Who are the crossed? Are they zombies? Are they people infected by some kind of virus? People plagued by infinite rage? We still don't know. But what we know is that they are extremely violent and you can't stop them with salt, unless you want to be dismembered or suffer a worse fate that involves more than your dignity.
The world is doomed and radioactive. The only survivors are a horde of murderous beasts and a small group of harmless survivors with almost no food and no weapons. Things couldn't be worse for humankind but Garth Ennis has always unpleasant surprises.

About the author
Garth Ennis
2,630 books3,185 followersEnnis began his comic-writing career in 1989 with the series Troubled Souls. Appearing in the short-lived but critically-acclaimed British anthology Crisis and illustrated by McCrea, it told the story of a young, apolitical Protestant man caught up by fate in the violence of the Irish 'Troubles'. It spawned a sequel, For a Few Troubles More, a broad Belfast-based comedy featuring two supporting characters from Troubled Souls, Dougie and Ivor, who would later get their own American comics series, Dicks, from Caliber in 1997, and several follow-ups from Avatar.
Another series for Crisis was True Faith, a religious satire inspired by his schooldays, this time drawn by Warren Pleece. Ennis shortly after began to write for Crisis' parent publication, 2000 AD. He quickly graduated on to the title's flagship character, Judge Dredd, taking over from original creator John Wagner for a period of several years.
Ennis' first work on an American comic came in 1991 when he took over DC Comics's horror title Hellblazer, which he wrote until 1994, and for which he currently holds the title for most issues written. Steve Dillon became the regular artist during the second half of Ennis's run.
Ennis' landmark work to date is the 66-issue epic Preacher, which he co-created with artist Steve Dillon. Running from 1995 to 2000, it was a tale of a preacher with supernatural powers, searching (literally) for God who has abandoned his creation.
While Preacher was running, Ennis began a series set in the DC universe called Hitman. Despite being lower profile than Preacher, Hitman ran for 60 issues (plus specials) from 1996 to 2001, veering wildly from violent action to humour to an examination of male friendship under fire.
Other comic projects Ennis wrote during this time period include Goddess, Bloody Mary, Unknown Soldier, and Pride & Joy, all for DC/Vertigo, as well as origin stories for The Darkness for Image Comics and Shadowman for Valiant Comics.
After the end of Hitman, Ennis was lured to Marvel Comics with the promise from Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada that he could write The Punisher as long as he cared to. Instead of largely comical tone of these issues, he decided to make a much more serious series, re-launched under Marvel's MAX imprint.
In 2001 he briefly returned to UK comics to write the epic Helter Skelter for Judge Dredd.
Other comics Ennis has written include War Story (with various artists) for DC; The Pro for Image Comics; The Authority for Wildstorm; Just a Pilgrim for Black Bull Press, and 303, Chronicles of Wormwood (a six issue mini-series about the Antichrist), and a western comic book, Streets of Glory for Avatar Press.
In 2008 Ennis ended his five-year run on Punisher MAX to debut a new Marvel title, War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle.
In June 2008, at Wizard World, Philadelphia, Ennis announced several new projects, including a metaseries of war comics called Battlefields from Dynamite made up of mini-series including Night Witches, Dear Billy and Tankies, another Chronicles of Wormwood mini-series and Crossed both at Avatar, a six-issue miniseries about Butcher (from The Boys) and a Punisher project reuniting him with artist Steve Dillon (subsequently specified to be a weekly mini-series entitled Punisher: War Zone, to be released concurrently with the film of the same name).

Violent, bloody,frightening and tragically human. This is one of the best graphic novels I've ever come across (though I'll admit I haven't interacted with many) but either way it blew me away. I was drawn to it after falling in love with garth ennis most notable run "The Boys but this series trumps it. It's understandable to be shocked by the gore and shock value but if you manage not to look away, grit your teeth and trudge forward you are opened up to a brilliant post apocalyptic world that like most zombie apocalypses aims to contrast humanity with inhumanity whilst pointing a bigger lense on how similar they actually are in the end. Please read this if you can.

CROSSED! Garth Ennis’ gore “masterpiece”. I read the first issue to try it out since Im a huge fan of the zombie genre and thought the story sounded like a nice twist on certain cliches, but god this first issue just isn’t very good. The art is nice and the gore is visceral which is important for a book that is known for its gore. The story is loose in the first issue im sure it gets more complex and interesting but its just a ripoff of the walking dead, even the main character looks like Rick Grimes. I wouldn’t recommend this, go read some classic TWD.

Jesus christ.
This book is downright brutal. It's very good. A must read. Ain't no fairy tale around here. Just human nature at its worst.
