Marvel will launch a new Crossgen imprint in March 2011, reviving two properties originally published by the shuttered publisher, Ruse and Sigil, with four-issue miniseries.

Sigil #1 will be written by longtime comic writer Mike Crey, with pencils by Leonard Kirk. The cover will be by Jelena Kevic-Djurjevic, with a variant cover by Ed McGuinness. The T+ time travel epic will sell for $2.99.

Ruse #1 will be written by Mark Waid, who recently went freelance after leaving his post as Chief Creative Officer for Boom! Studios , with art by Mirco Pierfederici. The cover is by Butch Guice and Mike Perkins, with a variant cover by Mitch Breitweiser. The T+ mystery series will also sell for $2.99.

Marvel has access to the CrossGen properties because new parent Disney acquired them for $972K in 2005 . Disney used a couple of them for Hyperion releases.

Disney also licensed Checker to collect comics previously released only as periodicals , including two Sigil volumes.

Oh god. Why? It wasn't interesting the first time....

I enjoyed Scion.

Simon Archard 's keen intellect and powers of deduction could rival Sherlock Holmes. I can hardly wait for Ruse "rebooted" to launch.
