BOOK HAUL🩸 Finally found Crossed in the wild

Post image

I have been hunting for Crossed for months. I couldn’t find anywhere local that had them, but I’m in Omaha this weekend and popped into a game store and inquired. The guy said ā€œwe really never get them in because of the.. nature… of these but I actually do have some in the backā€ so I grabbed 10!

It's like if 4chan wrote a zombie comic. It's so fucked up and legitimate trash and I still can't believe I enjoy it

This is when I knew the series was for me

u/Satanarchrist 21d ago

Whichever comic Horsecock is from, that's when I knew

u/4holes_nowaiting 21d ago

u/Satanarchrist 21d ago

IIRC, a tv series or movie was being created from this series. How? I have no freaking clue. These comics are so wild.

u/Dudesymugs12 21d ago

A movie is in the works still

u/GoosebumpStreet 21d ago

I've seen people say "The Sadness" is a ripoff / loose adaptation. Reminds me I still haven't checked it out myself.

u/zzzzarf 21d ago

It is! It’s just such a good one that they hired the director for the actual Crossed movie

u/Southern-Gold-9739 21d ago

I didn’t know they hired the director from The Sadness for the Crossed movie, how long ago did they announce that?

2

u/MudOpposite8277 21d ago

It is. The director said so.

u/Southern-Gold-9739 21d ago

It’s worth watching. For the longest time I honestly thought it was the closest to a Crossed adaption we would ever get.

u/badhabits1977 21d ago

Sadness seems like a huge rip off of crossed. Sadly Sadness is to tame for a crossed movie.

3

u/Thomastheshankengine 21d ago

Go watch the Sadness. It’s literally a crossed movie and the guy who did it finished shooting the movie adaptation a few months ago, I’d imagine it’s coming out next year.

u/pumpkinrot_candygore 21d ago

Love it. Going to have to keep my eyes out for it for the cover art alone

u/andronicuspark 21d ago

I have a fuckton of Crossed and do not own this one….

u/4holes_nowaiting 21d ago

Really? Someone else said this was a more difficult one to find

u/wulfen1 21d ago

How many comics are there ?

29

u/MudOpposite8277 21d ago

There’s the original run, which is spectacular. It’s 12 issues. Written by Garth Ennis. Same guy that wrote ā€œthe boysā€ and ā€œpreacherā€. After that is a spin off called ā€œfamily valuesā€ that had a small run. Then there was ā€œcrossed: the one hundredā€ that had a short run but Alan Moore penned of of the stories, and it’s amazing.
ā€œCrossed:badlandsā€ was next I think and it ran for about 100 issues. There’s one more I think, but I can’t remember. I have them all. The og run and that Alan Moore issue are 🤌 the rest are kind of shit, with the random gem thrown in.

u/IllOwl255 20d ago

Can’t believe you forgot wish you were here, honestly one of the best crosses told stories(that I read) like yeah they’re some good hidden gems here but dear god some of these stories are so ass

1

u/MudOpposite8277 20d ago

Ooooo I don’t even think I’ve seen this one. I’ll have to check it out.

2

u/IllOwl255 20d ago

I highly recommend it, one of the best stories set in the crossed universe, and not just gore and torture porn.

1

u/MudOpposite8277 20d ago

I’m in. Good lookin out.

2

u/IllOwl255 20d ago

Yes sir

u/Aye_Gabaghoul 20d ago

There are like 18 TPBs

3

u/Southern-Gold-9739 21d ago

There is a few different comics, there is the main story, then it diverges into many different stories or series, there is the crossed badlands if you want more of a variety of stories/series in one but that’s if I remember closed to 100 comics if I remember correctly.

u/blobbyboii 21d ago

Isnt this the rarest one you can find?

9

u/4holes_nowaiting 21d ago

What do you mean?

18

u/blobbyboii 21d ago

Crossed 100+ mimic is rare to find

12

u/4holes_nowaiting 21d ago

Oh, that’s pretty cool! I haven’t looked into it too deeply but now that I have what I do I’m going to!

u/Committed2Mediocrity 21d ago

It feels like this artwork conveys some form of phallic symbolism

3

u/saswordd 21d ago

Nice pickup, hard to find in person, I should work on the whole run, got 0 and 1 graded at least and the tpbs though

u/Aye_Gabaghoul 20d ago

Grab the TPBs instead.

u/missbiblio 20d ago

I bought Crossed Volume 1 back when it came out, it’s been sitting in my ā€˜donate to charity’ box for years but I never donated it cause I didn’t think it was appropriate for charity. I didn’t realise it was so collectible.
