The earliest single-author work in the LNH, Cry.Sig tells the story of the Legion as it faces its greatest threat to date: the power of the Crossover Queen! This mini set the stage for everything that was to follow.

It came out in September of 1992 and was written by Jeff Barnes.

In All Things Dark and Scary, it was revealed that the original Occultism Kid had died in the Cry.Sig, but a malfunction in the TANDI restored him to life. The Occultism Kid: Year One series would have explored these events, but only a prologue was written.
