Alan Moore wrote this and it takes place a century after The Crossed apocalypse began so he felt that people would start talking like morons or something.
you're wrong but i'll grant Swamp Thing had some interesting ideas
the correct answer is From Hell, which is so much better than his other work I'm convinced its at least partly plagiarized

From Hell is based entirely on other sources and the main story comes from Stephen Knight's work which Moore lays out in the appendices. It is a work of synthesising research which is Moore's strength and why it is so rich for him to accuse others of plagiarising his work for hire which was already based on other men's work for hire of stories they didn't invent

he did give all his vast profits from MM to the original writers estate
Considering the rate languages keep deteriorating each passing year, I think he was being a bit conservative on how incomprehensible it will be in the future.
Damn lol that man is such a pretentious homosexual. What the frick makes the guy think this benefits the telling of the story at all? Any real writer would smack that commie homosexual in the mouth.
You mean he watched Threads and just copied the ending of that when people were basically sent back to the iron age?
In Threads the reason they spoke like that is because all the kids were born moronic, it wasn't because they forgot how to speak English. Do the Crossed characters still speak normally when they say they want to pee in your eyeballs or something?
i can't hate him. sorry guys. He may be a gay lame old man living in a hovel, but he wrote Swamp Thing. That's the greatest denomination of humanity currently available.
You're all dumb if you think this is bad or unrealistic. Alan Moore is, believe it or not, a really good writer so he eases you into the future slang so its easy to understand. Clockwork orange does the exact same thing for every line of its narration and it works fine.
i read some of the crossed that alan moore wrote and the made up language is so lazy and pathetic
audie is hearing
opsy is seeing
brown is shit/bad

if anything having a culture where the word for 'see' isn't just a corruption of a word associated with see, is more evocative of a culture on the brink of destruction as they have lost connection with everything preceding it.

he decided to change the language but not in any meaningful way
languages evolve and change in more interesting and unique ways than taking a word and changing it a little

Honestly, I love Moore but "out of touch grandpa mixed with edgy teen" is about as accurate a descriptor as you could get for him. He seriously thought the "unspeakable, indescribable horror" of Lovecraft was... Sexual frustration and rape. What an utterly banal take.
If you've ever read "Lost Girls", I think that's the best lens into his limits as a writer. He writes this epic work of erotica, where the conceit is that the heroines of childhood fantasy stories all actually had some kind of sexual experience that they interpret through fantasy. But he never really has much to say beyond "sex is good and normal, rape and sexual repression are bad".

The Sadness did this already and is much better than crossed because it actually ends instead of just going on forever and dropping off of any relevance because you can only see a drawing of someone getting raped in a knife wound or whatever so many times before it gets boring.
They seethe because everyone rightfully calls it garbage and then they get mad that nobody thinks they are dark and mysterious for liking splatter comics.
Must have touched a nerve. It's well known that crossed caters to moronic edgelords who think reading this shit makes them dark and twisted and somehow interesting. You're getting mad over real people again, calm down it's just a Garth Ennis comic lol.

Do you mean if he ran away with her? There was a whole group running from them that he was separated from thanks to his hanging back with her. The group winds up making it, so I don't see why the two of them wouldn't have had he decided to them with his daughter. One things for damn sure though: staying back and trying out the salt did frick all.

The infection is spreading to her faster than him, that is all. Sooner or later he will be the same edgelord as the rest of them, assuming they are not killed and eaten first.
This and the subsequent page are where Crossed peaks. The find that Cinemaphile is upset about it and takes it as some kind of personal affront makes it even more hilarious.
Garth Ennis has a lot of animosity for types of guys that I can't imagine he's that much different than.
He hates autistic wheonesque self important nerds. Okay how much distance does he really have there to play around with.
He also has this hatred for any kind of man he perceives as weak in general, I'm sure its more than once you see true contempt and disgust for men who get raped and a belief that generally it happens to them due to their own failings. Like sorry but Garth doesn't look like that strong a guy he could get raped about as easy as most of the characters it happens to in his comics if he was unlucky enough.
Being a protestant in Northern Ireland wasn't that bad. There weren't just car bombs going off left and right from an individuals perspective it wasn't the Somme.
>Will there be a studio brave enough to adapt this?
The question as posed is too vague: Define "brave" and how an inanimate object--"a studio"--can have humanlike qualities.
Brave as in its pretty brave (stupid) to throw your career away making something where the "le zombies... le rape? Humanity is... le real monster!?!" gimmick gets old real fast
>Crossed people are supposed to be about inflicting suffering and shit >This guy is just dancing with a corpse that couldn't care less
Seems rather benign, considering what we've come to expect from the crossed.
No you idiot this is another "I hate humanity" cover because its transgressive. The dude dug up somebody's wifes corpse and danced with her and its all "disturbing and shit" and "violated her" its probably worse in theory than if someone just simply ate her brain. Like I am 110% sure that people would boycott any zombie media that did that its literally taking away her agency because she is dead.
I think it ends ambiguously, it seems to imply that humans and the crossed end up co-existing, they might have had plans to continue but Avatar Press went down under.
Wow I never cared about Crossed to follow it into a sci-fi future. Having your horses be robots is smart.
zombie media does do that in a recent walking dead a guy had an entire band of zombies as in a musical group he ties them to various instruments dresses them up as band members and then they "play" when they get agitated, he wasn't even some villian btw just a random nutball they briefly run into

lol, that was just a dream sequence where she encounters J.R.R Tolkien (or who she thinks Tolkien was). The last arc is about a love story between a crossed and a non-infected and it ends with them traveling to other human bases and infecting them.
A serial killer named Beauregard Salt got infected during the initial outbreak and retained his intelligence. He realized that the crossed were doomed to all kill themselves since they lacked self preservation instincts and so he tried to teach the crossed discipline and self-restraint, creating an entire generation of "smart" crossed that continued into the next century.

