Michael Avon Oeming and Ivan Brandon's 4-Issue Mini-Series The Cross Bronx, published by Image Comics, seamlessly mixes police procedure and the supernatural.

The story that follows Detective Rafael Aponte as he investigates a mysterious gang slaying that quickly brings him face to face with an unearthly beauty. Taking out her revenge on the city, she challenges Aponte's faith in the law as it clashes with his faith in God - or lack thereof.

"I'm very enthusiastic about Cross Bronx," Oeming said.

"The Cross Bronx is the first thing I've co-written as I'm also illustrating it, which has been a refreshing mix for me. I think any fan of POWERS or Fell will really dig what we're doing with this book."

Ivan Brandon adds, "It should be clear by now that I'm a little obsessed with the intricacies of the street-level crime world. And Mike's fascination with the city itself, with the tiny details that make up an authentic Bronx environment, have made this a dream project across the board."

"Visually, this is Mike at his absolute peak. The level of craft he's bringing to this really surpasses any of the work he's done in comics at any point in his career. Every new page is darker and more phenomenal than the last. Writing for him on this could not be more daunting."

The Cross Bronx #1 hit stores on September 13th, 2006 and concluded with issue #4 on December 6th, 2006.

The collected series will be published in the trade paperback format and available in stores March 7, 2007.
