crossed is a good concept for a zombie apocalypse scenario. the "no one lives at the end" style makes sense since these aren't brainless undead, they are crazy humans and in real life, it's been proven that it is harder to fight a crazy person because they forsake any sense of carefulness. of all the crossed volumes, i like wish you were here the most.

A few years ago, I binge read all the Crossed comics online. As someone said in another comment on another video, "this is something I enjoy but wouldn't show others" (not these words exactly). I have no one to show these to, mainly because they are too mature for 'childish comics'. These being said, after reading everything, I had two nightmares with some Crossed chasing me. Don't remember much (as it happens) but i know in one of my dreams they were trying to get in my safe room, and I even managed to go out voluntarily to save one of my friends from certain rape + torture + death. But in the other dream I've been ambushed, as they had human intelligence and resourcefulness. After they managed to break in, I decided to jump from the building I was conveniently on and died. I remember how spontaneous this decision was, in contrast to the alternative. To this day, I think there is nothing more inescapable and menacing than the Crossed universe. 10/10 would kill myself if it were real. 5/7 would see the movie.

The Sadness isn't based on Crossed but both utilize the primary mechanism of a virus the causes people to act out their worst impulses however this is actually a much more common Trope and horror than people would think . With recent movies such as Mayhem (2017) multiple horror TV shows and even the original premise of 28 Days Later utilizing with this Trope to impose whatever social commentary the specific piece is trying to get at onto their narrative. That's not to say that the sadness might not have taken inspiration from Crossed only that there is no direct correlation and the filmmakers have not cited crossed as an inspiration for their film. The Sadness, very similar to last year's Get the Hell Out also from Taiwan is more of a specific critique of both communism and the post-communist Taiwanese government but with the Sadness slightly down playing the Taiwanese cultural aspects in hopes of reaching a wider audience, replacing those specific cultural touchstones with more universal theme that we've all seen through the coronavirus pandemic while taking much of its direct influence from how the pandemic was handled in Taiwan and China. Leaning more heavily into the Chinese way of dealing with it as that's been much more publicized and permeates the public Consciousness a bit more. With the crossed franchise covering so many volumes and using so many different creators they're definitely thematic similarities as well as some minor plot similarities. But beyond this but connection is exceedingly tangential never quite reaching the same fever pitch, excesses or intricacy of that on display in the cross franchise. But having said all of that it is a great recommend for anyone who is interested in or fans of the Crossed franchise. Thanks for mentioning it.

The Crossed are probably demons. the patient zero character from the issue The Thin Red Line speaks about specific events around the world w/o even knowing about them and refers to the Crossed as cleansing the world. suggesting a supernatural origin. also, Aoileann / Sister Teresa (the nun lady from Wish You Were Here) has an X on her face rather than a Cross. she was a good person in her human life so she probably held some bit of humanity in her which is why she doesn't have a full crossed face. also, we found out that the crossed started appearing worldwide. it didn't just originate in one place. they're probably demonic possessions that emulate itself like a virus to infect other people and invade their bodies and awaken the dark aspects of a persons psyche.

It's also worth mentioning though that throughout the course of this franchise we have at least five or six different explanations for what the crossed virus is, all coming from people who really have no way of knowing and are just surmising the origin based on their own personal paradigms. For me personally I would prefer never knowing for certain where it came from as not only is that scarier but once you give a definite Supernatural origin to the virus then all of the social commentary from the individual story arc breaks down and becomes meaningless. Essentially reducing some very intelligent writing that explores some horrendous things to nothing more than depraved spectacle for the sake of itself. The unknown is always more terrifying and gives you more ability to use the horror to explore different aspects of The Human Condition. But the great thing about them not giving us a definite answer is that we as the readers can all make up our own minds about what we prefer to imagine the origin being interpret from that whatever is the most meaningful to us. The same way that the numerous characters with theories of the viruses origin within the story do.

