Let me let you in on some of the backstage thinking here at the continuity capital of the CrossGen Universe, aka SOLUS. When we started putting together this title, we had one goal in mind: reward the faithful. Not that we want to leave anyone new out of the picture, but we did want to show off the Big Picture for our loyal fans.
This book was designed to reward all those readers who stayed up late nights trying to win the deliberately difficult Wizard contest. We want to keep lobbing easter eggs to the CrossGeners, paying off on the little hints that those readers have scoured our pages to find. There are hundreds of Sigil-Bearers in our universe, and we hope to introduce you to as many of them as we can stuff in here while exploding the story of Andra across the starry skies. If George Pérez is the best we’ve got, our fans deserve to get him on a title catering to them. The CrossGen universe is a big ol’ place, and who better to cram it all inside a mere 22 pages than George?
If you’re a new reader, you are probably finding this book a little scary. That’s okay—it’s a little like being dropped off downtown in the biggest city in a foreign country—all confusion until you find your own personal Rosetta stone. We’ll try to make you comfortable until it all starts making sense. Lindy’s your key to comprehension; as she quizzes Andra to learn more, so will you.
There’s a lot to our universe, and even more in development. We’ve got a lot of things brewing in the stew, and SOLUS is the key to it all!
