One Hand & Six Fingers, A New Shared Universe From Image Comics

Ram V & Laurence Campbell's The One Hand and Dan Watters & Sumit Kumar's The Six Fingers, a New Shared Universe from Image Comics

Bleeding Cool previously reported, regarding a couple of upcoming titles, "Ram V has a new series, The One Hand, with artist Laurence Campbell and Lee Loughridge planned for February from Image Comics. And so does Dan Watters with The Six Fingers with Sumit Kumar and Lee Loughridge. Sumit drew These Savage Shores, written by Ram V, and Lee Loughridge coloured Detective Comics written by both Dan and Ram. Bleeding Cool has gone a look at these covers, and it seems they may well be planning some kind of… convergence? Crossover? Co-publication? Sharing cover styles, colourists, title format… and a name, Neo Novana. The detective star of The One Hand has the same name as the city location in The Six Fingers. What is going on?"

I now understand that as part of a retailer call with Ram V to talk about his upcoming Dawnrunner series at Dark Horse, he confirmed that both The One Hand, and The Six Fingers are indeed from a shared world, and while they can be read separately, each will continue clues and easter eggs for the other, creating a complete experience when read together. And additionally, there is a surprise overship variant being sent to retailers, which has not yet been seen or announced yet, as well as three unseen companion retailer exclusive variants.
