I have to continue my reading of Sojourn at some point. I still need two issues. I'm starting to get desparate enough, I think I will order them from Lone Star.

Ruse was really good (IMO) when Waid was writing - I don't remember after that. I want to get into The Path and Way Of The Rat.....

I've just started reading Mystic and Sigil and both are surprisingly good. I wish someone would pick up the Cross Gen properties and start publishing these again, they were some great books.

I read that somewhere too, but haven't heard anything concrete. I think these were the best books to come out since Valiant and just wish Disney of someone would bring them back. :hope:

Someone posted over in the DU section that Disney bought all of Crossgen to get the rights to Abazzaad (or however you spell it)

That is one I haven't had a chance to try yet, I just picked up the first 6 issues of the Edge TPB and Meridian isn't in it. Ruse is gonna be my next read, the first 9 issues are reprinted in the 6 Edge books.

The beginning of Ruse, for me, is right up there with the BEST comic runs I have read. And like all crossgen books, it is visually stunning.

if you want meridian you will find it in the "forge" books not the edge books-i believe issue 1 of forge contains meridian 14 and 15 if i remember correctly...

i'm on meridian #6. it's a good read, i enjoy the art.

excited about ruse and way of the rat as well.

bro j, which sojourns are you missing?

Prob. not, but I have been looking for a bit. I knew a place that had multiple copies of a complete run but the guy wanted waaaaaay to much for them.

it's funny when people treasure the junk that we treasure!

what did you think about that artist getting canned from meridian in issue 6 (or whichever) ? pretty wild stuff.
