The world's been overrun by sadistic homicidal maniacs. A small band of survivors crosses what's left of America, in constant danger and trying to hold onto what little humanity they can.In the blink of an eye, humanity is lost, and the Crossed are upon us. Men, women, and children alike fall victim to the mystery infection that makes killers out of parents and rapists out of lovers. Ruthless, berserk, and evil beyond measure, these cackling demons spread their plague across the Earth, brining humanity to near-extinction. Now, a small band of survivors make their cautious way across a deserted America, existing in a state of constant terror. The only thing they have in common is their determination to survive... but in this frightening new world, survival has a cost all its own. How far will they go to stay alive, and can they do so without become monsters themselves?

With Preacher's Garth Ennis and Neonomicon/Providence's Jacen Burrows. Crossed is definitely a good read, right?Wrong.This is from a reader who gets a certain guilty pleasure with gore and death. Volume one of Crossed crosses that moral line many times but didn't get to the satisfaction I wanted from reading such material. If gore and violence upsets you then Crossed is definitely a no-no in your read list. It displays a certain imagery that will definitely twist your mind and soul (so thanks,For me this is Garth Enniss most impressive book. Thematically similar to Robert Kirkmans 'The Walking Dead', 'Crossed' is the story of a dwindling group of survivors traversing an America ravaged by a virus which turns its victims into homicidal maniacs: dubbed the Crossed for the cruciform facial scarring that accompanies infection. Unlike the shambling Romero inspired roamers of Kirkmans dead-world, the Crossed are a pitiless embodiment of human cruelty, often cunning as well as ferocious,
this book was utter shit until the last few issues. and i'm kind of irritated i payed 30 bucks for it.reading Crossed is like reading through the journal of an adolescent trying his best to show how weird and fucked up he is, through a bunch of bad drawings. i kept hearing about how disturbing the book is and, honestly, i just don't see it. looking at pictures of goofy dudes humping severed limbs and circle-jerking around corpses, with big-ass comical grins on their faces is not disturbing; it's
Here goes my sleep and appetite and peace of mind. For Garth Ennis, story's apocalyptic premise, evocative of King's Captain Trips, was just an edgy excuse to craft a nauseating gore fest for its feral savages. There was even a character named Randall in the first few issues. Anyway, it was above my personal threshold for grossness and violence. Panels were filled with repeated instances of rape, child murders, cannibalism, and other perverted horrors I couldn't process. Other than working on a

I had tried to read this two or three times as an act of understanding the zombie genre, a kind of act of professional responsibility, to in part say, "I am not a snob and can, like any good critic, read anything and be 'objective' about just about anything!" and I gave up each time. The idea for Ennis and Burrows is this: if we are really in a sort of "zombie apocalypse," y'all are being too nice about it. Lord of the Flies? Kid stuff! Cormac McCarthy's The Road? Leaves out all the really
Take heed O ye of squeamish sensibilities:...seek thy entertainment elsewhere.Rarely am I be tempted to use the word VILE to describe a book to which Im giving 4 stars, but Garth Ennis, master of nasty with purpose that he is, has a way with dark satire that can be both brilliantly insightful and pornographically depraved at the same time.at least when hes on the top of his game. There are parts of Crossed are, if not vile, severely disturbing, and make this a difficult, difficult read (see
