Wicked!
LOL... this looks awesome! Bone, Milk & Cheese, The Tick, Captain Canuck, The Maxx, Cerebus... this is just incredible! Too bad Ryan couldn't get the rights for The Pitt, too. I can't wait to read this!

Wow, this just looks like fun. And it has the Tick yelling "SPOON!" So I'm sold on it.

I was surprised to see Bone, The Tick, and Cerebus together.

The Ultimate shocker to me is that they brought Gumby in on this event. I mean that's a feat worth knowing.

Really looking forward to this! It's a great idea, and incredible that they can pull it off!
Honestly, you can't love comics and not be interested in this.

Looks like fun, I'll have to talk to this guy at NYCC this weekend and see if my characters can be included in this!

This is beyond genius! I remember hearing about this a few years back (wasn't Scott Lobdell attached at one point???) and was wondering what had happened with it. Bravo for all the effort that was obviously involved in putting this together. And yeah, Gumby being in this is truly epic.

I have to say that Dave did a great job at getting some really great well-known and lesser known characters in this. I have read the first issue(in PDF form and it is really cool seeing how he put it all together.

Sounds interesting, but one big reason I like indie books is because there aren't big crossovers to deal with. Curious how well it works out.

I'm in !
Don't remember this from years back apparently, but it's a great idea. Anyone who evens slightly enjoys indies, or is nostalgic for some characters long not seen, should pick this up.

I suspect a lot of these guys are going to be watered down a bit, but the sheer audacity of a project like this demands my attention. This looks like a ton of fun.
