Guardians of the Globe from Image in August 2010?

In an eerily familiar execution, Image Comics just sent us the below image that seems to be announcing a new team book, Guardians of the Globe, of which it looks as if Invincible is a member of.  Could this be the first of other character announcements to roll out the team?

  2. epic

    Day made! LOL this is awesome news and I think it’s great that they’re doing the same teasers.

  4. Heh, that’s good.

  5. cormano cormano says:

    The possibilities here are very exciting.  I’m hoping Superpatriot is involved. 

  6. deezer deezer says:

    Very excited about this… not sure how I feel about them not even changing the poster dress from the Avengers lineups though

  7. I’m assuming Kirkman is writing this… but who’s the artist? Anyone recognize the teaser pic’s art style?

  8. HailScott HailScott says:

    If this is for real, it’s a great idea. I’ve never really been into team books, but Robot, Monster Girl, Brit, and all of those guys are cool characters. Sold!

  9. gobo gobo says:

    Bwahahah awesome

    Is this what Howard’s doing after Wolf Man?

  10. torippu torippu says:

    Awesome! Can’t wait.

  11. HailScott HailScott says:

    Maybe Wolfman, an interesting character whose book kind of went bad (like Brit) will be on the Guardians. Nice!

  12. bigyanks bigyanks says:

    LOL. im on bored for this book. that invincible looks like jim lee maybe?

  13. seNoj1 seNoj1 says:

    ya if kirkman is writing i think that wolfman is almost guaranteed to be on the team

  14. tbondrage99 tbondrage99 says:

    This is awesome. Love them doing the same thing as the Avengers, if it works why not rip it off I guess?

  15. NawidA NawidA says:

    Could just be a part of Invincible. I mean that book is in the middle of a war right?

  16. Bryce31 Bryce31 says:

    Awesome! This could be a good book, hopefully kirkman is writing it.

  17. Art1318 Art1318 says:

    This is so cool. Its nice to see someone try and give a lttle jab at marvel for once.

  18. AmirCat AmirCat says:

    Same font too … hehe

  19. wheels9696 says:

    Is the artist Mike Ransom Getty?

  20. this is just genius.

    Love Invincible so this book should be awesome

  21. smeeeeee smeeeeee says:

    It seems weird to see invincible drawn by someone else but ottley

  22. MikeFarley says:

    Can’t wait for DC to jump on board…

     

    "I’m the goddamn Batman!"

    "I’m a member of the Justice League of America."

  23. ScottB ScottB says:

    AWESOME!!! This is a fantastic way to Parody the way they were rolling out the Avengers rosters.

  24. gobo gobo says:

    @smeeee Yeah, it’s impressive how much Ottley has made it HIS book (sort of like how Adlard did with Walking Dead).  I don’t even think about Walker or Moore when I think of either book (even though both are fantastic)

  25. wayne2001bc wayne2001bc says:

    Well done!  That’s pretty funny.  And I’ll definitely check out this book.  I wonder if members of the Guardians of the Globe will get killed in the upcoming Viltrumite War.  There could be new characters on the team.  I hope Monster Girl, Immortal and Robot survive.

  26. BizDaddy BizDaddy says:

    Is this for real…and will this begin the 2nd coming of Kirkman vs. Bendis?

  27. Patman2 Patman2 says:

    Ha!  

  28. Neb Neb says:

    What would be even more awesome is if they put out teasers for "Secret Guardians of the Globe," "New Guardians of the Globe," and "Guardians of the Globe Academy." :)

  29. lmiller31 lmiller31 says:

    Even if this was just a joke, it was a good one. It made me laugh. Heartily.

  30. I hope it is not a joke.

    I was going to start picking up Invincible in issue, but I think this will be the book I get in singles (if Kirkman is writing it).

  31. Timmy Wood TimmyWood (@TimmyWood) says:

    I thought this was a joke until they put August 2010. Why put such a specific month on there. Looking forward to it thought.

  32. Mangaman Mangaman says:

    LMFAO!!! THAT’S THE BEST.

    I just wish they’d done it over the weekend BEFORE Emerald City. I was at the Image booth getting #55-65 signed and gabbed with Ottley for quite a while.

  33. Heroville Heroville says:

    Great, another character I’ve never heard of

  34. Gramercy Gramercy says:

    hahaha 

    and I agree w/ MikeFarley DC should jump on this bandwagon  

  35. I’m currently off of monthly’s, but if this is real and written by Kirkman, I’m back.

  36. TeleCarlos TeleCarlos says:

    At least someone has a sense of humor! Kirkman Rocks!

  37. lantern4life lantern4life says:

    I hope Kirkman is announcing a GoG book. I’ve wanted one for months now. I love the current lineup in Invincible & I bet it will include Wolfman

  38. Mangaman Mangaman says:

    Maybe Seeley’s Cassie Hack will be on the team XD!

  39. dannydanger dannydanger says:

    Awesome!!! I really hope that Robert Kirkman will be writing this book. Also Image spoofing Mravel’s teasers is so funny)))

  40. convoy83 convoy83 says:

    I approve of this paraody

  41. Anson17 says:

    My money’s on Tech Jacket. No, seriously.

    Heh. Pretty damn brilliant, Image. 

  42. Mangaman Mangaman says:

    with Spawn being on the team, now I’m hoping Cassie Hack does too, it would be so interesting.

  43. Nate Nate says:

    I bet $100 that this is one big (awesome) joke.
