This is the stuff that fanboy's dreams are made of. Six issues written by Robert Kirkman, penciled by Todd McFarlane, Marc Silvestri, Rob Liefeld, Jim Valentino, Erik Larsen, and While Portacio all at once. Starring Spawn, Cyberforce, WitchbladeYoungblood, ShadowHawk(s) I &
Fortress
Fortress
II, Savage Dragon, and Portacio's newest creation - Fortress. Plus guest appearances galore by Spawn's villains, The Darkness, etc.  I can't explain it any better than Kirkman did here:

 
"Each artist is going to do the layouts for one issue," Kirkman explained. "Those guys will get the script for the issue and they'll be the one breaking it down into pages. Then once the story's laid out, they're going to be mailed all over the country, and everybody's going to be drawing their characters onto the pages. This is the future. It's going to be a lot of work, and I don't know -- maybe we'll have to give FedEx a credit in the book. But this just shows that anything can be done. "

I'm pretty sure nothing like this has been attempted before, from the couple pages I've seen (below), it looks pretty seamless. Its easily the biggest crossover/superhero event in a long, long time for Image. The thing that gets me even more excited is the possible reestablishment of the Image universe as one world (minus Jim Lee's creations and WetWorks obviously) where the characters interract with each other on a more regular basis than crossoverissues. Who knows maybe Chapel will get re-retconned into being the murderer of Al Simmons?

@mr.biggie:

Its still in the works, I've seen some penciled & inks pages, I don't know what the ETA is. I'm wondering if they might be waiting for Jim Lee to be done with his DC contract?

As far as the story goes I don't know, its got Kirkman writing it though so I'm sure it'll be entertaining. But as far as the creation process goes, the closest thing would be the Image 0 jam I guess. Nothing like it as far as a full comic book goes, where the artist only draws their own characters and everyone takes turns doing layouts. If there is, I'd like to know.
