It's time to wrap up our look at the many, MANY failed, abandoned and plain disapparated projects spearheaded by Rob Liefeld.

This took considerably more time and effort than I expected when I started. I thought I would have had time to check the other Image founders as well. Image
But the thing is, while it's a commonly held truth that Image flooded the market of the 1990s with titles, most of the founders kept their ranges small and focused. Todd focused on Spawn and a few spinoffs. Erik focused on Savage Dragon and a few spinoffs.
It's not that the other founders didn't have plenty of canceled titles and titles that never came out. It's just that there are so much fewer of them due to how much Extreme published that they're drowned out by the tide.

Alright folks, I hope you rested up, refilled your pouches, practiced your anguished scowls and prepared yourselves, because it is time for part 3 of the deep dive on canceled and lost Image comics from the 90s.

It's time.. to get AWESOME. Image
First off, to everyone joining tonight, welcome. Previous two threads chronicling the years 1992-1997 can be found here, give 'em a look if you didn't already:

We are back for part 2 of our deep dive into the many canceled and lost comics of Image's early years. Next up, 1995. Image at high tide! Publicity! Conventions! Merchandise! Impending financial collapse! Image
By 1995 Extreme Studios seemed to be doing well. Like most of the founders they had a number of ongoings and a few limited series as support, tho they were the studio with the biggest problem with delays, and few title even had 10 issues out.
As seen previously, a number of very delayed projects from 93/94 finally manifested in 95, meaning the Image product line grew substantially across the board (with a few studios keeping a very small, focused line such as McFarlane and Larsen).

As promised (threatened?), strap in folks, because we are going to spend our Saturday talking about the abandoned, canceled and plain evaporated comics of Image Comics. Much of this is pretty fascinating and not just in a trainwreck kind of way, so stick with me! Image
First off a DISCLAIMER: These posts will touch upon comics creators who are not nice people at times. This is NOT an apology or endorsement of these individuals, merely a recording of facts about comics that existed (or nearly did). Support good creators, not bad ones.
SECOND DISCLAIMER: I have tried to find appropriate art for all comics discussed, but in many cases all we have is a solicit or a mention of a title, with no art even existing. In some cases there is an ad, but I haven't found any scan that has the ad included. Them's the breaks.
