THE RED STAR to CrossGen

CrossGeneration Comics' new publishing imprint, CG Entertainment, will begin publishing THE RED STAR starting with issue #10, the beginning of the book's newest story arc, scheduled for release in November.

THE RED STAR will be the first independent comic to carry CG Entertainment's logo, and be solicited and distributed to the direct market under the new CGE label. CG Entertainment is a publishing entity owned by CrossGen Comics that would publish non-CrossGen Universe comic book projects.

Diamond Comic Distributors has allowed CrossGen to assign its publishing Supply Agreement to CGE and allow CrossGen to publish and distribute non-CrossGen continuity titles - such as THE RED STAR - through CGE, as well.

"THE RED STAR is one of the most beautiful comics being published today, and what Team Red Star has been going through in order to get their book to market is a perfect illustration of why CGE exists," CrossGen's Mark Alessi says. "The fact that these guys have had to work so hard to get this book on shelves is ridiculous. We believe in their book, we believe in their commitment to quality and we believe that together we can pave the way for a long and prosperous run with one of the highest quality comics on the market today.

Team Red Star's new publishing imprint, Archangel Studios, will provide CGE with the finished product, which CGE will solicit, distribute and market.

"CGE is exactly what we've been looking for," says Christian Gossett, creator of THE RED STAR and co-owner of Archangel Studios. "We have had nothing but respect for the way CrossGen has approached the comics industry, and as independent creators, we feel that CGE allows us to tap into the best of both worlds. We get to create THE RED STAR the way we always have, but then we also get to benefit from the market strength and marketing ingenuity of one of comics' movers and shakers."
