Painkiller Jane / Darkchylde

In 1998, Event Comics launched a one-shot team-up that paired two of its gritty, super-powered heroines: Painkiller Jane, the bulletproof NYPD officer, and Darkchylde, the demonically transformed teenager. Written by Brian Augustyn with art by J. G. Jones, this single issue pits the street-smart Jane against the supernatural horror of Ariel Chylde’s world, bridging the publisher's action and dark fantasy lines. Though brief, it’s a notable crossover that showcases Event’s early attempt to build a shared universe around its edgy, creator-owned characters.
