So is this shit actually worth a read or is it just edgy garbage for teenagers and sociopaths

Mixbag but mostly not worth it
Ennis' other works like Punisher Max and Hitman are better

Wish You Were Home is considered one of the better Crossed stories

alright i'll probably skip it then. I read the first issue of this shit and thought it was utter schlock, but i'd read people saying this and thought maybe this one would be worth it

Why the fuck are we getting so many Crossed threads all of a sudden, we JUST had a thread fucking hell Yea Forums had one last night. Is there a show coming out or something

I'm the same person
I thought you meant Crossed in general until I opened the image

>Is there a show coming out or something
there was a thaiwanese movie called The Sadness which is basically Crossed, that Yea Forums thread is where i heard about it

Crossed is unfortunately the most popular non Marvel/DC/licensed/Scholastic title I can think of without a show or movie accompanying it aside from Saga
The word of mouth spreads hard

i mean shock value is usually enough to get word to spread of something

It comes and goes. We'll get frequent shill-grade threads for a few weeks, then the guy making them will lose interest and all mention of Crossed will vanish for three or four months.

what i don't like about this series is how retarded the world-building is. do you turn in one second? do you turn in days? there's no consistency. and don't even get me started on shit that is just patently retarded, like the crossed that jack off on their bullets, so the bullet infects people. like, seriously? it shows how little research the author does on basic concepts. and it's completely arbitrary who gets to be a super-crossed that actually thinks still. like if you're going to do the zombie thing, the only thing that holds the plot together is if the infection and zombies are consistent.

if it had atleast consistency going for it there would be more to it than just shock value and gore porn.

You folks think that Ennis has problems with religion?

i reckon he might not be too fond of it, just a feeling i get

He was raised secular and saw the Troubles right before his eyes and thought the whole conflict was retarded

All of Crossed was edgy shit not worth reading.

Weird, I just managed to find this panel again.

imagine how many hours the artist spent drawing that

this author has a serious fetish for making muh stronk woman characters and then having them raped. really makes you think

a movie called The Sadness came out a few days ago, it's literally Crossed in some asian country.
they even have a scene where an infected fucks the eye hole of some fat bitch bound to a wheel chair.

>they even have a scene where an infected fucks the eye hole of some fat bitch bound to a wheel chair.
ya know, theres gotta be some kind of limit to the shit that goes into media some days. it really makes you wonder what kind of deranged people are into this shit.

What was the comic that was a sci fi where they had a Crossed-Crossover and the goggles on the characters did this loony-tunes like censorship in real time?

i hate the way they draw blood in this, looks so stupid

because that's real life

This just came out, literally an unofficial Crossed live action.
Surprised this was a Taiwan release and not another Korean movie
If this had a remake, they'd probably tone down the violance and go full woke

was it actually good or is it just gore porn

If you need to ask, you probably won't like it.

That been said, are you asking about the whole series or "Wish You Were Here"?

WYWH is among the stories I'd recommend reading other than the stuff that Ennis wrote himself and Crossed +100.

im pretty bored so i already am almost done with wish you were here, im not super impressed by it either, crossed +100 seems more interesting. This art style and the uber edge reminds me of the Spawn comics in the mid 2000s, what was it the apocalypse arc or whatever. maximum edge

Isn’t Crossed just an edgier version of the the Crazies?

I just watched the movie The Sadness was gore kino
If you like a bleak as fuck story and over the top gore you'll like it too.

This. I just read WYWH last night because it was free online.

One guy turns instantly and the other turns overnight.

This was supposed to be the "good" crossed story and it was edgy and mediocre.

yeah basically
is there anything interesting about the movie at all or is it just "wow look at all the money they spent to depict fucked up stuff"

yeah its kind of hard to follow too, at the beginning he spends all this time trying to not go on the sortie, but he also wants to? but he's a pussy yet also is a badass that literally gets away with almost everything early on? it's just silly writing no matter which way you slice it

>This was supposed to be the "good" crossed story and it was edgy and mediocre.
that shit where they wouldn't let people volunteer for literally no good reason was the dumbest fucking plot point. I don't know how anyone defends this shit.

Also too much of a goodguy to bang the mute whore, but wants to fuck the fifteen yr old muzzie showing her ass, but then banging the fifteen yr old is wrong after the other guy does it.

If this is the good crossed I wonder what the bad shit reads like.

