CrossGen Tales #1 brings back four cult favorite titles at Marvel Comics
CrossGen Tales #1 reprints four cla💦ssic CrossGen titles for a new audience

CrossGen is coming back to Marvel Comics in November, via 🅘a collection of reprinted material meant to be an entry point into the world of the cult-favorite comic publisher turned Marvel imprint.
Dubbed CrossGen Tales #1, the giant-sized softcover comic collection will reprint the original first issues of four of the most popular CrossGen titles, in♚cluding My🏅stic by Ron Marz and Brandon Peterson; Sigil by Mark Waid, Barbara Kesel, Chuck Dixon, Ben Lai, and Ray Lai; Ruse by Mark Waid and Butch Guice; and Soujourn by Ron Marz, Ian Edgington, and Greg Land.
Marvel describes Cros🐽sGen itself as "the 21st century's 🤪most innovative imprint," but that's only part of the tale.
Before CrossGen Entertainment was purchased by the Walt Disney Company and relaunched around 2011 as a Marvel imprint following Disney's purchase of Marvel, it was a business-oriented inde♍pendent comic publi💞sher launched in the late '90s by a Florida investor named Marc Alessi.
CrossGen gained a cult followin♔g, partially thanks to its early adoption of the idea of webcomics, allowing subscribers to read CrossGen titles via web browser - an innovation that was basically unheard of in the early '00s.
Following a series of behind-the-scenes controversies, CrossGen Entertainment went into bankruptcy before being acquired by the Walt Disney Company, leaꦓding to its eventual short-lives relaunch as a Marvel Comics imprint🔯.
"In Ruse (2001) #1, Detective Simon Archer and his assistant Emma Bishop face magic and mystery on the Victorian-esque planet Arcad﷽ia!" reads Marvel's solicitation text for the CrossGen Tales collection. "In ✃Mystic (2000) #1, meet sisters Genevieve and Giselle — one is a sorceress, one is a socialite, but their destinies are about to be transformed!"

"In Sigil (2000) #1, a planetary union is locked inꦇ a centuries-long war with the starfaring Saurians!" the solicitation continues. "And in Sojourn (2001) #1, the archer Arwyn and her allies fight for survival in the shadow of the undead dictator Mordath! But who are the Sigil-Bearers who unite these four stories?"
CrossGen Tales #1 goes🧔 on sale November 2, with a cover from Paco Mediꦏna.
CrossGen may have been more fantasy and sci-fi oriented, but some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best non-Marvel/DC superhero universes were also bought up by the 'Big Two' over the years.
