Collecting The First #8-13, plus almost 30 pages of back-up stories,
this volume continues the personality politics of the "First," gods of the
CrossGen Universe in the process of being deposed from that self-proclaimed role
because of the creation of the Sigil-Bearers. Anxiety over the powerful new
arrivals has ruptured the fault lines in the social structure of the First,
causing Ingra, Leader of House Sinister, to make a bold move to begin her
planned takeover of House Dexter. Seahn has collected together the unhappy
second-born, ready to demand that they be given equal status to the First.
Persha, Ingra's daughter, sneaks over to House Dexter to meet Pyrem, her father
and Leader of that House. And Gannish the Truthseeker visits a small blue-green
globe and learns a frightening truth about the reality of the First. Written by
Barbara Kesel, with art by Bart Sears, Andrea Di Vito, and Andy Smith, with inks
by Smith, Rob Hunter, Andrew Hennessy, John Dell, Drew Geraci, and colors by
Mike Atiyeh, Jason Lambert, and Rob Schwager. New cover by Bart Sears and
Michael Atiyeh.
