This is how the press release reads:
Dark Horse partners with 72 Productions for a special one shot comic book tie-in to Christopher Krovatin’s Venomous, the Simon & Schuster young adult novel, currently in the works as a feature film, produced by the Los Angeles based company run by Jen Chaiken and Sebastian Dungan .

Deadlocke mixes real life and young adult themes with escapist comic book fantasy, to  tell the story of a Manhattan teenager whose world is turned upside down when the dark alter ego who exists in his drawings threatens to take over his life. Locke Vinetti must learn to control his newfound strength at the risk of losing Renee, the darkly beautiful girl of his dreams. This internal struggle eventually culminates into a brutal rooftop battle where the characters’ lives, and souls, hang in the balance.

Novel author and screenwriter Chris Krovatin’s other credits include 2005’s Heavy Metal and You.  He is currently working on his first adult novel for Broadway Books, expected to be finished within the next year. This special comic tie-in is written by Rex Mundi writer, Arvid Nelson, and illustrated by Nick Stakal, artist on the current Criminal Macabre series, Cell Block 666.

Since IMAGE UNITED's announcement, fans have clamored for the one missing Image Comics founder, Jim Lee, to take part in the crossover event. Earlier today, Image and Newsarama revealed Lee will definitely take part with an all-new cover featuring the entire pantheon of Image superheroes at the hands of the resurrected Al Simmons.

"Things just got real," IMAGE UNITED writer Robert Kirkman said. "Having all seven founders truly united propels the crossover to a whole new level. That's a commonly used phrase, but it's definitely the case here. This is exactly the moment fans have been hoping for and I'm very happy to say Jim delivered. That said, if you think this is cool, just wait for what happens next!"

IMAGE UNITED is a six-part crossover encompassing the entire Image superhero universe and features each Image founder illustrating their own characters. Since its announcement, the crossover has set headlines with New York Times, USAToday and other massive media outlets for its once-in-a-lifetime approach to the superhero crossover. Lee's cover is available for order in addition to those by Erik Larsen, Rob Liefeld, Jim Valentino, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvestri and Todd McFarlane.

The solicitation for the issue reads:

Witchblade #132

(W) Ron Marz (A) Stjepan Sejic (Cov) Randy Green, Felix Serrano

A quiet, romantic weekend in New England turns into a terrifying mystery when Sara and Gleason are pulled into an investigation of missing children. But is this a simple missing persons case or has the Witchblade been drawn to another supernatural crime?

Robot 13, the action-horror-mystery series by Blacklist Studios duo Thomas Hall and Daniel Bradford, has received near unanimous acclaim from the comics community, with a sold-out first issue (though an alternate cover edition is still available), and a long list of critical praise.   It was only natural, then, that Robot 13 would seek a whole new level of potential audience on the Apple and Google mobile marketplaces via Robot Comics.

Fantastic.  Phenomenal.  Best book I’ve read all year.  Hellboy and BPRD fans definitely should not be without this book…and I wonder what it would take for Dark Horse to consider a crossover.  This is absolutely must reading and I can’t promote it enough.

–Jeff Marsick, Newsarama

This self-published series is just as impressive as the adventures of Hellboy, and does deserve just as wide an audience. I can sum up this series in two words: must buy.

–Kris Bather, Broken Frontier

Synopsis

R13, or Robot 13, is the story of a robot who fights mythological monsters.  After his body is pulled from the ocean depths off the coast of Spain, R13 is thrust into a series of epic battles with creatures of historical renown.  But…why?  Could there be a thread connecting these battles?  Who is Robot 13 and and where does he originate from?  R13 depicts the odyssey of a hero awoken from the ocean floor as he looks for answers to who he really is…and fights a lot of crazy-big monsters while he’s at it.

Robot 13: Colossus is the first action-packed series of the Robot 13 mythos, written by Thomas Hall and with art by Daniel Bradford. Coming to mobiles Winter 2009.

Debuting on iPhone and Android

Robot Comics will release Robot 13 for iPhone, iPod touch and Android mobiles in late 2009.  Issue #1 will be offered for free with subsequent issues priced at $0.99 each.  Robot 13 was originally published as a print comic book by Blacklist Studios.
