Crossgenesis

Crossgenesis (2000–present, CrossGen) launched as a one-shot that set the stage for the publisher's ambitious shared universe, weaving together threads of science fiction and fantasy. Written by Barbara Kesel and Ron Marz, with art from Ben Lai, Brandon Peterson, and Jim Cheung, this single issue introduced the cosmic sigil-bearers and the conflict between the First and the Negation. It matters as the foundational cornerstone of CrossGen’s entire line, establishing the mythology that would ripple through its interconnected series.