I don't necessarily agree with this. Take The Walking Dead for instance, just because we don't know what caused the outbreak doesn't change the human aspect of the storyline. just because we don't know the cause of the pandemic doesn't mean that has any negation or value to the whole social commentary aspect and the human side of things, etc. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. I feel that with the aforementioned hints I described above, a supernatural origin is likely. Now, will we know specifically as to what the supernatural force is? Probably not. but I feel the whole 'keep everything a mystery' and the whole Resident Evil virus shtick is pretty overdone. have it be supernatural but don't give a specific explanation for it.

Well as I was saying I like the fact that they leave it at a place where we can all take from it what is the most meaningful to us. I'm not here to tell anyone that they're right or wrong in their interpretation only share my thoughts and opinions. For me ambiguity always leaves more options and the ability to delve deeper into the themes at play when good writers are handling it. And I personally feel that reducing the crossed to essentially just monsters like any other zombie franchise would severely limit the potential growth and longevity of the storytelling. One of the reasons I don't really care for Walking Dead is despite the fact that in the parts of it that I read we never got a definite answer for where the Origins of the outbreak was that at the end of the day it was just every other zombie franchise which caused their thematic, subtextual and social commentary aspects to basically play out in a loop that they were never able to escape. Fermi questions are always more interesting than answers. And at a very basic level I guess it's more a matter of crossed when it's done right want you to think we're as most other zombie and monster franchises tell you what to think. And in that same contact I don't say these things to expect people to agree with me or tell them that they're wrong those are just my thoughts and preferences on it.

I mean you said so yourself: questions are more interesting than answers. so either you want to dig deeper into the origin to get more stories, or you want to keep it ambiguous and just focus on the human aspect. or both idk. in any case, i don't think there's any scientific explanation in-universe for any of those things i've mentioned. but i do agree with you in general.

That first series reminds me of Stephen King's Cell. Where most of the population is turned into zombie like creatures by a signal coming through their cell phones. These "zombies" are not slow but fast and violent. They are also intelligent enough to band together towards the end of the story and chose one of their own to be their leader. Who even speaks for them. It is theorized in the story they have something like a group consciousness. The lore behind zombies in various media can get deep.

Thank you for the subscription and I definitely have a decent back catalog of videos with the last couple of years being of fairly decent quality. But the channel has been through four or five iterations so there's a lot of old shows and concepts that I still feel are really fun but just never really got the viewership to take off. Hope you find some entertainment out of all of it.

Crossed would make a good first person shooter video game on playstation 5 man that would be awesome the story mode would be epic shooting the crossed and find hiding places and look for other survivors in safe zones you can meet other characters from the comics like Stan and Lorre even Crossed fan favorite Smokey as one of the video game bosses and Lorre as well ,

I personally wasn't a fan of Crossed 100+ since it was hard af to comprehend what everyone was saying due to in-universe changes to the English language. My favs tend to be Crossed Family Values and the assload of short stories from Badlands haha... my ADHD loves it

The way I see to survive in Cross, be a lone wolf and be apathetic, don't form bonds, do not join groups with people can slow you down like kids, old people and pregnant women. If you have to kill other humans to survive and defend yourself never hesitate but ensure that they are bad people first. The irony in this universe is that to be alive outside you must be dead inside.

Not to worry it's already in the work. First off I'll be covering the first volume of crossed + 100 issue-by-issue. The first video is shot I just have about three or four more videos I have to edit before I can get to editing it. And then we'll see where to go from there depending on the reception. As a pretty small channel I don't expect hundreds or thousands of views. As long as there are like 30 to 50 people who are interested in me continuing to make the content I'll keep covering Crossed stuff.

