Crossgen check list

[Starkicker]

I just picked up a huge stack of Crossgen comics from my LCS's 10cent bins, yep I'm pretty happy. I was paying 4.25 for these books a few years ago and now I can catch up on the series I couldn't afford to read.

Does anyone know of a website that has a complete Crossgen check list?

Try the Comic Book Database. (http://www.comicbookdb.com/)

Let us know which books you liked best. There are still quite a few of us CG fans lurking about here.

Dammit.

I miss Crossgen. Why did you have to go and remind me of how much I do miss them. :( :(

The Grand Comics Database at: www.comics.org also has most, if not all Crossgen titles entered.

Earl, an admin at www.comicspriceguide.com would have tthe most comprehensive list with variants available online. My suggestion is to register and join their messageboard. Find the crossgen thread in the "What's in your longbox?" category. If a list isn't posted there, I'm sure you could coax Earl into posting a current one. He again is an admin and reads the thread regularly as people add to it.

Also, keep in mind that Disney has released a couple of Abadazad children books since buying the properties. It's possible that they may develop it further.

Hm, I should really get around to finishing my runs of Sojourn and Ruse (which I followed in trade form).

I have never read a crossgen comic. which titles are the best?

[ratzo]

Of the sigil-verse titles, the ones with the biggest fan followings were Sojourn, Meridian, Ruse, Scion and Negation. My favorites were Scion and Negation (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=119973).

I liked Crux, The First, and Way of the Rat. The number one favorite, though, was Negation (http://www.geocities.com/negationspace/home). If I could only recommend one Crossgen book, that would be it.

Scion was my favorite. When we used to run popularity polls on CBR's (former) CrossGen forum, Scion and Negation were invaribly at the top of the list.

Depends on what you like.

All the titles have characters with super-hero-like powers.

But they're different genres, and have a different tone and feel to them.

My favorite was Meridian, but I admit bias. I'm in a family of four, and that is the ONLY comic that all four of us loved. We would anticipate each Wednesday it would come out, each take dibs on who would read it first, then have character debates and make speculations on the future direction of the plot.

Great fun.

My personal favorites were Scion and Negation.

Heh... Haven't had that discussion in years. Those were the days, man, lemme tell you. Debating which amazing comic was the most amazing. Like Jim said, Scion and Negation were always the top two. Picking one of those is like trying to choose between sex with Alyson Hannigan or Gillian Anderson. It's gonna be good either way.

If you liked CrossGen, you should check out Ape Entertainment's The Black Coat and Dark Horse's Rex Mundi.

Don't know about those, but I definitely recommend Dark Horse's Samurai: Heaven & Earth. It's creators are all CG alumni and it reads a lot like a high-quality CG book.
