Strange team

Art by Marat Mychaels
From Alan Moore's Forgotten Awesome: "In 2004, Robert Kirkman (of Walking Dead fame) started writing a new Youngblood series called Youngblood: Imperial. In this version, there are more than 1,000 Youngblood members in the expanding United States (it just swallowed up Canada).

Great Britain is next, but it has some heroes of its own who look like they have something to say about it. It wasn't a particularly interesting issue, but it doesn't matter because Kirkman left, claiming to be too busy, and it was just another version of Youngblood that lasted a single issue."
 
Above the final page from issue n.1, art by Marat Mychaels: (maybe) you can recognize some familiar faces. So, standing in the background, from left to right, it's Grant Morrison, Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis; in the foreground it's Neal Gaiman and... Alan Moore picking up a rabbit by the ears!

Well, comics can be crazy, we all know that!