Just discovered Crossed a couple weeks ago and I've done a dive straight into it. I think the Ennis stories were the best. Everything else just varies between good to mediocre to garbage. Seems like a lot of writers missed the point entirely and thought Crossed was just an excuse to showcase the most graphic and disturbing concepts they could. The Ennis stories aren't actually all that grotesque, all things considered. Certainly not in comparison to the later two volumes, Family Values and Psychopath. The most graphic piece of Volume One that I can think of - that anyone can think of - is the 2 page spread of the husband and wife being raped and gutted while their child is being quartered in front of them. There's a reason it appears only for those two pages and isn't mentioned again. Ennis throws in quick shocks like that - and like the Brighton Pier in The Fatal Englishman - so the reader understands the stakes. The horrific image of that family being brutalized and butchered, which I admit has haunted me since I first saw it, is why not getting captured by the Crossed is more important than anything else. The Crossed don't just kill or rape. They come up with the most disgusting and twisted tortures for their victims such that being murdered by them outright is a mercy. And so we really do feel for the characters and our hearts really do race when they're in tight spots because we never know if they really will make it or not and if they don't how horrible will their suffering be. Later writers just didn't get it and treated it like an exploitation series to showcase the most disgusting things they could think of - like a psychopath ripping a woman's lips off to keep around his dick for sexual gratification. I think Psychopath was the worst storyline Crossed ever had and some of the Badlands arcs - Homo Superior, Shrink and Anti-Crossed - had no business being set in the Crossed universe. Some others like Haven and American Quitters weren't bad but just didn't fit in with the series as a whole. The best Crossed stories were, in order: The Thin Red Line, The Fatal Englishman and Volume One, with Family Values being a runner up.

Outside of the original Garth Ennis work the best two after that are arguably Crossed: Wish you were here and Crossed + 100. And with writers such as Si Spurrier and Alan Moore behind them it's understandable why they are among the best. The stories definitely have grotesque and horrific things happening but focus more on developing strong interesting characters, reveling in high tension, playing with our emotions while also expanding the world and the mythology.

I have only read volume 1 so far, bought it this morning and just read the whole thing. That specific scene you mentioned, was so absolutely horrific, not just for it's graphic content, but for it's incredible bleakness. His wife yelling for him to look at what he did, is actually the most terrible part of that scene, because of how disgustingly graphic it was. If there is a more visually unnerving comic out there, I don't know it.

This comic kind of disturbed me. I can stomach gore and all (I love zombie media) but this one felt different. The "zombies" are very much human and they spread violence and rape, not because it spreads the virus but because they LOVE it. Like I've said, I can stomach gore but rape every 5 pages mixed with it? Nah bro this is not it. The comics, although in a very interesting setting, feels nihilistic in every issue. Every story feels like a loss, even though the Crossed allegedly became more and more extinct thorughout the various issues.

Holy shit, people are talking about Crossed. Midway through my collection of Badlands, I found a comic shop a distance away that sold them. I got there and asked the clerk who then led me to an employee section where they used a ladder to bring the box down. I have found nothing like this series and probably won't again unless it's another work of Ennis. I'm really happy to see some buzz about one of my favorite comic series. Rover Red Charlie has a similar feel and is a quick read, also through Avatar Publishing.

Glad you discovered the series and a place to get the issues. Right now I'm focusing on crossed + 100 volume 1. But here pretty soon I'm going to be starting a secondary series of discussion videos where I'm going to be bringing in other KZitemrs to discuss various volumes and of course I'm going to keep covering different volumes of the series issue-by-issue in the same kind of review format that I've been doing with Crossed + 100 volume 1. So I definitely plan on continuing to cover the franchise and the next video covering Issue 4 of crossed + 100 will be coming out next week.

I didn't necessarily forget it as much as omitted due to a lack of researchable information. At the time when I made this video I had not read dead or alive and was unable to track it down myself, on top of that both Wikipedia and several other source sites for the comic that I found had it listed as a web series not a web comic because at the time they were in the process of developing it into a web series and every time I tried to research it that is the only information that came up. Now that I have been able to track it down and read it obviously it is a much more important chapter in the overall story and I've been meaning to do an updated version of this video that would include Dead or alive as well as a few other things that I missed but with all the other plates I'm spinning I just haven't had time. Specifically because I'm not happy with just filming a new segment for dead or alive and inserting it in the video really the entire video should be redone at the standard and level that my channel's at now.
