CrossGen Chronicles

CrossGen Chronicles (2000–2002) was an anthology series from CrossGen that served as a gateway to its interconnected Sigilverse, offering origin stories and standalone tales from across the publisher's shared universe. Writers Barbara Kesel, Mark Waid, and Ron Marz, alongside artists including George Pérez, Esteban Maroto, and Rudy Nebres, crafted these eight issues to introduce readers to the epic scope and signature fantasy-science fiction blend that defined CrossGen's early output. It matters as a foundational piece of the publisher's ambitious world-building, giving context to its larger ongoing series.
