CROSSGEN PUTS EL CAZADOR IN DRYDOCK

(excerpt)
Inquiries to the health of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang as a series were not answered by Barbara Kesel.
Additionally, the publisher’s Diamond listing cleared the books, so to speak, canceling the new printing of the first Sojourn trade as well as trade volumes 2-5; the first Traveler edition of Route 666, the third trade collection of Negation, and Warrior Women and Mythic Men: CrossGen Covers.
On the plus side, CrossGen is currently listed as having three books come out in August: Raven House #1, Negation War #6, and Abadazad #6. Lady Death: The Wild Hunt is apparently taking a skip that month. In addition, two trades are still on the schedule: El Cazador vol. 1 Traveler, and Lady Death Traveler vol. 2.

'COVER'-ING CROSSGEN'S WARRIOR WOMEN AND MYTHIC MEN
by Chris Partin, ComiX-Fan CrossGen Editor
CrossGen Comics has had its fair share of some of the industry's most talented artists from legends in the likes of George Pérez and Butch Guice to rookies like Josh Middleton and Steve McNiven. In December, CrossGen will release Warrior Women & Mythic Men, a new hardcover collection celebrating three years of CrossGen cover art. The publisher's Art Director, Brandon Peterson, took some time out to discuss the book with ComiX-Fan.
...
"They will see EVERYTHING," Peterson reassures fans. "I made a decision early on to show everything and fit it into a reasonable size, rather than make a humongous 500 page monster or have to selectively edit out over half of the covers we've done. We have alternate versions of published covers, partially completed covers that were never used, several versions of the same cover, and so forth. The only covers we didn't put in are some of our trade paperback covers that were often reused pieces of already existing art. I only wanted to put art that was purposed for covers specifically in the book."
"There is a minimum of commentary," Peterson continues. "CrossGen Illustrated had an immense amount of information provided by Barbara Kesel, and we wanted to do a very different product than that with this book. As CrossGen Illustrated can be thought of as a pictures 'illustrating' text, this book can be considered a pure art book."
