	Sigil: Mark of Power, Crossgen Comics
		Sigil: Mark of Power/$19.95 and 192 pgs., from Crossgen Comics/story: Barbara Kesel/principal artist: Ben Lai/available in comics shops and at www.crossgen.com.
		But Sigil is nothing but a nice homage to science fiction, full of stereotypes, and turns nothing upside down or inside out.
		Sigil is about two races in an intergalactic battle with gigantic space-ships and heavily armored human and alien warriors.

	Pulp and Dagger -- Review
		Sigil is a science fiction series set amidst a conflict between earth -- and related planets -- and a race of lizards, who not only are attacking humans, but who can literally evolve by eating higher lifeforms (meaning humans).
		This second TPB collection follows on the heels of the first and has Rey and his misfit crew of three (including a hologram/ghost of his dead best friend) arriving on the home planet of the woman Zanniati -- whom they just rescued from her evil husband, the sultan of a neutral world.
		CrossGen is a relatively new comics company that has clearly staked out alternative territory to the superhero-heavy DC and Marvel.

	Comic-Book Superstore: Sigil
		SIGIL is a panorama of intergalactic fleet actions and strange, alien worlds.
		A former drama major, Barbara Kesel has been in the comic book industry since 1981, when she wrote a Batgirl backup story for Detective Comics while sitting in a tech booth monitoring a college play.
		Since then she has written for every major comic company as well as served as an editor at DC Comics and worked on almost every DC title, including Watchmen, and developed the DC/TSR line.

		At the time I really had more a plan of being a freelance illustrator and doing comics when I could, not monthly superhero books but the ones that interested me. I went through an illustration program and sadly as I was going through the program I saw that the industry was dying.
		One of his first comics projects was such a vicious experience, it made Perez never want to work on another anthology.
		Comics may not be widely read, but the artform has some friends in high places, including novelist Michael Chabon and filmmaker Robert Rodriguez.

		Now, the Sigil game world is supposedly zoneless, but, like DAoC, there are lines where you move from one "area" to the next; and, that requires a moment to load.
		But, it became exceedingly difficult for me to tell when we were done talking about the direction of Sigil's game, and when we'd begun talking about their aspirations for the industry.
		As the discussion tapered off into me rambling about ineffective, non-functional armor, and the Sigil team asking me what I wanted to see in a 3rd generation game, Cindy came in to let us know it was time for dinner.

		You see, a good number of the folks that work at Sigil now are the same folks that supported GU when they were at Verant/SOE.
		We park and enter; this was it, the brain house of the Sigil staff.
		Inside Sigil Headquarters was exactly what I expected from a new development staff hard under the gun to produce the next "industry defining standard".

		They generated their share of controversy, first by attempting to change the comic employment status quo for the better, and then (ironically enough) by failing to follow-through on payments to some of their artists.
		Two brothers were to be given the sigil, both leaders of nations — one a kind ruler, and one ruthless.
		As the story begins, the kind brother was murdered by the ruthless one, and the sigil went to his daughter instead.

	Sigil, vol. 1: Mark of Power TPB
		Fortunately for them, there happen to be a pair of soon-to-be allies at the match, one JeMerik Meer (enigmatic Tanipali security chief with many secrets to keep) and one Zanniati (just the one secret - she's an escaped wife of a sultan who wants her back badly).
		As the battle rages, Sam is grabbed by a mysterious Saurian and imprinted with a sigil, while his partner Roiya takes a mortal shot to the body.
		Sigil is sci-fi in the grand old sense of the word, conjuring up classics of the past like Doc Smith to contemporary military sci-fi greats like Dickson and Drake.

		Samandahl Rey was a loner, a wandering ex-soldier whose sense of responsibility extended only to himself and to his friend, Roiya Sintor – until the Sigil was forced upon him, a brand of vast power that changed his destiny forever.
		In 1987, Mark joined DC Comics as a staff editor and two years later left to pursue a full-time freelance career that spanned the 1990s and into the early 2000s.
		With his encyclopedic knowledge of comics history, Mark also serves as an historian; he has published hundreds of articles and four books on the subject, and has fielded research questions from sources as diverse as Time, Variety, and the Library of Congress.

		A centuries-long war between humans and reptilian Saurians is thrown into high gear when mysterious power-enhancing sigils are given to massive human warrior Sam Rey and his mortal enemy, the equally hulking Saurian Tchlusarud.
		In this collection of six installments from the monthly comic, both characters are brought to the test.

		Intended as an "independent comics" line, Code 6 takes its name from the Florida police signal code meaning "escaped prisoner." While no titles have officially been announced, CrossGen hints that already they have received a lot of interest.

	Sequential Tart: Generating a New Direction in Comics (vol III/iss 7/July 2000)
		Led by writers Barbara Kesel (Meridian, Sigil) and Ron Marz (Mystic, Scion), the creative team behind CrossGen's comic books are a collection of new-comers and old-timers who have come together in Florida to bring fruition to President Mark Alessi's dream of a comics company that pushes the boundaries of the industry.
		From this premise, the stories within the comics themselves will be longer ranging, more complex, and paced differently than a comic with shorter stories to tell.
		So the question is if this new direction in comics will continue, whether the dedication and skill shown by the staff (both in management and in the creative departments) will rise, and whether the product will continue to be on time, without gimmicks, consistent, and creative.

	:: Douglas Rushkoff - Weblog ::
		To most people this will seem like just another graphic novel, but to anyone like me whose time as a youth was laced heavily with occult practice, Club Zero G is a deliberate and effective form of modern day Pop Magick.
		Whatever the case, readers should not feel afraid of approaching the sigil Club Zero G. After all, if it works the future might not turn out as bleak as it presently looks.
		My own conclusion is that media-based sigil magick, such as utilizing comic books as it were (mediamancy?) and memetic engineering are probably one and the same.

		Gammid was able to return all the powers of all the Sigil bearers (plus Evinlea) and he woke Corrin up to the reality of her situation.
		It was revealed in the series that there were five Sigil-Bearers taken by the Negation, though apparently only four survived the "Extinction Wave", a weapon which rendered the prison planet into a burnt husk.
		The fifth Sigil-bearer, a blue-skinned, blue-haired individual with the Sigil marked on the right side of his neck, was shown in the Negation Prequel, though his name and his abilities were never mentioned.

		It's also one of the four sigil series (Sigil, Scion, Sojourn, and Meridian) that go on to Negation War, which I think is out in TPB.
		Anyway, Meridian is about this girl named Sephie, and her father is the minister of Meridian, and then stuff happens which I'm not going to give away, and she has to go live with her uncle, who you know is the bad guy from the instant he walks into the room.
		This, however, is one of the only sigil series wioth more than one Sigil-Bearer (FYI, the sigil bearer is usually the main character), Sephie and her uncle.

	Footnote Comics
		Most CrossGen comics take place on other planets evoking different parts of Earth's history; Crux does take place on Earth but in the far future when some of the ancient Atlanteans have been revived.
		Many of the comics are linked by a yin-yang-like "sigil" that gives some of the main characters special powers and by the First, a race of gods that has some mysterious connection to the "sigil."
		My favorite series are The Way of the Rat (Hong Kong-style action and humor), The Path (the Japanese-flavored saga of a monk rebelling against his insane king and the First), and Negation (a ragtag group of prisoners try to escape a universe dominated by an evil god).

		[From CrossGen Comics: Sam Rey is a marked man. Cashiered out of the centuries-old war between the human race and the Saurian Empire, Sam was the farthest thing from a hero.
		But when he was branded with a sigil granting him incredible power, Sam became far more than a washed-up ex-commando.
