CRUX #1 / CrossGen Comics - 2001

  How does Earth relate to the CrossGen Universe? Who is buried there, waiting to be revived? Superstars Mark Waid, Steve Epting, and Rick Magyar bring the newest CrossGen epic to life! On a planet long dead, the sleepers of an ancient race lie beneath the ocean's surface, patiently awaiting their resurrection. For millennia, they have dreamed only of recapturing the peaceful, happy lives they abandoned long ago. Unfortunately, the world into which they awaken isn't a dream, but a nightmare - a horror of chaos and destruction which will transform them either into heroes... or into corpses.

Crux #1 (2001) is the launch point for one of CrossGen’s most ambitious sci‑fi/fantasy series, and the first issue sets up a sweeping mystery about the fate of humanity and the ancient race that shaped it.

They awaken from stasis expecting to rejoin a thriving Earth… and instead find a world abandoned.
