Crossed +100 Continues, and Uber Gets a Massive Slipcase in Avatar Press Solicits for April 2018

Published Sat, 13 Jan 2018 12:00:31 -0600

Bleeding Cool is owned by Avatar Press and always has been. Such a clear conflict of interest. Obviously, Avatar Press is going to use Bleeding Cool to promote its own products and projects. Well, you'd have thought.

But last month I had to read about their March 2018 solicitations on the Diamond Previews website, rather than them telling their own in-house reporting team.

Would this month be any better? No. Instead, I found the April 2018 solicitations listings on their sister-retail site Comics Cavalcade.

You know, they have my email address and everything.

Anyway, they have the new series of Crossed +100 written by Amazing Spider-Man writer and Netflix Daredevil's Christos Gage. And a massive slipcase volume of Star Wars/The Wicked + The Divine writer Kieron Gillen's Uber series.

Two epic tales in every giant-size Crossed +100 Mimic issue! The world of Crossed +100 was created by Alan Moore and introduced us to an entire civilization and language set one hundred years after the Crossed outbreak devoured humanity. Now Christos Gage delves into that future with MIMIC, as one of Beau Salt's disciples invades a military base to pick apart the best and brightest. Each issue also has a second feature as writer Pat Shand teams up with artist Raulo Caceres to deliver a chapter of AMERICAN HISTORY X, based on the events Moore spotlighted as key points in the saga. Available with a sizzling array of covers: Regular by Gabriel Andrade, History X Wraparound and American History X by Raulo Caceres, Fatal Fantasy and Hellish Homage by Renato Camilo, and Ms Mayhem by Christian Zanier. Don't miss the three-cover Crossed Over set by Matt Martin, each limited to just 250 copies, nor the Century (of Blood) cover limited to 100 copies also by Camilo.
