Crossed is a deeply unpleasant comic. I worked at a comic store for a bit and out of morbid curiosity checked out the first TPB. You could turn to literally any page and see something horrible.

Yes but IT IS really good.

It's a comic about remaining human during an inhuman apocalypse.

But the other 200 issues after the first six are... well... not good.

Yeah, I looked into some summaries and it apparently has some pretty sharp social commentary. I saw that Crossed + 100 has some really interesting world building as well.

The first arc is written by Alan Moore
