We had a Crossgen Comics thread on the old forum, so I figured I'd start a new one for this forum.
I remember stumbling upon the first issues of Scion, Sigil, Meridian, and Mystic back in 2000 when I was getting back into comics after about an 8 month layoff from the hobby. I had never heard of these characters before so I decided to flip through them and immediately fell in love with the art and decided to pick up Scion, Sigil, and Mystic and give them a try, boy am I glad I did! Over the next several months I kept up with those books and jumped on The First when it came out and made sure to sample everything the publisher threw at me, I kept up on all the latest Crossgen news and by mid 2001 I was completely submerged within the company. At my height I was purchasing at least 10 Crossgen books a month and was heavy into Scion, Sigil, Mystic, Crux, Sojourn, The First, Negation, Mark of Charon, Solus, Brath, and other non Sigil-Verse books and couldn't imagine my life without these amazing characters. And then it happened. Crossgen went out of business in 2004. I was destroyed inside and left the hobby for several years before finally coming back but the burn still stings and the void has only been partially filled, I'll never forget the time I had with Crossgen and still keep their books near and dear to my heart.
Okay, that's my story. What's yours? Discuss!
