Line 27:
CrossGen also published a number of books that didn't take place within the Sigilverse, and weren't related to it at all. Since these projects were taken on in the later days of the company's existence, many of them didn't last long, and quite a few were announced but never published, as the company declared chapter eleven and eventually sold all its assets to Disney. Notable among these is ''[[Abadazad]]'', a surreal children's fantasy title which was the incentive for Disney buying CrossGen out, and thus continues to be published.
 
[[Marvel Comics]] has [https://web.archive.org/web/20131021125931/http://marvel.com/news/story/14857/marvel_announces_a_new_imprint announced a CrossGen imprint], starting with 4-issue limited series of ''Ruse'' and ''Sigil''. While ''Ruse'' still stars detective Simon Archard, the new ''Sigil'' series appears to be [[In Name Only]], starring "Samantha Rey, a 16-year-old girl from South Carolina who gets swept up in a war beyond her understanding and may possess the power to turn the tide in the form of a mysterious symbol on her chest even she doesn't understand", and described as "epic fantasy on a colossal scale, ultimately spanning the whole of human history." Subsequently, a third title was added, ''Mystic'', which keeps the basic concept of "magical sisters in a fantasy world and the 'wrong' one is [[The Chosen One]]", but relocates it to a Steampunk Disney movie.
 
{{creatortropes|Tropes found in the Sigilverse as a whole include:}}
* [[Call to Adventure]]: All the Sigil-bearers get a glowy tattoo and strange powers foisted on them without warning. Adventure ensues.
* [[Comes Great Responsibility]]: With glowy tattoo comes glowy responsibility, whether you want it or not.
