About the series
In this three-issue series from CrossGen (2001–2003), writer Barbara Kesel and artists Bart Sears and Brandon Peterson craft a self-contained saga of a lone, powerful being navigating a world of political intrigue and cosmic mystery. The story follows a mysterious figure known only as "the First," whose immense abilities draw the attention of both mortal rulers and otherworldly forces. A tightly focused entry in CrossGen's shared Sigil-verse, it showcases the publisher's ambition for dense, character-driven fantasy.
