"This six-issue comic-book series, which will be previewed at Comic-Con International in San Diego on Wednesday, brings together six of the seven founders of Image Comics— a group of prominent illustrators who defected from Marvel in 1992 to start their own publishing company— as well as some of the most successful characters they have created or developed there.”

IMAGE UNITED PREVIEW contains the fully colored and lettered first half of IMAGE UNITED #1, featuring art from all six of the participating Image Comics founders including Erik Larsen, Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvestri and Jim Valentino. It also includes interviews with Kirkman, Image Publisher Eric Stephenson and Atomic Comics owner Mike Malve, who held the signing where IMAGE UNITED was first conceived, and an all-new cover by all six artists.

While the IMAGE UNITED PREVIEW will be available beginning on San Diego Comic Con’s Preview Night on Wednesday, July 22nd it will also be the subject of a one-time IMAGE UNITED signing special event, including all six artists and Kirkman on Saturday, July 25th from 10:00-11:30 AM at Image Comics booth, #2729.
