Crossed

Garth Ennis, Christian Zanier — 2014

"The Crossed outbreak created a miserable grueling world of monsters that dash out all hope of survival and ensures a terrifying end to everything in their path. For the first time, master storyteller Garth Ennis takes you back to the early days of outbreak and delivers the unexpected--a patient zero tale. With the outbreak spreading like wildfire across the globe, a group of soldiers attempt to piece together how the disease spread so quickly and to reverse the horror they see taking place in the streets. And as they struggle to catch up with events, a fleet of nuclear-armed planes carry the extinction of the human race as they race towards America, with only one British flight crew to stand in their way. No one can deliver this level of poignant horror like Garth Ennis. In a world where there is no help and there is no hope...there is only the Crossed"--Provided by publisher.

This story did a good job at introducing the reader to a worst-case scenario brutal apocalypse and set the awful tone for the series. I advise anyone who has an aversion to things like graphic sexual assault scenes, child torture and death, and heavy gore to avoid this series all together. The art style is unique and the gore is shocking and inventive. There were certain parts that felt like the author was trying to depict the most disgusting and depraved things that he could possibly think of, and I did find myself surprised at how far this story was willing to go. I think this first volume did a good job at introducing certain characters and more importantly, introducing the reader to this dark, twisted world. I will continue reading as I’m curious where it could possibly go from here depravity-wise and how it could possibly end story-wise. I recommend this story for fans of survival horror and extreme shock horror.