If you enjoy this garbage, especially 10 years after the fact, no one should expect literally anything from you. Kind of impressed you've managed to use a computer or phone and made it this far.
A bullshit plot device, I mean virus, makes it to where ppl go into turbo ultra edge lord mode. Which is utterly moronic because it merely removes unfiltered thoughts, but they make it to where every single human just wants to live as a hills have eyes wannabe as if every single human is constantly thinking of fricking, raping, and destruction 24/7. There's no one who steals cause thats all he thinks about, there's no one that overeats, there's no one who merely just talking like a sailor cause they had to be proper their whole lives. Nope, just instant murder rape and cannibal holocaust shit.
And that's dumb. You mean to tell me that these many ppl are just straight up legit evil and have just been suppressing it? Man cmon. The virus would have no effect on their cognitive function if they were as evil as you're saying. I mean this is also by the guy who couldn't make a morally Grey hero so im not surprised he goes for the instant worse outcome in any of his bullshit writings. If this was done more tasteful, then the virus would AMPLIFY your evil, it wouldn't suddenly just transform you. That way you can actually believe someone who talks about God and church coming to the eventual point of butt fricking someone.
No they haven't been suppressing it you still aren't getting it they are infected by pure evil, it's not removing inhibition or anything of the kind, patient zero explains this
That's even more fricking moronic than anything I'm trying to make sense of. I'm convinced now Ennis is just a turbo edgy moron that can't look past "muh ultimate shock value", if this homosexual wrote Jurassic Park then you'd see the dinos raping humans and each other cause "coming back to life infused them with evil" bullshit.

*continues reading comic where children are violently murdered*
crossed always seemed like a decent idea thats very pooly executed. I doubt that most people would want to go on killing rampages if their inhibitions were taken away. Im sure rapes and some killing would happen, but id imagine a good chunk of infected would just drink/drug themselves to death or speed around in their car until the crash. Ive always wanted to fly a jet but cant afford to do so, so id imagine id get super drunk then try to get a jet at the local airport or something, but i dont dislike anyone enough to kill them. Garth is just too fricking edgy to make good shit. The only crossed that i read that was almost interesting was the one in japan where the one girl didnt want to kill her friends when infect so she simply didnt.
What this guy said. They say that the crossed virus is supposed to remove your inhibition and let you act on your worse impulse, not turn people into cannibalistic sadist. If I was turned into a crossed, I'd probably just go around yelling Black person and telling people about the israelites.
I think it would be very easy for small arguments to turn very violent. If you were truly uninhibited, anytime someone upset you and you wanted to hurt them (which is often) you would.
Of course, it would be far less conducive to a spooky post apocalypse if you had to piss off the hordes before they tried to kill you and your children.
Rape would happen a lot, though, so I guess that would be enough.
I think that could kind of work if it was a combo apocalypse, like the omega man, and there were "tiers" of Crossed.
So, a virus wipes out a huge percent of mankind. Society collapses. In the wake, there are people who are immune or resistant, who are pretty much normal. Then there are people who are moderately infected, who just have no real inhibitions. They're weird, but mostly functional. You have to be careful around them, because if you annoy one they'll try to murder you, and if one finds you attractive, they'll try to rape you.
Then you have the true freaks, who's infection has triggered super high levels of aggression and fight or flight, who basically react violently to everyone and everything except other infected. They're more like traditional zombies, but smart enough to use weapons.
The tension would come with not being certain who's infected or how much, and the usual struggle to survive of a collapsed world.
But honestly, now that I've typed that out, it just feels like Mad Max with extra steps. People in Haiti irl didn't need a crazy virus to become factional warlords and cannibals, after all.
It's unfinished and nothing like sandman it's an alternative history where just as Berlin is about to be invaded a secret nazi project cracks out super powered soldiers the Ubers
I mean it's almost finished like 5 chapters would do it, most plots are resolved, in WW2 terms they are closing in on Berlin north west and south, that's not what's happening but that's how close it is to being done

