Crux

In the early 2000s, CrossGen launched Crux, a sprawling fantasy epic that reimagined the myth of Atlantis. Written primarily by Chuck Dixon and Mark Waid, with lush, detailed art by Steve Epting, Sergio Cariello, and Paul Ryan, the series follows a group of ancient Atlantean heroes awakened in the modern world, each wielding unique elemental powers. Over 33 issues, it explores their struggle to reclaim their lost civilization and confront a rising threat from the deep. Crux stands out for its ambitious world-building and dynamic art, a key pillar of CrossGen's innovative shared universe.
