Book Description
Long ago Earth's first sentient beings undergo the Transition, a state of perfect enlightenment that transcends corporeal existence. A small group remains behind to help shepherd the fledgling human race to the next stage of evolution. Locked in stasis chambers, they are buried deep beneath the waves along with the rest of Atlantis. 100,000 years later, six survivors awaken to find that the human race is missing, Earth has been turned into an amusement park, and swarms of giant, alien bug creatures plot to take over the planet. It's up to these time-lost Atlanteans to clean up the mess - if they can manage to get along for more than five minutes! Beginning in the distant past and plunging into a far-flung future, Crux is a Sci-Fi adventure with much heroism and humor. In Crux V. 2 wandering the remains of an abandoned future Earth, the Atlanteans must contend with the warrior forces of the Negation, a terrifying and ruthless extra-dimensional race. Their only hope of survival is find the long-lost human race - but every exploratory mission simply takes them further into danger. Crus is a science-fiction series not about science but about people, about an ad hoc team of six strangers learning to depend upon one another for their very survival. Smart - with heart.
From the Publisher
Born March 21, 1962 in Hueytown, Alabama, Mark Waid bought his first comic in 1966 at the beginning of TV's Batmania and has never once since entertained the notion of not buying comics. 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. That period led to award-winning runs on The Flash for DC Comics and Captain America for Marvel Comics. In 1996, he co-created the Eisner award winning Kingdom Come at DC Comics. Since then, he has worked for every major comics publisher and has authored a broader range of well-known comics characters---including Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and Archie---than any other writer in the history of the medium. 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. Mark writes Ruse at CrossGen, nominated for a 2002 Harvey Award as Best Series and for Best Single Story, and for which Mark himself was nominated as Best Writer.
