MYSTIC Omnibus

One of the five flagship titles published by Crossgen using the company's "Sigilverse" shared universe. On a world where society is based upon magic, ultimate power rests in the hands of the last person who wants it: Giselle Villard, professional party girl! Meanwhile, her sister, Genevieve, has devoted her life to one of the seven mystical guilds that preside over the world. But a mysterious event grants Giselle the Sigil -- a mark empowering her with uncanny abilities. Giselle's new power puts her at odds with the Guild Masters, her own sister and her world's greatest evil: Animora, a creature of almost limitless power who nearly destroyed Ciress once before...

Cross Generation Comics or CrossGen was an American comic book publisher that operated from 1998 to 2004. The company's assets were acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 2004. In July 2010, Disney re-established the brand through Marvel Comics, who announced plans to revive CrossGen titles; thus this appears under the Marvel imprint. In 2011, Marvel Comics relaunched Mystic as a four-issue limited series in 2011 written by G. Willow Wilson with art by David López. In this continuity reboot, Giselle and Genevieve are now poor orphan sisters in the steampunk world of Hyperion. They secretly teach themselves the Noble Arts, a magical technology which only the nobility are allowed to study. Wilson described the series as "high-fantasy Mean Girls meets Les Misérables". It was collected, also in 2011, as The Tenth Apprentice. Mystic ran for 43 issues (July 2000 – January 2004). This collects the entire run. Rush Service and International shipping could require an additional charge.
