Teamup books were big in the late 1960s through the 1970s then died out in the 80s, due to a variety of factors, not least being the first gentle foreshocks of comics' various crises to come.
2 UP is a little different to the classic teamup book, although it is similar to the villain teamup books in that the lead characters change more often.
In 2 UP there is a continuing story for a few issues, and this story arc, at least in the first three issues has a "relay character" - Lady Ghost teams up with DB Cooper, DB Cooper then teams up with the mysterious Harry Lime, Harry Lime finds himself teaming up with Frankenstein's Monster... and that concludes the story arc.
However Frankenstein's Monster encounters Octobriana, introducing her into the shared universe in a standalone story, albeit one with several dangling plot threads.
After that we have a couple different options and the future schedule is not fixed. There will definitely be an issue of 2 UP teaming up Casimir Effect characters with... SOMEONE, but other than that- we're going to just have fun! The teamup books used to be big fun, and we want ours to be too.
The other unusual thing for us is that 2 UP will have no single art team, there will be probably the biggest turnover of staff on this book, quite deliberately, so that it is a mixed bag and a constantly entertaining ride. We are also using it as a tryout book.
So there you go- 2 UP!
