Deathmate
''Deathmate'' was a six-part comic book crossover between Valiant Comics and Image Comics published in 1993 and 1994. Background Designated by color rather than issue numbers (namely Yellow, Blue, Black, and Red) plus two book-end issues, ''Deathmate Prologue'' and ''Deathmate Epilogue'', as well as Preview issues collected with comic products, the four main issues were written so they could be read in any order.