>Also too much of a goodguy to bang the mute whore, but wants to fuck the fifteen yr old muzzie showing her ass, but then banging the fifteen yr old is wrong after the other guy does it.
yeah, it's small, stupid shit like this that just doesn't make any sense and isn't believable at all that really ruins the premise of the whole thing. and every character is forgettable. hey look it's maniacal asshole #1125434 aaaaaaaand now he's dead onto the next one.
>If this is the good crossed I wonder what the bad shit reads like.
bro the bad shit is fucking stupid. in the first issue of crossed, there's an old man member of the survivor group that literally has said maybe 10 lines MAX, until he RANDOMLY goes
>yeah actually i was uh, a serial killer before this!
and then the cast kills him off screen. it's utter tripe

I almost want to read it to see how shit it is now.

it's only like 9 issues so it's a short read if you want to. there's a crossed that runs around slapping dudes with a horse's cock which is relatively funny. but it's nothing you didn't read in WYWH

Sceanrio time.

Its the start of the outbreak and you are the president of a small developed country. How do you handle the Crossed?

It's impossible to contain, man.

i would probably kill myself right away to be honest. i don't think the crossed is really something the world recovers from, realistically.

I tell the citizens that there is one race: the human race. Followed by refugees welcome.

I then go to my bunker designed to let all senior officials and wealthy business interests to leisurely live underground for +100 years.

Let everyone know how it spreads and tell everyone to create distance between them and the crossed. Mobilize the airforce asap to bomb the shit out of affected areas. Tell the army to engage the crossed at a distance to minimize the chances of infection.

idk i want to kill myself rn so i think in a crossed scenario i'd go right ahead with that

I sit back and relax because the idea of a lasting crossed infection is inherently stupid. They're still human. They don't even gain any new powers, they still die from infection, the cold, and poor nutrition. Most of the crossed will die out in a month tops. The smart ones can only survive so long before the military kills them (which is easier to do especially since the crossed have a giant mark on their face telling them which person to shoot)

The worst case scenario is what happened in the comics which was a couple of the smarter crossed somehow launched nukes which seem beyond unlikely.

Nuke everything.
If we don't have nukes fire bomb everything
Leave nothing untouched burn everything to the ground.

>which was a couple of the smarter crossed somehow launched nukes which seem beyond unlikely.
i don't think they even launched the nukes themselves, they don't specify in the case of israel but the explosion at the start of the comics is from "pulling the control rods" at nuclear power plants, which shows how little thought they put into this shit considering it's literally impossible to make a nuclear power plant go off like a nuclear bomb.

>I sit back and relax because the idea of a lasting crossed infection is inherently stupid. They're still human. They don't even gain any new powers, they still die from infection, the cold, and poor nutrition. Most of the crossed will die out in a month tops.
thats a good point. it's a real leap of faith for him to have these stories with crossed lasting so long. they literally kill each other when they get bored, there's mathematically no sense in them persisting past a year or two en masse

You seem to forget how easily the infection spreads with even a single drop of infected bodily fluid going into your mouth eyes or wounds infecting you plus while zombies are just brain dead asshole that infect you buy trying to eat you. Crossed are fully aware they are contagious and will attempt to infect you buy putting their blood and piss all over their blades and bullets or just spitting in your face during a fight.

>blood and piss all over their blades and bullets
the whole putting shit on bullets to make them infectious always pissed me off, there's no way the virus could survive the heat of being on a bullet fired through a gun

You sure about that? I could have sworn that shit worked in real life by covering bullets in poison and shit. to make sure anyone who survives being shot still get's a terrible infection

>I could have sworn that shit worked in real life by covering bullets in poison and shit.
it absolutely does not

maybe an arrow

>You sure about that?
yeah that shit doesn't work.maybe you could argue like oh the crossed virus is like, super hardy and can withstand being outside of the body or something, but even then, the shit the virus is in like bodily fluids would be burnt off by the bullet being fired.

The first series, WYWH and 100 are actual stories are worth reading imo. Most of the arcs from Badlands are edgy trash that either leave you feeling empty or give a dark comedy chuckle. That's about it for experience with the series.

Both

Wish You Were Here and Ennis' stories are worth it. And Spurrier's stuff on the series along with WYWH are also great, he's the best Crossed writer out there.

Let them die out for awhile then hunt them down. Crossed +100 shows humans can survive but can become complacent because of peace.

This thread put me on a 4-hour crossed binge and the only interesting thing about Crossed is Smokey and like the first half of +100.

...
that made me precum a little

it's worth the ride.
OC crossed and wish you were here are pretty good, family values it's a little over the top and badlands is the real "mixed bag" experience.

It's trash.
