So much visceral meanness. What did twinks do to her?
I think they scrapped it because there’s no way to make it live action without getting an NC-17 rating. There was a Crossed-like film from Taiwan a few years ago. Less SA than Crossed, but it was still there (offscreen) and a lot of blood.
God I can only hope, it’s an okay concept that just gets run into the ground bc the author needs to be an edgelord
Yeah most of the series is just bad. A few of the ones written by Ennis were okay. Fatal Englishman, Smokey and the twins, and the prehistoric crossed story were actually decent. Plus 100 was actually good, but that’s because it was written by Alan Moore. Everything else was just blegh. Edgy for the sake of being edgy. The art quality plummets off a cliff, too.
Glad I pirated the series and never bought any actual comics lol
What the actual fuck? How? It’s like 200 pages of people being torture raped to death while they look directly at the reader saying “you’re a dumb asshole for caring about anything at all”.
Garth Ennis has made one “good” series (I hate it anyway) and The Boys and Crosses aren’t it. Every one of his stories has torture porn and uses sexual assault as a punchline.
It’s disgusting. His stories are so bad.
This screams nepobaby director trying so hard to ride off the success of The Boys.
From someone who read most of the comics(for some fucking reason):
lol this is going to suck so bad
It’s Garth Ennis ofc it’s going to be bad.
The boys is so much better because they almost completely dropped his idea and comic when making the show.
I maintain that some of the Crossed comics have artistic merit. Some. Soooome.
Old mate Garth only wrote the first run and some parts of the later stuff. His initial run is solid enough, assuming you have the stomach for it and don’t find gore distasteful.
Crossed: Wish you Were Here (aa free webcomic not written by Garth) is actually solid but also it has (cw: necrophilia)
Title
A nun fucking herself with a severed arm.
So its a mixed bag.
why would you do that to yourself?
Also was the torture and violence in that one toned down?
It was definitely toned down. The plot focused mainly on the survivors a century after “Surprise Day” (as the crossed like to call it). It’s centered around a archeological/historian/biologist as she tries to find out what caused the outbreak in the first place. The cross themselves are the intelligent ones who have created their own society hidden from the survivors so they can do a part 2. They’re less impulsive and thus less prone to random acts of violence.
They’re still infected, though, and the story picks up when they start a war after isolating themselves for a century.