There is only 4 issues left too, that's it, invasion was suppose to be 23 issues and he got up to 19 it's mental he can't at least get another Kickstarter just for 4 issues
I would almost say no studio would be stupid enough to piss their money away on such atrocious source material but these days I can't be sure. Crossed is utter garbage though.
the art was actually kind of non-repulse and well-done for once instead of crusty and amateur in the much later arcs, like drawn with someone with an actual. I think Fernando Heinz is the name of the artist
Crossed: Wish You Were Here would have the best chance of being made since it (sometimes) tries to have a coherent story. Just would have to cut out/tone down: opening scene dolphin rape, sheep rape, regular rape, 15yo nudity, crows eating children's eyes, fat ugly naked women.
Everyone involved in the making of this comic should be executed by fusilade in a televised event broadcast countrywide as a message to other degenerates to stay in the fricking closet.
>SOMEBODY SHOULD FRICKING KILL ALL THIS PEOPLE FOR MAKING VIOLENT COMIC BOOK!!
Were you always this stupid, or it just came to you with time and practice?
Always thought it was funny how the first comic had a major theme about holding onto what makes you human even if it's not the most practical survival thing and then the following comics are just torture and misery porn. The psychopath series just sucks but is probably the most well known because it's easily the most fricked.
That said the made up story about the cavemen crossed that weren't actually crossed lmao was pretty cool.
First series was tolerable because it was an original and terrifying concept, and they shit the bed. Now it's just edgelords gooning to the next 2 page spread of kids being thrown into a woodchippper or some other homosexualry.
This is one of the most ridiculous comics ever to exist. >crossed... >a world where everyone... crosses the line!
Just trying to be the edgiest edgy comic ever. Garth Penis should become an hero already and spare us from this shit.
Alan Moore's had an interest in Islam for some reason, despite his paganism. Even in his Marvelman/Miracleman comics from the 80s, he wrote that the only religion that resists the MM regime are Islamic fundies.
>despite his paganism.
Moor is an atheist commie >But he worships Glycon!
Glycon was seen as a hoax religion in the antiquities, where its idol was supposedly a hand puppet, he's taking the piss. >Moore states he prefers the belief in a probable hoax deity "because [he is] not likely to start believing that glove puppet created the universe or anything dangerous like that."
He's into "chaos magick," isn't he? I also remember reading some anecdote of his where he claims to have run into a real life version of John Constantine in some UK pub.
>He's into "chaos magick," isn't he?
He does have an interest in occult stuff (this doesn't qualify atheism, especially with new age occultism and chaos magick) I'm not sure if it's chaos magick or if he practices it vs just an interest in it for his work.
I could be wrong though, I'm not his biographer.
You might be thinking of Grant Morrison for chaos magick specifically
No Moore also claims to be into chaos magic and probably spells it with a k like a homosexual the same as you, at least Moore didn't end up being a fricking troony though
He's called himself a wizard, but I think that's in regards to instilling thought forms/dialectics in other people's minds, he "manipulates" reality that way.
the older I get the more convinced I become that gore = this comic is shit. A few issues of Ennis' Punisher MAX are ok, but everything else I'd read that has a significant amount of blood and guts was just totally worthless
Crossed is so bad. Do Ennis Punisher instead, please. I don't even know how The Boys made it. He's so edgy and terrible and Punisher is like the only good thing he did
Punisher is definitely Ennis' best work but it's still really hit and miss. Valley Forge Valley Forge is extraordinarily good, but all the Afghanistan/Ireland/Yugoslavian stuff is badly dated and steeped in Ennis' smug Y2K neoliberal bullshit, and Barracuda would probably start race riots. I don't think there's enough good stuff there for a full adaptation
Damn you're so much better and more sophisticated than horror fans that all you have to do today is sit on Cinemaphile and argue about Crossed. Shouldn't you be composing your next sonata?
it's probably something moronic like "even the crazy murderous rapist pedophiles have more humanity and solidarity than the healthy, normal humans. Truly, we...were the Crossed(tm) all along...)
They do but crossed like pain so it isn't much fun for them, they don't want their victims to like it, if left without victims they do turn on each other
You will get an adaptation but only >>on amazon prime
producer seth rogen
set in the south, main character is a black guy, evil crossed are all wypeepo.
you still want it? because that's the only way you'll get it.
Most of them only ever say frick shit kill, literally that is the limit of their vocabulary, in one story a smart crossed which are like 1 in 10 million spreads months teaching a horde the word 'boring' and still only manages to teach a 3rd of them
The concept of cross is interesting, but gets boring pretty quickly since every crossed is the same type of edgelord and are just psycho humans. Probably would have been more interesting if it went a bit resident evil where they mutated and have different types of breeds of crossed that were changed body as well as mind so add to the horror. Could have different categories like you got the cannibals (basic zombie like), the nympho rapitsts that want to frick or be fricked, the torturers who torture and torment others, then you got the berserkers that just want to frick shit up with violence, the slavers who capture people and force them to do their bidding, the rulers who basically can manage the other cross to work together, the infiltrators who appear and act normal, but are just as psycho and kills off others in secret and redirect blame in the usual 'who done it' type mysteries, the infectors that just want to infect others, etc. It would have made it more interesting.
I thought it would have been more interesting if she had to team up with the old man in the subway instead of him pursuing her for the rest of the movie. Keep his character incorrigible so it's an uneasy alliance. Maybe have another subway passenger pursuing them both, a younger more fit guy to maintain a decent threat level. That way you can keep the umbrella eye scene plus the eye socket rape
Crossed 100 at least when written by more was so much better than the original series it was embarassing. It turned into literature
Then somehow some random guy wrote a side story spin off series to crossed 100 called mimic that was also fantastic and really built on the ideas in crossed 100, further embarassing the original series because they didn't even have the excuse of it being written by Alan Moore. Also whether you believe in it or not mimic is a really good illustration of the concept of dialectical materialism without even trying to be.
hey thanks i didn't even know that existed thought I had read every crossed their is, one last mini series I guess nice, also as for the og series,you seem to be forgetting wish you were here the best mini series in the entire setting
Yeah I'm talking shit and making assumptions. What happened is I read the first few story arcs and wasn't that impressed, skipped to 100 because I knew Moore was involved, so I probably am wrong to assume there was nothing really good in between those two points. Did really like mimic though.
so the smokey arc is fun, but the really good one is the special forces squads stories and the crazy scotsmans story that leads into Wish You Were Here, which might be one of the best post apoc fictions I've ever read
I have read it you stupid c**t and it was abysmally dreadful slop for edgy morons who get annoyed when anyone points out how fricking stupid they are for thinking their garbage book for garbage people is some inaccessible work of art
no you haven't, its hilarious you think repeating the words slop and garbage in anyway makes anything you say worthwhile, you might as well be a crossed ironically enough, just spouting obscenities mindlessly without any thought or reasoning behind it
I consider Wish You Were Here the greatest piece of post apocalyptic fiction ever written

