In 1996, #RobLiefeld was part of the infamous #HeroesReborn relaunch at #Marvel, where he took over #CaptainAmerica in an attempt to revive him, only for his contract to be cut short due to low sales and poor critical reception, with #JimLee & #WildstormStudios taking over.

#JimLee would shake #ImageComics and the industry as a whole when he sold #WildstormStudios to #DCComics in 1998, choosing to work at DC full time as well. The highlight would be #Batman:Hush in 2003, a twelves issue story in #Batman from 2002-2003.

After helping found #ImageComics, #JimLee created #WildC.A.T.S with #BrandonChoi (his co-plotter from the #X-Men), on August of 1992, which would become the foundation of #WildstormStudios, soon the most successful branch of Image.
