This in my opinion is PEAK Crossed. It has the perfect mixture of the insane depravity that is usually found in Crossed and the characterization and emotional element that you'd read in something like The Walking Dead.Just a fantastic story. I can't wait till a few years pass where I forget about the plot and I can read it again all over again for a third time.
thank u connor for literally sending this to me in the mail!!!!!!! its absolutely deranged, more so than i ever could've possibly imagined. the perfect distraction from my fractured and throbbing leg 😍🙏 thanks again connor <33333333
Man, this series is just the grossest, most insane thing I've ever read. So messed up but my twisted mind cant stop looking at it. Recommended to no one. Seriously.
Duck and cover everyone...it’s time again for Baby Rage to launch an anger bomb at another literary louse... What a massive failure this was. A wise person (aka David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap), once said, “There’s a fine line between stupid and, uh….clever.” Well this book crossed over that line, kept moving passed worthless, and ended up pitching tent in the middle of SUCKville. This book’s only redeeming quality is that it reiterated to me how wonderful a writer Garth Ennis is, as his pre...
I almost feel guilty giving this one five stars. It's THAT disgusting and depraved. But considering the point of a horror comic is to be horrifying, this one does exactly that. I'm a huge horror comic fan, but it's rare that one truly unsettles me. This one does that.I thought after the first volume things couldn't get much worse, but I was wrong. So. Very. Wrong.This volume doesn't follow the characters from Volume 1, but instead tells the story of an entirely new group. This volume also explor...
Crossed continues to be one of the more twisted horror comics that I have read. The type of stuff that curls your sensibilities into the fetal position. It's a gory trainwreck. Definitely not for the faint of heart. It needs a huge trigger warning across the top since this volume like all of Crossed is equal opportunity in regards to sexual violence.
Crossed is like Walking Dead on steroids. I liked Garth Ennis's volume more, although this definitely took things up a notch in the depravity department.
Despite my better judgement I read volume 2 of crossed. That was a mistake. This is just one big story of a father raping his daughters and using them as "tools". Impregnating girls as young as 12. It's supposed to show that even when they aren't crossed (basically crazy people) they do terrible things. The 2nd story is somehow worse, because it's even more boring. Fuck this series. I'm done.
A crayzay volume for sure!If you think your family has issues, check out this one!So many awful things happening... sometimes you don't even need to be "crossed" to be as sadistic as they are...
WELL. Was this an appropriate Halloween read or WHAT? More like 3.5 stars but rated up because they managed to make an entire graphic novel volume revolve around incest and got away with publishing it and creeping readers the hell out. I was expecting pretty intense stuff, and it definitely goes a step further than the previous volume (which makes me wonder if each one is a preparation for the next, and each will get gradually more awful...), but in a way it wasn't as bad. It didn't seem to focu...
SUPER FAST REVIEW:Not a bad read but Ennis’ start to the series was better.The story is still an interesting tale of survival in a twisted world. This book is very intense throughout. Lots of twisted kills too, even more disturbing than the first volume so good for fans of disturbing, gory horror. It is fairly suspenseful at times.Unfortunately with that all being said, while Ennis depicted a fucked up scenario in volume one, Lapham slightly goes for gratuitous gross stuff (example: I understand...
Not sure what to make of this which I why I gave it 3 stars. I couldn't really say I liked it as I found it shocking and disgusting in places but at the same time I didn't hate it. I liked the storyline and it gives a different take on the zombie theory. I'm not sure whether I will continue to read the other volumes but I've given it a go. I don't think I would re-read this either as it made me feel sick in places.
Well that was just gross. The first volume was gross and shocking, but it seemed like it more had a purpose. This was just rape and incest and gross out violence and incest rape and blood and incest murder and ....yea. The storyline just wasn't any good, mostly focusing on the incest of this one family and then after they were monsters the incest just got worse. And while the artwork of the first volume was decent enough, though nothing spectacular, this one was definitely amateurish. And then t...
David Lapham picks up the reign after Garth Ennis' crazy masterpiece and what starts out as an utterly dark and dirty storyline continues apace throughout, without leaving the reader a minute's respite. There could be said to be a too hard intention to shock and this does plum the depths of in-humanity.We return to the Crossed reality viewing from the view point of a large family on a ranch controlled by a religious fundamentalist father with a penchant for child abuse! Adaline decides to confro...
I was really hoping to continue from where we left off in volume 1. Instead, we follow a new band of survivors. The Pratts. A family of ranchers with many dark secrets. Mainly incest and abuse at the hands of the family patriarch. To be honest, it’s indeed more unsettling to witness sick and depraved acts carried out by humans as opposed to the crossed. At some point mid way, things got confusing. Especially with the time jumps between issues. First, this person gets pregnant. Then, another one
Crossed is amazing!!!!Volume One I mean...as in what Garth Ennis wrote.Crossed is not your normal gorefest of a comic. Yes, it is popular for showing panels that sicken and horrify readers, but what writer Garth Ennis managed to capture with his words in Volume One was the depravity and viciousness of the Crossed. We not only feared them, but we feared what they represented.Volume Two...not so much.I loved what David Lapham was going for with his words - the idea that some humans are just born e...
I kinda thought the story would proceed with the same characters, but this one has an entirely new set.A suitably vicious story, but confusing timeline and interchangeable characters that were dead then they weren't then they were pregnant and then they weren't. And they were the protagonist's sister? Or mother? Or dad, or brother? Dead, alive, in the past, in the present? I was totally lost.But you don't come to "Crossed" for story. The strength of this series is its absolute brutality and I wo...
I LOVE Crossed ... when I first read it, after I remember thinking 'what the hell did I just read? Ha! Love it.
Gross. Very.I had trouble with the rating, because it really creeped me out in the worst way and I kinda hate it, but then again, that's what it's meant to do. And it is a page-turner. My own personal rating would be two stars, but considering the intentions of the story, genre and everything, it does deserve more than that.I almost gave four stars - maybe it would deserve them. I think my judgment might be clouded here.Seriously though, I will definately never read it again and hopefully forget...
There is this place where god-awful and amazing intersect. When you are 100% aware that stuff is cheesy and campy, but you are still having fun and it's kind of amazing.Think...From Dusk Till Dawn.Or Tremors.I am guilty of having soft spot for these which is why Garth Ennis totally works for me.The thing is, that's a veeery thin line of awesome and story can easily go in wrong direction.This is exactly what happened with Crossed in Vol.2. Vol. 1 had this perfect balance of ridiculous depravity t...