I sincerely doubt that whats your best post apoc fiction then?

>tells you to eat the TV dinner boob
Wat do?
Maybe +100
the frick language is this shit
Alan Moore wrote this and it takes place a century after The Crossed apocalypse began so he felt that people would start talking like morons or something.
You mean he watched Threads and just copied the ending of that when people were basically sent back to the iron age?
Imagine taking the absolute worst part of threads and think it's brilliant and try to replicate it
Kinda like you're doing right now?
Ah, that's why it was insufferable while reading it.
I cannot wait for this stupid old fricker to die so everyone can finally admit he only ever wrote one story of any value
and no it wasn't Watchmen
For me, it's Swamp Thing.
you're wrong but i'll grant Swamp Thing had some interesting ideas
the correct answer is From Hell, which is so much better than his other work I'm convinced its at least partly plagiarized
>From Hell
>the killings are, in Gull's mind, part of an elaborate mystical ritual to ensure male societal dominance over women.
This sounds like total trash.
From Hell is based entirely on other sources and the main story comes from Stephen Knight's work which Moore lays out in the appendices. It is a work of synthesising research which is Moore's strength and why it is so rich for him to accuse others of plagiarising his work for hire which was already based on other men's work for hire of stories they didn't invent
he did give all his vast profits from MM to the original writers estate
Alan has completely destroyed his brain cells with weed.
Considering the rate languages keep deteriorating each passing year, I think he was being a bit conservative on how incomprehensible it will be in the future.
Damn lol that man is such a pretentious homosexual. What the frick makes the guy think this benefits the telling of the story at all? Any real writer would smack that commie homosexual in the mouth.
In Threads the reason they spoke like that is because all the kids were born moronic, it wasn't because they forgot how to speak English. Do the Crossed characters still speak normally when they say they want to pee in your eyeballs or something?
Why am I not surprised that this homosexual would be involved with such garbage as Crossed?
This guy wrote the only interesting issues out of the whole thing and even he got tired of the edgy shit midway through.
i can't hate him. sorry guys. He may be a gay lame old man living in a hovel, but he wrote Swamp Thing. That's the greatest denomination of humanity currently available.
I hate what Alan Moore did to the series.
I like what Allan Moore did to the series, Salt is a great villian
You're all dumb if you think this is bad or unrealistic. Alan Moore is, believe it or not, a really good writer so he eases you into the future slang so its easy to understand. Clockwork orange does the exact same thing for every line of its narration and it works fine.
i read some of the crossed that alan moore wrote and the made up language is so lazy and pathetic
audie is hearing
opsy is seeing
brown is shit/bad
completely half-assed crap that he came up in an afternoon, not to mention the use of afawk and yeah? and shit, honestly comes across as some out of touch grandpa mixed with an edgy teenager
it's not at all how real languages evolve or work.
It's not supposed to be overly complicated just different enough it take sa little getting use to if it was too complicated it would be to frustrating to read
"and but" is a great non obvious one that really seems like a change that could happen, because it sounds all wrong at first but after a while scans very naturally with kind of a nice feel to it.
Also really like "kick for" to mean heading somewhere
yea once you get use to it its a lot of fun, for some reason i drew a complete blank on "juice" even though it seems like the easiest one to figure out, its electricity
yes its a gimmick a clever fun gimmick and like the same gimmick in clockwork the more you learn the more it shows you how people view things which is you may be shocked to learn different
no, nadsot is not a gimmick in aco, it's a youth language that shows the fundamental separation between ages, it's also well structured, lyrical and has depth, which moore's does not
moore tries to do it with the person from the east but he does the typical hacky 'curriner on the verges hammy dosint tobey mennige' nonsense
thats literally just your opinion, different areas have different words for the same thing because of their background and the survivours they came from, certain words have a negative slant in some groups while a different word but meaning the same thing have a neutral slant as they don't view it negatively,I like clockwork too read the book many times, that doesn't take anything away from what moore did
that is literally the bare minimum you should do, it's not impressive
not to mention the whole muslim shit
moore is a typical multikulti leftist britcuck
oh your just upset about the muslim thing, got it nvm, I thought your nitpicking was weird makes sense now
nope, the muslim thing is just another example of lazy world building (and moore's cuckness)
stay mad though
if anything having a culture where the word for 'see' isn't just a corruption of a word associated with see, is more evocative of a culture on the brink of destruction as they have lost connection with everything preceding it.
also it's not true, there are many cities in the story, the protagonist is an archivist and reads tolkein, heinlein et al.
>also it's not true, there are many cities in the story
I only read +100 up to where they got to Chicago but isn't this around the time where people are getting organized and able to have enough free time to read instead of just watching videos of The Surprise on scavenged cell phones?
the peoples don't like to read much the words are too complicated like us reading old english but they do watch movies, can't remember what they call them
lol after a hundred years of fights and running from crossed a changed language makes every kind of sense, you just really seem to hate moore for some reason, also the protag reading is an odd thing thats her job and everyone comments how weird it is she does it in her spare time
>lol after a hundred years of fights and running from crossed a changed language makes every kind of sense
and yet it's only change in a few circumstances and the changes are not radical changes and are just cognates of the previous words
do you understand how drastic the language would change in a post-apocalyptic scenario? latin changed massively through immigration alone, same for many other languages like the great vowel shift
i actually don't, moore is probably my favourite comic book writer
you are defeating your own argument, they have the archivists aka the protag for one, it seems to be a past time to watch old vids and movies, its like us watching shakespear, we understand whats being said but we aren't going to start saying thee and thither hence any time soon
>they have the archivists aka the protag for one,
but you said that's rare, why would a small group of professionals have any influence on the vernacular?
and if they watch old movies why did common verbs fall out of usage?
that's the problem with moore's shit language, it's unrealistic because it's faux-radical.
he decided to change the language but not in any meaningful way
languages evolve and change in more interesting and unique ways than taking a word and changing it a little
massive events have massive repercussions on languages as shown historically, instead of changing about 11 words (all still using the same grammar by the way)
>the language should be incomprehensible to the readers
Genius-level marketing here.
nope, a smart writer via world building and context clues could have given the reader the ability to understand
the problem is, is that it would have taken effort and knowledge on the part of the writer, and the reader, and both in this case are moronic and lazy
instead you have a pretentious lazy slang english that the idiotic reader can pat themselves on the back for understanding
and yet if the most common verbs change, why doesn't everything?
it's not literary, it's linguistics, moron, which I actually have studied having learned Latin and Ancient Greek and seeing how those languages progressed through the eras (hint it's more interesting and complex than changing the word for seeing)
>a smart writer
lol their you go again, sorry mate i'm sure in your own head you are a literary genius but here in the real world Moore is and you are just a seething pseud
moore is not a god, sorry anon, he's very good at certain aspects, but like everyone he has weaknesses, and they're very apparent in the crossed
sorry that disrupts the mirage you've conjured of alan moore while you're busy jerking off to him
you don't even know what pseud means eh? its you it describes you perfectly and you double down with every post

