Altered Image #1

A wildly chaotic cover by Jim Valentino (pencils) and Erik Larsen (inks) sets the tone for this 1998 Image crossover, flinging an ensemble of the publisher's most recognizable heroes — including Witchblade, Savage Dragon, Shadowhawk, Majestic, and The Maxx, among others — into a swirling, gravity-defying collision above a crumbling cityscape. The central figure tumbles inverted in a striking red-and-white costume while chaos erupts around every corner, perfectly teasing the story title "The Day Reality Went Wild!" Written and drawn by Jim Valentino, this first issue promises the kind of universe-bending fun that only a crossover bringing together so many distinct corners of the Image line could deliver.
