Image United: The Upcoming Image Founder Crossover

Can someone fill me in on how the character Chapel came back from the dead? In this crossover he and a bunch of villains attack Youngblood headquarters.

Don't waste your time with this book. The art is rubbish, the plot is rubbish.

I thought Spawn resurrected him.

He was resurrected after the Extreme Sacrifice crossover. I forget how, but think it was something to do with time being kind of reset in Hell. Or something. It's been a long time since I read it.

Well I like this new crossover! And I'm glad that the original Shadowhawk is being brought back from the dead!

Wow. I have paid zero attention to this thing from the get go, figuring it would just end up being super late and a disaster. Low and behold, many many months after think that, it's exactly that!

They are doing exactly what they did back when they first started Image. Why oh why did they not finish the entire project and then solicit?

Will this thing ever actually be finished?

It is painful because everything we are seeing and hearing, true or not, is that it is really ONE of the creators causing the problem

**Awesome!** · 04-28-2010, 05:06 PM

which one?

According to Liefeld it's McFarlane who still hasn't finished his part of issue #3.

I was super excited for this series, and enjoyed what has been released so far. I am now very disappointed in the schedule. I love Image, I have fond memories of the 90's, and I still read Savage Dragon every month. I just wish some of my favorite artists would get some kind of work ethic and be on some kind of regular schedule. This should have definitely been almost complete before being solicited.

Since none of us really know what is going on unfortunately we end up lumping all of the Image creators into this bucket but in reality--->

Erik Larsen is putting out Savage Dragon monthly (no issues)
Rob Liefeld has put out more work in the past year and half than his entire career
Whilce Portacio seems to be churning out pages and covers everywhere
Jim Valentino is moving forward with the new Shadowhawk series starting next month
Marc Silvestri has been doing variant covers but I am not sure what else he has going on
Todd McFarlane has released 3 issues of Spawn in 6 months making the book unreliable when during David Hine's run on the book is shipped 35 issues in 37 months

I don't know the details and I know Todd has a toy empire to run but it is heartbreaking to see this happen. The creators really couldn't have done the book without a solicitation date or they never would have gotten around to it... I was optimistic about this project. Now I am just ready to move one

When Image began, Comic Books were a cultural phenom. Huge. Massive. Bigger than video games. Today they are not even a blip on the radar screen. They are nothing to the masses. Only us diehards remain. Therefore, a guy like McFarlane, who has a toy empire and movie dreams, ain't gonna get his ass in gear. Especially with him no longer being a young maverick.

Are any of us really buying this for the story? I know I'm not, especially after I read the first issue, lol.