yep insufferable douche bag, given you the benefit of the doubt long enough, keep wanking on about your greek lit studies if it makes you feel better though
i only mentioned the languages because you were the idiot that thought "literary" was entirely linguistics.
no need to thank me for the free education
keep crying
good to see you've given up using words, which is a concept beyond your comprehension.
i beaten you so badly you've become even more stupid
don't worry, i accept your defeat
post another to show you understand
well as I already said and this anon reiterated
also they watch movies and everyone watches the surprise, so literally everyone keeps getting pulled back to the old language so it doesn't progress too much, love is from the heart over time they drop the "love" and just say I heart you, it all makes very logical sense, you thinking you are smarter then moore when it comes to literary matters is kinda hilarious
well it's a gimmick then, functionally it presents nothing different than using the actual words nor does it confer anything on the audience in terms of the world other than apparently a language changes a few words in a hundred years
if you've ever read a clockwork orange then you'd know how a good writer presents an argot that the audience can decipher
Honestly, I love Moore but "out of touch grandpa mixed with edgy teen" is about as accurate a descriptor as you could get for him. He seriously thought the "unspeakable, indescribable horror" of Lovecraft was... Sexual frustration and rape. What an utterly banal take.
If you've ever read "Lost Girls", I think that's the best lens into his limits as a writer. He writes this epic work of erotica, where the conceit is that the heroines of childhood fantasy stories all actually had some kind of sexual experience that they interpret through fantasy. But he never really has much to say beyond "sex is good and normal, rape and sexual repression are bad".
are you fricking kidding me? have you read providence? the unspeakable indescribable horror are the unspeakable indescribable horrors
No. I read a few highlights and drew my conclusions off that. A waaaaaay long time ago.
(I'm kinda moronic)
Is it actually worth reading if I'm a Lovecraft fan? Cuz honestly the only part I thought was worthwhile was the weird time frickery and the protagonist learning to speak Xothic through that.
yes its absolutely worth reading the first 2 shorts that are preludes have to be read first, Courtyard, Neonomicon then Providence, not a big fan of Neonomicon but it all comes together so well in Providence which is a full length graphic novel
Sweet, I'll give it another shot. Thanks anon!
nws enjoy
yes and leading from that you can instantly work out what a meaning is without having encountered all the words before for instance what do you think
>casper the brown out of any who opsy it?
yeah so it's no different to using the actual words
moore is an idiot that relies on lazy devolution of cognates as a way to supply his words, it would have been far better to have actually constructed different words that actually give us an insight into the characters instead of
>hmmm audio is related to hearing, what if audie was a verb
>hmmm optical is related to seeing...
either go all in on something or don't
I don't have a dog in this fight but it seems logical that after 100 years of constantly running and hiding from Crossed while everyone reflexively screams "FRICK!" as they're being pursued, people might not have as varied and complex of vocabularies as their ancestors.
>honestly comes across as some out of touch grandpa mixed with an edgy teenager
So literally what it is then
>he felt that people would start talking like morons or something.
Already happened.
had a stroke reading this
That was incomprehensible
That's your average Indian trying to have an argument on Cinemaphile
Was this machine translated or something? Wtf lol
It's a future language it makes sense after a little while then you just read it and understand without really thinking about it
The Sadness did this already and is much better than crossed because it actually ends instead of just going on forever and dropping off of any relevance because you can only see a drawing of someone getting raped in a knife wound or whatever so many times before it gets boring.
Correct opinion.
But they did. It's called 28 Days Later.
How does Crossed make people seethe so much
They seethe because everyone rightfully calls it garbage and then they get mad that nobody thinks they are dark and mysterious for liking splatter comics.
Nobody thinks liking splatter comics makes them 'dark and mysterious' that's just moronic
>that's moronic
Exactly.
You're inventing people to get mad at again
We talked about this
Must have touched a nerve. It's well known that crossed caters to moronic edgelords who think reading this shit makes them dark and twisted and somehow interesting. You're getting mad over real people again, calm down it's just a Garth Ennis comic lol.
>It's well known
Ah, the crutch of the idiot.

