Holy crap, you guys.

Okay, Image has been asking me to do a book for them for years, and I’ve always wanted to, but was either exclusive with someone else, or simply overworked. Then, I had this idea, and it would not go away.

That idea is CROSSWIND.

I found the perfect partner in Cat Staggs, a phenomenal artist who I have wanted to work with for ages. She immediately got what we needed, she elevated everything immediately. I adore her to pieces.  LOOK at that freaking cover!

CROSSWIND is an thriller fantasy about two people (a suave Chicago hitman and a wallflower Seattle housewife), who have nothing in common, who are suddenly and inexplicably forced to switch their entire lives. It’s sexy, dangerous, it’s unlike anything else on the stands. It feels like it’s printed on nitro. And I dearly, dearly love it.

I can’t wait for you to read it.

A lot of body swap stories have a lot of horseshit attached in the name of humor; sexism, racism, transphobia, and gay panic and more. This is not that book. I’ll be talking more about that, soon, but I think you are going to love these characters, Cason Ray Bennett and Juniper Elanore Blue. And I think a lot of us are going to feel for the situation they find themselves placed in. Both their lives are in danger, and they have to re-assess their entire worldview while running just to survive.

I can’t wait for you to read this, it’s unlike anything either of us have done before and the art is impossibly gorgeous. I’ve been saying it’s GOODFELLAS MEETS FREAKY FRIDAY, which made my friend Greg Rucka say, “That is the most Gail Simone thing I have ever heard!”

I believe we are going to have free posters at SDCC. The response so far has been ridiculous. I AM EXCITED, YOU GUYS.

As always, thank all of you for coming on this journey with us. None of these things would ever be allowed to happen if you hadn’t supported us all along. THANK YOU.
