About the series
A one-shot Free Comic Book Day sampler from CrossGen, this 2003 issue offers a standalone taste of the fantasy-adventure series Way of the Rat. It introduces the premise of a reluctant thief who becomes the unlikely champion of a mystical martial arts style, set against the publisher's signature interconnected universe. While brief, the issue showcases the lush, painted art style and cinematic storytelling that defined CrossGen's early-2000s output.