Her leg was fricked up. She was begging him to take their child and leave her.
But why wouldnt the crossed rape his daughter?
They cut her in half
Do you mean if he ran away with her? There was a whole group running from them that he was separated from thanks to his hanging back with her. The group winds up making it, so I don't see why the two of them wouldn't have had he decided to them with his daughter. One things for damn sure though: staying back and trying out the salt did frick all.
I didnt think too much about this comi lc when I first read it, but now after having kids this scene is horrifying to me
>he predicted the soijak
>IT'S TAPE!
>wrote him as an unsympathetic conspiracy /misc/tard whose wife yells at him while they're being raped/murdered
Literally The Boys comic level writing, no subtlety or realism so it's more like you're watching Looney Tunes than any thoughtful exploration of the themes.Just really shitty writing all around.
It's Garth Ennis, his writing is edgy for the sake of being edgy

here u go bro
goon material
Now post the one with the guy fricking the dolphin.
I can take a man and his family being raped, tortured, and murdered but the dolphin fricking was too moronic for me to continue.
Which is too bad as I've heard that's one of the best series.
She looks annoyed rather than horrified
Crossed carry a virus and you turn into an edgelord when you turn. She is in the process of turning and is enjoying what is happening and wants to hurt the ginger redditor
So shouldn't he also be being an edgelord telling her how happy he is to have had her raped and their child torn apart?
It really doesn't make any sense at all. Crossed is also stupid because even as edgy as it tries to be there's still certain lines it won't cross. Not that it should, but there's no point is going to the edge of decency only to stop because whoa, that's too far.
It's typical modern liberal morality. You can be as authoritarian, violent, sexually perverse, and hostile to knowledge as you want; but how dare you do a racism.
I haven't read the entirety of Crossed, but I doubt that Ennis shied away from slurs, he didn't in The Boys.
Slurs only counts as potty mouth language. If you are actually racist or sexist, then you end up like
this is how all "extreme horror" fans are
Ralston's "Woom" got bad reviews because a black guy says "homie" in it but Ralston is white.
Extreme Horror is a genre for women and sub-80 IQ morons
Damn you're so much better and more sophisticated than horror fans that all you have to do today is sit on Cinemaphile and argue about Crossed. Shouldn't you be composing your next sonata?
I am a horror fan. But when someone looks you in the face and tells you Kristopher Triana or Nick Cutter are "actually really good writers" it takes a toll on you. The entire genre of "extreme" horror is absolute irredeemable dogshit, and the only well-written stuff is only tangentially related, like Child of God.
>it takes a toll on you
Maybe you need psychiatric help then.
Maybe you need to read something written by a writer
Very clever comeback.
>I am a horror fan. But when someone looks you in the face and tells you Kristopher Triana or Nick Cutter are "actually really good writers" it takes a toll on you.
>takes a toll on you
horror fans are sick in the head.
Use your brain, brainlet. If a moronic Crossed writer can figure it out, so can you
The implication is that the woman was the first one to be raped, possibly so the guy can watch because they get more pleasure out of that
Are you stupid?
The infection is spreading to her faster than him, that is all. Sooner or later he will be the same edgelord as the rest of them, assuming they are not killed and eaten first.
MAN that dialogue is garbage
This and the subsequent page are where Crossed peaks. The find that Cinemaphile is upset about it and takes it as some kind of personal affront makes it even more hilarious.
what the hell is going???
>average Magic the Gathering enjoyer
What did Garth mean by this?
>the result
Garth Ennis has a lot of animosity for types of guys that I can't imagine he's that much different than.
He hates autistic wheonesque self important nerds. Okay how much distance does he really have there to play around with.
He also has this hatred for any kind of man he perceives as weak in general, I'm sure its more than once you see true contempt and disgust for men who get raped and a belief that generally it happens to them due to their own failings. Like sorry but Garth doesn't look like that strong a guy he could get raped about as easy as most of the characters it happens to in his comics if he was unlucky enough.
he grew up in northern ireland with car bombs going off around him. he's a nerd but with perspective.
Being a protestant in Northern Ireland wasn't that bad. There weren't just car bombs going off left and right from an individuals perspective it wasn't the Somme.
>Will there be a studio brave enough to adapt this?
The question as posed is too vague: Define "brave" and how an inanimate object--"a studio"--can have humanlike qualities.
Brave as in its pretty brave (stupid) to throw your career away making something where the "le zombies... le rape? Humanity is... le real monster!?!" gimmick gets old real fast
israeli poz. More likely than not to happen.
>DUDE HUMANITY WAS THE REAL CROSSED™ ALL ALONG LMAO
I like how the protagonists just got edgier and edgier
HORSE wiener
>Crossed people are supposed to be about inflicting suffering and shit
>This guy is just dancing with a corpse that couldn't care less
Seems rather benign, considering what we've come to expect from the crossed.
