Word of a possible crossover between DC Comics and Image Comics broke earlier this year. While the project looks dead, Erik Larsen shared art he was doing for his part of the event.

Larsen shared the pencils to an image featuring a Fawcett inspired Captain Marvel and his own Savage Dragon. The two styles in characters stand out making this a company crossover comic fans are worse off for not seeing.

Larsen in a comment says the juxtaposition inn style and characters is on purpose as he’d “prefer contrasting characters to similar ones.”

While the event was sure to sell issues, probably dominate the top ten, and spur too many news articles to count, according to Larsen it was a combination of issues between the two publishers that ended the project.

As Larsen comments in his post:

DC soon found that there weren’t enough willing parties that could get the job done in their timeframe. There were folks at Image who thought it would help DC more than it would Image (since DC would be publishing it) and folks were talked out of participating. The only Image founder onboard was me. Others were creators from the second wave.

The project leaking to a rumor site didn’t help matters sucking the wind out of the room.
