by Various
The best swords are made from a variety of metals that, when forged together, create a blade stronger than the sum of its parts. So too with CrossGen's Compendia Series.
Forge #5 is a unique blend of fantasy, sci-fi, action, and adventure - one that cuts through genre conventions in a powerful new way. Speaking of swords, it will take a very special blade to take down the dragon in this month's triple-sized installment of
Sojourn (chapters 8-10). Or maybe it will take something other than a blade to eliminate this threat. No one can accuse the
Negation crew of bringing a knife to a gunfight in chapter 6 of this rollicking space odyssey. This one features more walrus people than ever before, as our intrepid escapees set out to rescue Captain Fluxor.
Meridian brings a brighter sense of adventure to the pages of
Forge, tempering the carnage of sci-fi spectacle with a dash of fairy-tale fantasy. But Sephie can certainly stand up for herself in a fight, as we see in chapters 23 & 24. Add to the mix three parts
Crux (chapters 11-13), the most cosmic CrossGen series of all. This installment marks a turning point for our six Atlanteans. Pulled a hundred centuries out of their own time, they begin to discover their new place in the universe. Unfortunately, their place is linked to the Negation. Finally, from the far-flung future we visit a world that recalls Japan's feudal past with a double dose of
The Path (chapter 4). The way of the sword is a hard path indeed, as General Ryuichi lays siege to the monastery of his old friend Obo-san, who is now a wanted man. Variety is certainly the spice of life, but it's also the key to the sharpest edge of entertainment -
Forge#5.