It's a moronic premise with even worse execution. "Virus that makes you do the worst things you can imagine" turns out to just give you a potty mouth.
No you idiot this is another "I hate humanity" cover because its transgressive. The dude dug up somebody's wifes corpse and danced with her and its all "disturbing and shit" and "violated her" its probably worse in theory than if someone just simply ate her brain. Like I am 110% sure that people would boycott any zombie media that did that its literally taking away her agency because she is dead.
Wow I never cared about Crossed to follow it into a sci-fi future. Having your horses be robots is smart.
zombie media does do that in a recent walking dead a guy had an entire band of zombies as in a musical group he ties them to various instruments dresses them up as band members and then they "play" when they get agitated, he wasn't even some villian btw just a random nutball they briefly run into
How did the Salt arch end?
I think it ends ambiguously, it seems to imply that humans and the crossed end up co-existing, they might have had plans to continue but Avatar Press went down under.
Is this really where Crossed ends up? Why are there robot horses? Why don’t those men have faces?
lol, that was just a dream sequence where she encounters J.R.R Tolkien (or who she thinks Tolkien was). The last arc is about a love story between a crossed and a non-infected and it ends with them traveling to other human bases and infecting them.
how the frick does a romance between a crossed and non work? Why isn't she getting raped?
A serial killer named Beauregard Salt got infected during the initial outbreak and retained his intelligence. He realized that the crossed were doomed to all kill themselves since they lacked self preservation instincts and so he tried to teach the crossed discipline and self-restraint, creating an entire generation of "smart" crossed that continued into the next century.
moronic homosexualry
so what's the difference exactly? They're just like regular humans now except they have blood on faces?
I'd like to see a crossed +1000 where crossed are now colonizing the stars and are the most feared reavers in the galaxy like Cylons
>yeah they're awful but 1 in 100000 of them is smart, and if we prop them up and liberal democracy hard enough we can be one big mixed family of brown-beige with no icky WHITE people
holy shit, they cannot escape the programming
I thought crossed 100 ended with the moronic vault full of ground cross babies being expelled onto a bunch of humans and the main character and her husband leave with their adopted crossed daughter.
Yes that's how it ends except the husband does saving them from joke-mercy
*does die
This are the dumbest comic panels I've ever read since Neonomicon.
I can't read this shit, what the frick is going on?
Daily reminder this is what Alan Moore predicts in the future
>humans and crossed coexist
Why do these old shitlib writers always have to find a way to make everything so fricking gay? Can't there simply be victory over a clearly evil entity? Could you at least write dialogue normally and not put stupid robot horses that make no sense? I hate Alan Moore so much.
>Can't there simply be victory over a clearly evil entity?
Is that really the kind of thing you read something like Crossed for? I would argue any kind of good end is a total copout.
From llama 3 70b translation.
1st panel: "Whoa! Stop right there, people."
2nd panel: "Um... yeah. What's going on in Columbia? What brings you here?"
"I heard your horses. It sounded like there might be more of you."
3rd panel: "Once we were many, but then there was a great disaster. Now we ride to make the future right. I am George R.R. Tolkien."
4th panel: "George R.R...? That's a famous author! I can't believe this is real! I love wishful fiction. Will you really fix everything, you and your friends?"
5th panel: "That's a promise. Our team will always fight for the people. Meet my gang, Hugo Bareback, Alfred the Best, Walt the Miller, Fineline, Azimuth…"
"Yeah, ma'am."
6th panel: "Uh... yeah, everybody. You people are the best. Do you want to eat or something?"
"No, thanks. We're worried we might be too late already."
>Crossed gets posted /b/ and gets made fun of nonstop for being the apex of try hard edginess
>morons unironically start to enjoy it simply because they saw it reposted again and again
>It eventually becomes THIS
Anyone who enjoys or defends this shit needs to be chemically castrated.
>People like this horrifically violent comic
>We should inflict horrific violence on them
The total lack of self awareness is incredible
Do you think it's bad because it's violent or bad because it's lazy, poorly drawn, and completely devoid of any creativity?
Do you think chemical castration would be a petty act of violence as catharsis or to try and avoid morons spawning other morons? And no, no one expects a proper defense of this comic or any logical thinking from you. If you enjoy this garbage, especially 10 years after the fact, no one should expect literally anything from you. Kind of impressed you've managed to use a computer or phone and made it this far.
You are mentally ill you want to mutilate people for liking a fictional story you don't
chemical castration is a drug you tard
No it's not it's a chemical the clue is in the name
What is this series even about? All I know is that it's gory
>All I know is that it's gory
Correct.
There isn't much of a plot, the whole thing is an excuse for the next gore and/or rape scene.
