WASHINGTON - The value of sharing data on dangerous germs so vaccines and treatments can be developed outweighs the danger that bioterrorists may use the information to do harm, a scientific panel concluded Thursday.

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).
