Marvel Announces New Imprint!
Marvel is proud to announce the all-new Crossgen imprint, launching in
March 2011 with two series-Ruse and Sigil. Featuring some of today's
most acclaimed talents and crossing all genres, Crossgen brings Marvel's
incomparable storytelling sensibilities to new characters, new concepts
and new audiences.
In the war for forever, time is only a small obstacle as the greatest
warriors jump from century to century to ensure victory! Enter Samantha
Rey, a 16 year old girl from present-day South Carolina who discovers a
mysterious symbol on her chest granting her the power to turn the tide
of this war. But will she save us or damn all of creation? New York
Times best-selling scribe Mike Carey (Age of X, The Unwritten) and
Leonard Kirk (New Mutants) begin the next great comic epic in Sigil #1.
Legendary scribe Mark Waid (Amazing Spider-Man) and rising star artist
Mirco Pierfederici (Tron: Original Movie Adaptation) present Ruse #1,
the mystery series that'll leave you breathless! Simon Archard is the
world's greatest detective, but when he crosses paths with the enigmatic
Emma Bishop, the smartest man may have met his equal...and find himself
embroiled in the greatest mystery of his career!
"Crossgen is one of the biggest comic book imprint launches this
century," said David Gabriel, SVP of Sales & Circulation. "You've seen
Marvel redefine super heroes and now we're taking on every popular genre
you can imagine, with some of the most unique and compelling new series
you'll find in 2011, each priced at only $2.99 per issue. You've never
