopfully he will be put in !!!!!!
and invincible is really image's top selling character now so it would bring more readers to the book , but it's not like any image fan won't pick it up , this is epic !!!!!!!

See? THAT is why Lee is one of my Fav artists of ALL TIME!
and...holy crap...is that Simmons?!

That is a nice image there is no denying Jim Lee's talent, however like I said you'd think that those guys could come up with a better design for an evil powerful Spawn.I realize you want him to be recognizable but you could do that and make him look better.
It's a small very small disappointment and it will in no way affect my decision to pick this up.

Cannot wait for this, actually just picked up the preview for it signed by Kirkman at my local shop
Also as many said, no invincible on the cover, yeah the preview didn't show him
but even without him, i still think this will be one of the best events to happen in recent years, i mean look at the team behind it!

funny thing is that I have yet to try the series of any of these and yet the art of Jim Lee is good enough to make me want to do it
@Obsurity: the Armageddon story was the best story arc ever in spawn , that's what got me back into spawn , u gota pick it up !!!!
I cant quote the image. but al simmons is in the middle of the picture obviously. from left to right.
savage dragon, witchblade, shadowhawk, ripclaw, badrock, (youngblood guy with arrows?), another guy i'm unfamiliar with in the background, and spawn.
