Crossed Gets Die-Cut For C-Day On March 13th 2013

[Rich Johnston]

In March, it's one year since the first C-Day, to promote the Crossed series from Avatar.

So we're getting another one. The Crossed C-Day 2013 retailer promo kit consists of;

25 each of Crossed temporary tattoos, buttons, postcards, stickers and 15 new Crossed masks! Retailers will also get a special Crossed 2013 Annual Retailer Bonus Edition comic (SRP $19.99) available only in these kits to sell in your store or give away as a prize. The kits are sold at cost and retailers may order as many kits as you like to help satisfy your customer base.

But what's all the fuss about this year? Well for issue 25, Garth Ennis returns to the series he created, with Raulo Caceres on art.

So, can any store order the super set that's limited to 250? Or is it only for shops that are awesome at sales?

Also, pricing, if any, would be nice.

This book is garbage.

[The Xenos]

For the life of me I cannot remember if I dropped this from my pulls. I remember commenting that I was thinking about it. Eh. Maybe I will keep on till March. I kinda keep reading it almost more on freedom of speech grounds and just as a litmus test of what I can stomach. Also.. A nice book to read on the shitter, clense your system of filth body and soul.

Will the annual be collected in a future collection or is it a stand alone thing like the 3D special?

[Rick Verbanas]

The CROSSED: BADLANDS #25 DELUXE COLLECTOR BOX SET has a retail price of $99.99 US and all stores have the option to order it in the January Previews catalog out in a few weeks. Limited to only 250 units.

At this time, there are no plans to collect the Annual. For those who want Si Spurrier's backstory on Jackson, the mad Scotsman from Crossed: Wish You Were Here, will have to purchase the Crossed Annual. It is currently available in the December Previews catalog and fans should let their favorite local comic shop know to order a copy for them!

Hey Rick, thanks for the info. Already let my comic shop (Detroit Comics in Ferndale, MI) to get one for me. This is coming out about two weeks before my 35th birthday, so happy blood-day to me!

Also, My Little CROSSED Pony: Rape is Magical should be a serious contender for the crossover contest if there ever is one.
