CrossGen Comics.

*1 Rite of Passage (1-7; w Ron Marz; a Mark Lipka, John Dell, Steve McNiven, Brandon Peterson, Claudio Castellini, Caesar Rodriguez, Andrew Crossley). [From CrossGen Comics: It wasn't Giselle Villard's moment. It was her sister's. On the world of Ciress, where magic not only reigns supreme but is part of everyday life, younger Giselle devoted herself to the party life. Older Genevieve had spent her years practicing sorcerous rituals. She had devoted her entire existence to only one goal: taking her place among the magical Masters of her world. But when the moment of glory was upon her, something went horribly, horribly wrong. Giselle was graced with a mysterious mark, wrenching magical power away from not only Genevieve but all the other Masters as well. Now Giselle has the potential to become the most powerful Mystic her world has even seen...if she can survive the experience.]
2 The Demon Queen (8-14, CrossGen Chronicle 5; w Ron Marz; a George Pérez, Jason Baumgartner, Pablo Marcos, John Dell, Brandon Peterson, Kevin Sharpe). [From CrossGen Comics: Unwittingly and unwillingly, Giselle Villard has become the mystical protector of Ciress, a world where magic is the rule rather than the exception. When an accident allowed Giselle to absorb the vast magical might belonging to Ciress' traditional leaders, the Guild Masters, they vowed nothing would stop them from regaining what was rightfully theirs. Now the Guild Masters ponder the unthinkable. In order to destroy Giselle, they plan to release the greatest threat Ciress has ever faced: the demon queen Animora, an uncontrollable evil who nearly conquered their world once before.]
3 Siege of Scales (15-20; w Ron Marz, Tony Bedard; a Matt Ryan, John Dell, Brandon Peterson, Joe Weems V, Fabrizio Fiorentino). [From CrossGen Comics: Giselle Villard believes she's finally settled into her role as protector of the magical planet of Ciress. After all, she's already defeated Animora, the greatest threat to ever face her world. Anything else should be easy, right? Except Animora wasn't truly defeated. She lies in wait and prepares her final revenge, a plague of literally monstrous dimensions. If the demon queen has her way, her Siege of Scales will leave Ciress a shattered ruin, and Giselle a lifeless husk.]
4 Out All Night (21-26; w Tony Bedard; a Matt Ryan, Al Rio, Fabrizio Fiorentino, Roland Paris). [From CrossGen Comics: Giselle Villard never asked to become the mystical protector of planet Ciress. Nonetheless, she bravely shouldered the burden of ultimate power and faced down arcane archenemies that threatened to destroy her magical world. Now all she wants is a little rest and relaxation with her old party-pals. She's going to learn the hard way that her fun-loving past is over, her so-called friends hide dark secrets of their own, and the forces of sinister sorcery aren't finished with her yet!]
5 Master Class (27-32; w Tony Bedard; a Fabrizio Fiorentino, Aaron Lopresti, Matt Ryan). [From CrossGen Comics: On a world where society is based upon magic, ultimate power rests in the hands of the last person who wants it: Giselle Villard, professional party girl! Now attempting to embrace her new responsibilities, Giselle visits each Guild Land to learn their magic…but trouble awaits!]
