Crossgen's best title (it's NOT only girl comic)

OK, after reading Sandman, I tried Preacher. First book was great, others not so. I tried all kinda books, some were good like first issues of Strangers in Paradise and Mangas like Oh My Goddess and Blade of Immortal, there were some nice Marvel Knights like Paul Jenkins' stuff, but then I discovered Crossgen, well written comics which have well illustrated stories. I LOVED Meridian, The First, and , of course Mystic. They can be rated teen or all ages. Buy all trades of Mystic, both original writer and Tony Bedard were great. I got all trades of Mystic and read comics that follow. It's a SHAME if nobody publishes those comics collected as trade five, six and so on, because they get greater and greater near the end. As far as I know, Mystic and just a slightly weaker Meridian have story ending logically, there is a wrap up. Sojourn was more popular, but CrossGen bankrupted before story ended. Sniff :(

Great art, good story, and really...er...'hot' costumes

Giselle is your ultimate rich, beautiful, party animal and she likes it that way. Her sister Genevieve is the responsible one who is about to be promoted to guild master of one of the seven major guilds and gain access to the spirit of the founder of her guild (a magical spirit who has seen just about everything).All Giselle wants to do is party. All Genevieve wants is her sister to show up for the promotion and not embarass her. Someone or something else wants to shake up the world before it's too late. So suddenly Giselle has all the power of the seven guild spirits, the former guildmasters after her life, more power than she can handle and a heck of a lot more responsibility than she ever wanted. It does make life interesting, while she can keep it.The color quality and other production values are excellent. The art is very good (the monsters look monstrous, the beautiful women look beautiful, etc). The story is dramatic and compelling.
