Gen 13 / Maxx One Shot

In this 1995 one-shot from Image Comics, writer Bill Messner-Loebs and artist Tomm Coker bring together two of the publisher's most distinctive creations—Gen¹³, the team of superpowered teens, and The Maxx, the surreal, purple-clad hero from another dimension—for a single, crossover issue. The story leverages the shared Image universe of the era to explore how these very different characters might interact, offering a brief but memorable meeting between the grounded, youthful energy of Gen¹³ and the dreamlike, psychological landscape of The Maxx. While it stands alone as a self-contained tale, it's a curious artifact of Image's early willingness to let its creator-owned properties collide.
