    I just wanted to correct a caption on the Artist's Choice website. On the page showcasing some of my commissioned sketches the picture of Nalia of Taroc (from CrossGen Chronicles #5) is incorrectly credited as a Scarlet Witch (with some original costume presumedly done for the customer).

    I don't know if anyone pointed this out yet, but the "Scarlet Witch new costume design" image from the ArtistChoice site is not the Scarlet Witch -- but a character from the Mystic-spotlight issue of Crossgen Chronicles.

    The Magic Goes Away -- with a Bang! For seventeen issues, Ron Marz helmed the exploits of Giselle in the pages of Mystic. Recently, he passed the writing honors to Tony Bedard... but it turns out that Marz wasn't quite ready to depart. No, he had one more story to tell... and tell it he does, in the pages of CrossGen Chronicles #5.

      I am doing a pin-up for Marvel's tribute book to benefit the NY relief effort with CrossGen Comics' permission and blessing. It was important for me to contribute this way since, as a diabetic, I don't even have the option of donating blood. I did have to get some more pages of CROSSGEN CHRONICLES #5 finished first since I didn't want inker Pablo Marcos to be without work during any of this. Due to various circumstances, including having our 20th wedding anniversary European vacation cancelled due to the terrorist attacks, (my wife and I were supposed to fly out on Sept. 11th) I've fallen behind schedule, although not severely enough to jeopardize CHRONICLES #5's shipping on time.

      Synopsis:
      Every school child on Ciress knows the story of how the Guild Masters first imprisoned Animora centuries ago. Now Giselle will learn the secret truth of what happened, and the sacrifices that were made, in order to defeat the greatest threat her planet has ever faced. George Pérez is on hand for Ron Marz’s MYSTIC swansong.

      George [Perez] WILL be completing issues 3 (Meridian), 4 (Sigil), and 5 (Mystic) before he does the honorary issue 6 (AvsJLA HA HA!) and then the real issue 6 (not telling). Both George and Mark Alessi worked very hard to make both events--George's coming aboard as a CrossGen employee AND fulfilling the decades-delayed wish of every comics fanboy with the Big Battle between the Big Two--happen. Which is SO cool.
