Deathmate

In 1993–1994, Image Comics and Acclaim teamed up for Deathmate, a nine-issue crossover that pitted the Valiant Universe's science-driven heroes—like Bloodshot and Geomancer—against the wild, hyper-detailed creations of Image's founding artists. Spearheaded by a rotating team of top-tier talents including Bob Layton, Kevin VanHook, Rob Liefeld, Jim Lee, and Marc Silvestri, the series threw characters such as Geoff McHenry, Grifter, Cole Cash, and Jack Boniface into a high-stakes conflict born from a cosmic event. Though brief, Deathmate stands as a landmark fusion of two distinct 1990s comic universes, showcasing the raw energy and artistic bravado that defined the era's superhero landscape.
