About this Collection
This volume collects the first story arc of CrossGen's Ruse, a Victorian-era detective series featuring master investigator Simon Archard and his assistant Emma Bishop as they unravel supernatural mysteries in the fog-shrouded city of Partington. Written by Mark Waid with art by Butch Guice, the book blends classic whodunit elements with a subtle fantasy twist, setting the stage for the duo's ongoing adventures against a shadowy criminal organization.
