In 1992 Image the company that would be the biggest rival to Marvel and Dc was started. With Jim Lee(former X-men Artist and creator of Wildcats) Erik Larson(former Amazing Spider-Man artist and creator of Savage Dragon) Todd Macfarlane (former Spider-Man artist and Spawn creator), an many others would form a company that gave u the freedom to o what u want with your creation and not worry about losing ownership.  They have all stayed with the company more or less Jim Less left for DC and took his company Wildstorm with him. Now 16 years later they come back together for Image United. (Except Jim he is only doing some cover work.) This is a team up fan boys have been waiting for Youngblood, Dragon, Shadow Hawk  fight the original SPAWN. Al Simmons. Why??  Thats the big question. Last we saw him he killed him self and a new Spawn rose up from Hell. The first issue just came out written by Robert Kirkman from the Walking Dead. Each artist draws their own character. Witchblade from Top Cow (Image imprint)shows up too since she was Cows first creation. This is one book fans of Spawn or any Image fan has to check out.
