The cover preview for Sojourn/Lady Death #2 looks great. I wonder why there's no cover preview for Sojourn #36...I look forward to picking these books up along with Negation War Part Four.

Just Negation War #4 and Sojourn #36 for me. All my fave Crossgen titles went bye-bye.

R.I.P., Ruse!

I absolutely love the cover to Brath #17! Too bad that is the last issue of the series (one of my fav series out right now, not just from CrossGen but comics period).

I’ll actually be picking up all of those except Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Route 666!

ok, I was scared that El Cazador was not on there, but it will be back. I am definatly going to pick up Raven House, that looks good, but Route 666! When did Karl Moline start doing that book, or have I just been out of the loop! Ack!

Yeah, I was worried when I read that Route 666 was ending. Glad to see that it's just evolving into a new book, which probly means a changing status quo, which is always good.

I was frightened there for a minute, but I see Route 666 will get a reboot. I'll pick up Route 666, Raven House, and Negation War for sure.

It's been said that a lot of the cancelled books will get reboots when they're movie counterparts come around (or at least that is what I think I saw somewhere).

That's actually an early pin-up and probably not the actual cover that will be used.
