Crossed appreciation thread

Guys guys guys
Take the time
Like really, really take the time
And think about it
Think hard
And remember
Crossed is still better the Walking Dead

Having not read either, I legitimately don't believe you.
One has a retard virus that can be spread by cumming on bullets
The other is just boring zombie story

the initial run of Crossed is decent enough with memorable moments, can't say the same for the spinoffs

TWD has been going on for too long

Eh. He's published by American publishers. Don't care where he was born, it's American publishers going "give that man a bigger soapbox!"

How does the Crossed virus even spread if this what infected do to their victims?

Really? Because it sounds like you agree with me.
One is actually fun and things happen - the other is a snoozefest by a hack who fucked up TWO endings to his own comics.
Between bad and boring bad is always infinitely better than boring.

It's like eating a greasy fatburger versus eating cardboard. It's not believable anyone would prefer cardboard no matter how bad the burger is.

>TWD has been going on for too long
It's over
They killed Rick off in the second to last issue, time jumped, and had old man Carl monologue the whole time.
Just... talking, talking, talking.
A zombie comic that forgets the zombies, sad!

Based and 1488pilled.

I'd compare it to eating a rotten burger or a pile of grease trap filters.

Both are inedible, one could have been edible but in no way shape or form is and some people are more bothered by that than something that is straight refuse but it's a matter of what offends the sensibilities more.

I haven't read much of it, but not all of the crossed are equally crossed: some are far more lucid and in control of their immediate impulses. They're the ones coming up with weird and unusual ways to spread the disease and create more crossed. I vaguely remember there's one issue that takes place during the tail end of this epidemic and one of these crossed was trying to establish a tribe of what was left of 'his' people. Most of the initial crossed had died out due to their own self-destructive violent behavior or were killed in confrontations with survivors.

Anyway long story short he was betting on sexual reproduction to make more crossed, but all of his babies miscarried.

Crossed Badlands had a good mix of stories. Not all of them good mind you but enough for me to keep reading.

Issues 1-3 were a great start to the series, the next arc starts off strong but becomes shit towards the end.

The two issue arc with the first lucid Crossed was pretty cool. The ones with those British commando's were great as well.

At some point between issue 60-70, there was a alright story where we saw a depiction of a proper military response to the Crossed which was very fun to see.

>but not all of the crossed are equally crossed

It depends on you're brain structure. If you had epilepsy for example, it would affect you differently.

My headcanon has always been classic fleas, mites and mosquitoes. The vector otherwise couldn't possibly overwhelm billions of people as the vast majority would be dead within the day by their hand or other infected. Fire burns too fast to reach the whole forest.

Also the amount of 'survivors' who with full knowledge of the contact based vector for months continue to wear skin showing clothing is so fucking infuriating.

In the Crossed webcomic, a child was inadvertently infected by some crows who were carrying and snacking on dead Crossed flesh.

There seems to be a lot of people who think heads are easy to slice off with anything

The web-comic has always been the smartest of the works, though not a very high bar. Of course then you carry it to its logical conclusion and realize mosquitoes and flies necessitate wearing 24/7 hijabs.

People are made of wet sausage in Crossedverse or any gorn media.
You see people losing limbs to single kitchen knife swings here, it's not a very anatomically respectful work.

>There seems to be a lot of people who think heads are easy to slice off with anything

Its funny. Human bodies are more durable yet at the same more frail than people realise.

If a Crossed was pinned on top of me, it would probably kill me or turn me, but I might manage to stab it which could turn fatal over the long run.

>but I might manage to stab it which could turn fatal over the long run.

Realistically, like, 90% of the Crossed would be dead from their -mostly self inflicted- injuries or wounds within a week and the surviving uninfected people merely being plagued by that small minority who managed to not kill themselves.

Her head is still on the beach in the third panel.

I trying to think how to survive in
The crossed world. My biggest theory that I will build a safety room and probably buy /steal a shitload of cans. And eat potatoes for the next 30 years. Water would be a problem.

The shit the Crossed are doing on the varient pages might look intimidating until you realize stitching more face flesh to your face and never bathing is asking for nature to smite you with the War of the Worlds solution.

>See? Senseless violence! That's so cool amirite?? Definitely better than The Walking Dead
it's as boring as the walking dead, if not worse. people get used to all the blood and gore, the shocking value quickly fades away. all that remains is yet another post apocalyptic survival comic. yaaay

If you're thinking realism, most of the Crossed should and would be dead within a week of C-day were it not for writer feint making surviving the elements a problem for uninfected not the crossed.
The real question is at what point does a contaminant cease being a problem, if a Crossed spits on a step by what time would it be safe to walk barefoot on it?

The most dangerous Crossed would be the lucid Crossed who can do shit like burn their face to hide their cross and infiltrate settlements.

They had that in Crossed 100+
