In March, it's one year since the first C-Day, to promote the Crossed series from Avatar.

So we're getting another one. The Crossed C-Day 2013 retailer promo kit consists of;

The kits are sold at cost and retailers may order as many kits as you like to help satisfy your customer base.

But what's all the fuss about this year? Well for issue 25, Garth Ennis returns to the series he created, with Raulo Caceres on art.
