Maybe because my memory involved shapely women instead of gruff men in trench coats. Probably just because I am losing my mind. I thought the movie Paradox was corny and I don't particularly like Sorbo as an actor but somehow I enjoyed the movie in spite of both these things. I didn't realize that it was supposed to be based off the Mystic world.

Pretty much it starred a shapely socialite (thrust into magic politics) that went through a succession of men in trench coats, often in places that looked like 50's jazz bars with sprites serving the drinks.  Dont think it was actually related to the Sorbo thing as far as I know, just similar appearing. The new mystic is apparently supposed to change her to an orphan getting by on steampunk streets that manages to learn some magic, which belongs to the aristocracy.  Supposed to be more urbanly dark and grungy

I don't trust Marvel to do a better job than CrossGen did. CrossGen IMHO had some of the best writing and the best art I've seen in some time. It was what got me back into comic books after getting sick of DC and Marvel's endless soap operas and retconning and ignoring them for over 20 years. Unfortunately CrossGen did not, apparently, have a good business model and went under. I started slowly backing out of comic books again and now I probably don't read more than 2 or 3  year. I do still have way too many long boxes collecting dust.

It supposed to have writing by G. Willow Wilson, and Art by David Lopez, but Im not familiar with either.  Mostly Im curious if they are going to keep them as part of the same shared Sigilverse, or make them more stand-alone somehow, which would be disappointing.
