The First Preview

CrossGen launched their ambitious line with this 2000 preview issue, a single sampler written by Barbara Kesel and illustrated by Bart Sears. Designed to introduce readers to the publisher's interconnected universe, it offers a first glimpse at the sweeping fantasy and sci-fi worlds that would define the company's early identity. As a foundational piece of CrossGen's debut, this issue remains a key artifact for understanding the scope of their original shared continuity.
