Greg Capullo provides all-new cover to the Image founder crossover, Image United!
IMAGE UNITED's second issue will welcome HAUNT and SPAWN artist Greg Capullo to the fold as he joins the Image founders with a one-time variant cover featuring the entire cast up against the series' dreaded villain, Omega Spawn!
"When it came time to choose an artist for our next guest variant, Greg Capullo was the first guy who came to mind," Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson said. "From his early days following Todd on SPAWN to his creator-owned series CREECH and his work on HAUNT, Greg has become nearly as synonymous with Image Comics as any of the founders. Besides that, he's also a phenomenal cover artist in his own right. We're thrilled to have him on board."
Greg Capullo's cover features the heroes of IMAGE UNITED combating the series' big bad, Omega Spawn, as reflected in the miniseries' shocking opener. Retailers can order as many copies of the color version as they wish, but there will also be a limited edition 1:100 version of the cover in pristine black and white, available to qualifying accounts.
IMAGE UNITED #2, a 32-page full color comic book for $3.99, will be in-stores December 23 2009. Both Capullo covers, including the full color (OCT098185) and 1:100 black and white (OCT098186), have a Final Order Cutoff of December 17th 2009.

Zombie epidemic sweeps 1920s New York City in We Will Bury You
Written by Heroes star Brea Grant
In 1920s New York City, life is hard — and then the zombies appear. Actress Brea Grant (Heroes) and her brother, Zane, weave a historical horror in We Will Bury You, debuting in February 2010. The four-issue series follows two unlikely heroines from the margins of society as they fight to survive and battle the spreading zombie infection.
“Zane and I have been working together on music or other creative endeavors for a long time,” said Brea Grant. “We have a similar sense of the world, sense of humor and work ethic, so it just really works out.”
Set during the Roaring Twenties, a time of great change for American society, We Will Bury You takes this challenging era and adds the chaos of zombies for an ingenious new horror story that offers an engaging look at the human condition.
“Besides the aesthetic of the Roaring Twenties being a great and underused environment for horror, there were a lot of big changes going on during that time period,” said Zane Grant. “The country was divided in a lot of complicated ways that are still relevant today.”
The series’ stark images are provided by artist Kyle Strahm, with covers by Ben Templesmith, Eisner-winner Nate Powell, and Trevor Hutchison.
“We wanted someone who could conceptualize both the beauty of the era and the grotesque nature of the zombies,” added Brea. “Kyle’s portfolio had these amazing, scary monsters alongside futuristic images and realistic faces. Everything he draws feels a little mystical, yet bizarre. He has no trouble showing the sickening nature of what we were visualizing.”
Issue #1 debuts in February and sets the stage for disaster, introducing the series protagonists and painting a historically accurate picture of this pivotal time.
“Brea and Zane have crafted a compelling story with a unique take on the zombie subgenre,” commented IDW editor Denton J. Tipton. “Their shared love for the comics medium really shines through, as does their understanding of dramatic storytelling, all delivered with a distinctive voice.”
We Will Bury You #1 (of 4; $3.99; 32 page) will be available in stores in February. Diamond order code DEC09 0924.
