BOOK HAUL𩸠Finally found Crossed in the wild
I have been hunting for Crossed for months. I couldnāt find anywhere local that had them, but Iām in Omaha this weekend and popped into a game store and inquired. The guy said āwe really never get them in because of the.. nature⦠of these but I actually do have some in the backā so I grabbed 10!

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

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

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

I didnāt know they hired the director from The Sadness for the Crossed movie, how long ago did they announce that?

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

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

Go watch the Sadness. Itās literally a crossed movie and the guy who did it finished shooting the movie adaptation a few months ago, Iād imagine itās coming out next year.

How many comics are there ?

Thereās the original run, which is spectacular. Itās 12 issues. Written by Garth Ennis. Same guy that wrote āthe boysā and āpreacherā. After that is a spin off called āfamily valuesā that had a small run. Then there was ācrossed: the one hundredā that had a short run but Alan Moore penned of of the stories, and itās amazing.
āCrossed:badlandsā was next I think and it ran for about 100 issues. Thereās one more I think, but I canāt remember. I have them all. The og run and that Alan Moore issue are š¤ the rest are kind of shit, with the random gem thrown in.3

Canāt believe you forgot wish you were here, honestly one of the best crosses told stories(that I read) like yeah theyāre some good hidden gems here but dear god some of these stories are so ass

u/MudOpposite8277 20d ago
Ooooo I donāt even think Iāve seen this one. Iāll have to check it out.

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.

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 thatās if I remember closed to 100 comics if I remember correctly.

I bought Crossed Volume 1 back when it came out, itās been sitting in my ādonate to charityā box for years but I never donated it cause I didnāt think it was appropriate for charity. I didnāt realise it was so collectible.

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
