*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!] |
