Crossed is a comic series written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Jacen Burrows (for the first ten issues). To describe it succinctly, this is what happens when Garth Ennis goes to his really bad place.Beginning in 2008, people throughout the world begin coming down with a virus, which is spread through contact with bodily fluids and overcomes its victims almost instantly. Once a human succumbs to the virus, they get a distinctive facial rash across their forehead and face and a desire to murder, rape, cannibalize, set aflame, desecrate and rape again anyone they come across, like the "reavers" of Firefly. Within a day of the virus's appearance, most communities are bands of isolated survivors who are trying to A) stay alive and B) remember why they want to stay alive in the first place.Crossed is largely devoid of Ennis's trademark Black Comedy, though occasional glimmers do shine through. It is a grim, grim book, sure to prove an endurance test for most readers. While works like The Boys and Preacher might wallow in silly violence for some sick laughs, Crossed (or at least the original) actually shows a lot of restraint in how it treats the violence, devoting a lot more time to putting a human face on the misery of the survivors. The carnage is described a lot more than it's shown, but when it's shown...Following the success and near-instant optioning of the original series, Avatar Press opted to turn Crossed into a franchise. It consists of the original series, two follow-up miniseries, an ongoing anthology comic, a spin-off set in the distant future, and two webcomics. | |
