Main story is forgettable. Lazy storytelling. Abrupt ending. Oh my, the series is seriously slumping. The shorter story at the end was tonnes better. Even the narrative was easier to follow with symbols attached to the text boxes so you clearly know who’s talking off panel. Should have been made the main story on this volume, no doubt.
Il racconto più lungo, a firma Daniel Way, è quello meno interessante, perchè pur non rinunciando al suo percorso di follia, come da tradizione di Crossed, non spinge a fondo nella introspezione dei personaggi. La storia in questo caso parla di un gruppo agli ordini di un ex militare, che finisce con lo sfaldarsi a poco a poco, sotto il peso della folle teoria purificante del leader. Il secondo racconto, a firma Spurrier, è più ficcante e interessante: resoconto della pazza corsa di un convoglio...
Really didnt love this one. Second story was brutal but first story did absolutely nothing for me and took me a long time to get through it.
I'm giving this 4 stars because of the last story.The first story was interesting only if you're trying to compare apples to oranges, then trying to make a banana smoothie out of it.Bottom line, pushed far enough, I suppose, human nature and all the base instincts that make up such nature turn to perversion if denied for too long or forced to act in a way abhorrent to one's sensibilities.The line btw the Crossed and "normal" human beings were ambiguous, at best.Of course, this was the point.In t...
2.5/5...Y vuelve a decaer. Muchísimo.
The second story was gold.
It wasn't complete rubbish, but this certainly wasn't the Crossed we all know and love..
In general I really like it, everything in this volume like the characters, the plot, the art work it's amazing, but the most astonishing thing of this volume It's the story "The Wizard Of Aus"."The Wizard Of Aus" was fantastic, and in my opinion they could write an entire book using the same characters.
Daniel Way joins the Crossed creative team, with this story of a highly focused sea captain and his struggle and paths taken to ensure survival for his people, and their quest for a paradise in the Crossed universe! One can see what Way tries to do, but with a large cast, clumsy stereotypical characterisations and (even for Crossed) pretty gratuitous explicit imagery this one is the weakest volume so far! 5 out of 12.
This was a longer story but not really as interesting as others I have read. As before, don't read this. You've been warned.
First story, which takes up the bulk of the volume, is pretty terrible. The second one isn't bad at all. Average of the two: three stars.
Crossed will be Crossed, and while I adore the series, this is perhaps the lowest it's ever been. The art style is still gory, visceral, and primal; the story, however, remains banal, dreary and feels as if it took effort to read all the way through. Read if you're a Crossed purist, like me. Otherwise, you can safely skip this volume.
I only read the story of the ship which although it had the potential to be one of the best, but as a couple of guys said, this was the least enjoyable, I lost the plot from the beginning because one thing: most of the girls and the boys look the same.
A group of survivors are using a ship to get around in the story I enjoyed least so far in the series. The captain's goal is to settle a fortification near New Orleans. The idea is embraced by the crew, but they still fear him for the draconic way he runs the ship. (view spoiler)[The way to the future settlement goes through a large concentration of crossed. Not all of the survivors make it, but they hope for a better life there. The captain again enforces laws that divide the people. The crosse...
Not too bad but not not good either. Nice art, but the stories were too long, streched too thin.
If it wasn't for the Simon Spurrier story, this book would've gotten 1 Star. Seriously, the six issues by Daniel Way are a disaster--no distinguishable protagonist(s), characters doing malicious things without any clear motivation, abandoned subplots, a narrative passage that shows up in the first issue then never returns. We see a character brutally murder a lover-comrade, then in the next scene get raped, having seemingly lost all understanding of self-defense. That's just one puddle of the me...
Review later. I'm behind on my record keeping :D
There are a lot of reasons to dislike this series. Excessive gore, rape, racism, misogyny and hopelessness to name a few… but at least it’s never been boring.…until now. Wow. I wasn’t expecting that. None of this horrible shit works if it’s boring, and this volume was a snooze. If the next volume is like this, I quit
Wizard of Aus was the stand out story here but overall it's a fairly average volume. Not bad by any means but not amazing either!
This was my least favorite volume so far.In the first story we have the captain of a Navy Ship undertaking some sort of weird religious mission to repopulate the Earth. Just didn't grab me really.In the second, we have an Australia guy with a big rig putting together his own private harem in the outback. Total jerk and annoying. I didn't care for the narrative style in this one.The art is still good, that part has been consistent.One thing that's starting to wear thin about this series is the la...
