Each issue contained between 6 and 11 issues. * ''Forge'' (13 issues, reprints of ''Crux'', ''Meridian'', ''Negation'', ''Sojourn'', ''The Path'', ''Route 666'') * ''Edge/Vector'' (13 issues, reprints of ''The First'', ''Mystic'', ''Ruse'', ''Scion'', ''Sigil'', ''Way of the Rat'', and ''Solus'') After 12 issues, ''Edge'' was renamed ''Vector'' due to a trademark conflict with another company. A third compendium called ''Caravan'' was never released. Roughly halfway through the run of the compendia, their format changed from standard comic size to a half-page sized [[digest size|digest format]], usually with a higher page count. CrossGen later used this compendium format to collect runs of single titles, such as ''Meridian'' and ''The Path'', to reported success. ===Promotional and related titles=== * ''CrossGen Sampler'' (a free promotional comic which included several pages from each of CrossGen's first five titles) * ''CrossGen Primer'' (a promotional comic bundled with an issue of ''[[Wizard (magazine)|Wizard]]'' magazine) * ''Wizard CrossGen Special'' (a later promotional comic bundled with ''Wizard'' magazine) * ''CrossGen Illustrated'' (softcover book with art and information on several Sigilverse titles) * Pre-release ''Reader review copies'' of the first issue of several series, some in black and white. ===Additional titles=== In addition to its Sigilverse comics, CrossGen published a number of additional titles: {| class="wikitable" |- !
