Editing CrossGen (section)

===Following titles===
In November 2000, the [[Homeric]] myth ''The First'' was released and, steadily over the next three years, CrossGen released many more titles.

The following were released in 2001: ''[[Crux (comics)|Crux]]'' (based on the Atlantean myth); ''[[Sojourn (comics)|Sojourn]]'' (an epic fantasy in the style of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''); ''[[Ruse (comics)|Ruse]]'' (a [[Victorian literature|Victorian]] [[detective fiction|detective story]]); and ''[[Negation (comics)|Negation]]''.

In the following year, these titles were released: the [[horror fiction|horror story]] ''[[Route 666 (comics)|Route 666]]''; the [[wuxia]] [[comedy]] ''[[Way of the Rat]]''; and the [[samurai]] drama ''The Path''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://scoop.diamondgalleries.com/scoop_article.asp?ai=725&si=121|date=July 26, 2002|title=CrossGen Continues Worldwide Expansion|publisher=[[Gemstone Publishing]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070318064717/http://scoop.diamondgalleries.com/scoop_article.asp?ai=725&si=121|archive-date=March 18, 2007}}</ref>

The company enjoyed great initial success, with fifteen [[Harvey Award]] nominations in 2002.<ref>"Newswatch: From Zero to Fifteen: Newcomer CrossGen Zooms Past Marvel and DC, Second Only to Fantagraphics in Harvey Nominations", ''The Comics Journal'' #242 (Apr. 2002), pp. 23-24.</ref>

In 2003, other titles were released expanding the fictional universe: the [[sword and sorcery]] epic ''[[Brath]]'';
''[[Chimera (CrossGen)|Chimera]]'', a limited series about a Sigil-bearer on the far reaches of the Universe; the [[pirate]] adventure ''[[El Cazador (comics)|El Cazador]]''; and two other titles that explain the origin of the Sigil-bearers, ''[[Solus (comics)|Solus]]'' and ''[[Mark of Charon]]''.

Titles such as ''Negation'' and ''Crux'' blended genres. Although most CrossGen titles shared common elements (such as a Sigil, the presence of a Mentor and a member of the god-like First), the titles rarely crossed over with each other. The major example of crossing over was Sam of ''Sigil'', who spent four issues in the world of ''Brath'' and part of one issue in the world of ''Meridan'', with the latter period also being told from Sephie's perspective in issue #20 of ''Meridan''. There was one company-crossover event, the ''[[Negation War]]'', but was never concluded.
