The week of April 15th, a new superhero team book called THE CROSSOVERLORD will debut.
THE CROSSOVERLORD will involve a teaming between A.N.T. , DASIEN, "Dead Debbie" of INDEFENSIBLE POSITIONS, LIGHTBRINGER, and MINDMSTRESS against a common foe -- who also has some of their individual enemies working for him. Plenty of guest-shots and other cameos from other webcomics has already been agreed on, with more to come.
Superhero teams come in two flavors; characters created especially for the book, like X-Men or Fantastic Four or Doom Patrol, and the teams that team-up separate superhero features into one team -- like JLA, or AVENGERS. THE CROSSOVERLORD is the latter. Though it will be like JLA or AVENGERS, it'll also be like EXILES -- in that each character is drawn from a different reality. The multiverse is their baliwick -- but despite the cosmic scope of their story, there will be a LOT of character friction and interaction. After all -- how can they agree on a strategy against a common foe -- if they can't even agree on a NAME?
Interested parties can see a collage of images right NOW at www.drunkduck.com/Crossoverlord/index.php or its mirror site at www.webcomicsnation.com/crossoverlord/crossoverlord/series.php to get an idea. (A comicgenesis site is also coming.) The creators are round-robining the art chores, so the story will be told in a variety of styles.
CRISISes getting too corny and overblown? WARS and INVASIONS too contradictory and messy?
C'mon. CROSSOVER.
