Gert goes on a Line-Wide Rampage in I Hate Fairyland Team-Up Variant Bloodbath Covers this April

Posted on by

When Spawn team-up variants were announced, Gert was annoyed. When Youngblood team-ups were unveiled, Gert began sharpening her axe. And when Invincible team-up variants were revealed, Gert screeched: “I HATE TEAM-UPS!” Image Comics is all-in on Skottie Young’s I Hate Fairyland this April in celebration of the milestone #50 issue and warns fans of a highly deranged Gert, and her Fairyland pals, taking Image covers hostage all month long.

In addition to the characters’ cameo appearances on the covers of some of Image’s hottest ongoing series, the title logos on each book will be redesigned to mirror the instantly recognizable I Hate Fairyland look.

Created by Skottie Young, I Hate Fairyland #1 debuted in October 2015. The series has sold out and gone back-to-print multiple times and received mass critical acclaim. It remains one of the most popular, bestselling ongoing Image series to date.

I Hate Fairyland characters will appear on the covers of:
