The traveller versions were given out to the gypies in the UK to encourage reading.

Phantom · Post by **Phantom** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 4:43 am

Welcome to the club. Some of my favorite reading this last year has been Crossgen. Enjoy bro.

Read Ruse #1-12. WOW! Great.

Sorry Elveen ~ chuffed is another word in england for happy.

I have just got back from france with some good news about comics (and my son).

But I will not post untill someone is ready with a stur.

Thats right I will not post the cool info untill it can be confirmed that after I post someone is able to do a 'you tube link ' of someone doing the dance move the stur ~ you all know the one. Hands out in frount turning in a circler motion

ONCE confirmed ~ then let the good times role.

Phantom · Post by **Phantom** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 11:05 am

The information will not be released ~ untill my demands are met.

Does this have anything to do with King Stur-Gav? 'Cos all I can find is that or something about The Exchange at Sturminster Newton in the UK.

Nice

I cannot spell, its called 'the stir'. All I can find on you tube is silly school girls dancing.

All I want is a BIG UP after my fantastic post, A Cheer or mexican wave would be cool.

Trust me ~ I'm worth it.
I mean ~ It will be worth it.

Actually after all the hype you probably will not care

BUMP.

You thought you had a complete the checklist for Crossgen
Think again.

You are maybe 100 short

Interested??

Mexican wave, ready?

392 issues of Crossgen for me at last count. Win.

Phantom · Post by **Phantom** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 11:30 am

any french editions?

Want to know more ??

Drift · Post by **Drift** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 11:51 am

The only French edition book I have is a Spider-man HC which was given to me by a friend from Paris. I desperately want to crack it open and look through it but it looks so amazing in it's bag with all the extra bits.

Phantom · Post by **Phantom** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:10 am

read way of the rat. pretty cool.

I think with crossgen I will collect the trades only. Eally like not having to get another comic or open and bag or restack blah blah blah. You can just grabe it off the shelf and read

They have alot of trades, so I will stick with them. And collect only the issues that the trades don't.

I belive there are some handsome French collected editions of some Crossgen material out there. Ron Marz has mentioned some landscape reprints of The Path in French.

I have started reading Ruse. In the last couple of days (after reading the 21 Aftermath books from Devil's Due and my weekly books) I have read 1-8. Great stuff. An absorbing and entertaining read (even if I dispute use of the word 'teenager' in an early issue as an anachronism of sorts).

I just hope the Beatty issues maintain the standard set by Waid. The Guice art is amazing. Really recommended to anyone who hasn't touched the title.

I have not read much past the Waid stuff, but word on the street is, that they do not hold up, but maybe "they" are wrong.

Word on the street? Have you been talking to your 'connections' Mr Veen?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I am going to keep an open mind, especially as the one-shots were (I believe) by Chuck Dixon, whose writing I like a lot generally. I can't think of much by Beatty that I know I have read.

Is that one of them "code-words" like chuffed or bangers and mash?
