And when the great comics writer Alan Moore, already interested in the series Crossed via long conversations with friend and creator of the series, Garth Ennis, read Spurrier's work, it further cemented his decision to write a series within the Crossed universe himself. Moore's six-issue series with Gabriel Andrade on art, Crossed: +100 was announced by[...]

What more could you bring to a book that already has Mike Costa's guiding hand deciding to turn a whole mythological epic into a detective story and one that has Alan Moore ACTUALLY writing himself into a story as a reluctant priest of a returned largely unknown god, Glycon?
