So, CBR reports that McFarlane was being questions by a fan about why he doesn't do more comic work.
The fan turns out to be Robert Kirkman, writer of Invincible.
"I know Marvel has tried to get you to do stuff and other people have tried to get you to do stuff," Kirkman continued. "You're here because of the comics. I don't want to say you 'owe' it, but why can't you help on a comic book? Why can't you do a new comic book? I think everybody here will agree they'd love to see you work on a new comic!"Everybody did agree, and when the applause died down, McFarlane answered Kirkman, "You write comic books. You should try drawing one some day, pal."
"I can do layouts!" Kirkman declared.
"Yeah," McFarlane responded. "You and my mom."
McFarlane approached Kirkman."You wanna do stuff? You wanna do a book with me? How good is Robert Kirkman's stuff?" The crowd went wild, including members of McFarlane's panel.
"How cool would it be for Todd and Bob to do something?" Haberlin yelled.
"OK," McFarlane relented. "If you convince Haberlin, [and if] he convinces me ... me and you."
Cue thunderous applause as the pair of creators shook hands.
