Ram V & Dan Watters Creating an Image Comics/White Noise Crossover?

The One Hand by Ram V and Laurence Campbell and The Six Fingers by Dan Watters and Sumit Kumar, both coloured by Lee Loughridge.



Article Summary

  • Ram V and Dan Watters, from the virtual comics studio White Noise, may be planning a crossover.
  • Ram V's new series, The One Hand, and Dan Watters' new series, The Six Fingers, seem to share features hinting at collaboration.
  • Both series are from Image Comics and share a cover style, colourist, title format, and the name, Neo Novana.
  • The detective star of The One Hand has the same name as the city location in The Six Fingers, increasing speculation of their convergence.

Ram V and Dan Watters are part of the London White Noise comics studio that never really existed aside from virtually but provided a handy marketing position for a number of writers trying to get work and coverage in the comics industry a few years ago, alongside Alex Paknadel and Ryan O'Sullivan. And even as the creators move out of London, they still help each other out.

Ram V & Dan Watters Creating an Image Comics/White Noise Crossover?

Now 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?
