Scion was an American comic book published by CrossGen Entertainment from July 2000 to April 2004. It was cancelled due to the bankruptcy of Crossgen Comics Inc in 2004.

[edit] Plot Synopsis

The story of Scion mainly concerns Ethan, youngest prince of the Heron Dynasty. He is accompanied by Skink, a member of the Lower Races and his best friend. While the Heron and Raven Dynasties have been at war for hundreds of years, there exists at the beginning of the tale a relative peace between the two Kingdoms. This peace doesn't last.

Ethan is later joined by Ashleigh, the princess of the Raven dynasty, and a bounty hunter named Exeter, who is a genetically modified humanoid. The main antagonist is Prince Bron of the Raven Dynasty, the older brother of Ashleigh. Bron is determined to kill Ethan and Ashleigh.

The group experience many events, most notably

  • A war between the Heron and Raven kingdoms,
  • The establishment of a free nation for the lower races on an isle in the middle of a great ocean instigated by Ethan and Ashleigh,
  • Invasion by a foreign nation with an army of mechanical robots.

Ethan does not realize that his childhood friend is an agent of greater powers. Ethan's thinks Skink is just a normal (if small) humanoid but he is really a fragment of Danik. Bron's advisor is Mai Shen who is really a member of The First. Mai Shen does not tell Bron much about her background but she does reveal her super-human nature to Bron when she gives him a part of her powers.