A bullshit plot device, I mean virus, makes it to where ppl go into turbo ultra edge lord mode. Which is utterly moronic because it merely removes unfiltered thoughts, but they make it to where every single human just wants to live as a hills have eyes wannabe as if every single human is constantly thinking of fricking, raping, and destruction 24/7. There's no one who steals cause thats all he thinks about, there's no one that overeats, there's no one who merely just talking like a sailor cause they had to be proper their whole lives. Nope, just instant murder rape and cannibal holocaust shit.
That's not what it is the crossed are literally evil, not uninhibited actually evil, the patient zero crossed are very coherent
And that's dumb. You mean to tell me that these many ppl are just straight up legit evil and have just been suppressing it? Man cmon. The virus would have no effect on their cognitive function if they were as evil as you're saying. I mean this is also by the guy who couldn't make a morally Grey hero so im not surprised he goes for the instant worse outcome in any of his bullshit writings. If this was done more tasteful, then the virus would AMPLIFY your evil, it wouldn't suddenly just transform you. That way you can actually believe someone who talks about God and church coming to the eventual point of butt fricking someone.
No they haven't been suppressing it you still aren't getting it they are infected by pure evil, it's not removing inhibition or anything of the kind, patient zero explains this
>a virus of pure evil because evil
That's even more fricking moronic than anything I'm trying to make sense of. I'm convinced now Ennis is just a turbo edgy moron that can't look past "muh ultimate shock value", if this homosexual wrote Jurassic Park then you'd see the dinos raping humans and each other cause "coming back to life infused them with evil" bullshit. He better thank god Amazon picked up his shitty series.
Eh weird thing to get upset about, all these stories have a dumb premise walking dead are zombies because they just are ok, Y the last man hes the last man because...he just is ok, crossed are crossed because...evil virus w/e
You see, the virus allows them to tap into the Christian part of the brain, where all wicked deeds are justified and pleasurable for religious reasons.
This is stated by a manly british army veteran that's the smartest man in the room and with a devil may care attitude, so you know it too be true.
no that is debunked many times, their is nothing christian about it it just happens to be a cross and some idiots draw the wrong conclusions from that just like the very first idiot we meet in the very first issue with the salt
But the character in question is not an idiot. He's the intelligent manly guy with all the answers and solutions that would have saved England had he been in charge.
Face it, the Christians were the real crossed all along. Really makes you think.
but he has a massive bias against religion which he even admits too, and further admits the priest isn't wrong, he just can't let go of his long held prejudice, did you miss that part? its not like the special forces squad is a complicated story
Ah, but same badass hero soldier is in the story with patient zero man, where the dumb scientists and politicians don't listen to his cool and objective advice. And he internally monologues about the same stuff there. You saying the blatant author avatar is incorrect?
of course ennis even admits through his avatar he is incorrect with the decision made at the end of the SAS arc by the cool SAS guy remember this is ennis SAS must always be cool doesn't mean they are always right, even his self insert, and btw in a recent The Boys extra dear becky, he made the priest from hugies home town an actual decent guy who just pretended to be a loon, I think garth has over time achieved just the tinniest modicum of character growth
Death to Islam
The Taiwanese has a movie about a Crossed-like outbreak
This has an eyesocket rape scene
its pretty messed up
>Crossed are zombie like people that are unhinged without any type of restraint to do to any type of atrocities and depravities
>None of them say "Black person" in any of the comics
kek, American comics
the people who create and consume this shit are the biggest homosexuals on the planet when it comes to things like that.
>dude you can't use racist language even coming from a villain or as a joke, what if someone reading it gets triggered, or god forbid, thinks its okay to use those words?
*continues reading comic where children are violently murdered*
Imagine a zombie fiction that the only word zombies can say is the word "Black person".
Will that comic make me rich, Cinemaphile?
crossed always seemed like a decent idea thats very pooly executed. I doubt that most people would want to go on killing rampages if their inhibitions were taken away. Im sure rapes and some killing would happen, but id imagine a good chunk of infected would just drink/drug themselves to death or speed around in their car until the crash. Ive always wanted to fly a jet but cant afford to do so, so id imagine id get super drunk then try to get a jet at the local airport or something, but i dont dislike anyone enough to kill them. Garth is just too fricking edgy to make good shit. The only crossed that i read that was almost interesting was the one in japan where the one girl didnt want to kill her friends when infect so she simply didnt.
What this guy said. They say that the crossed virus is supposed to remove your inhibition and let you act on your worse impulse, not turn people into cannibalistic sadist. If I was turned into a crossed, I'd probably just go around yelling Black person and telling people about the israelites.
>Worse
*Worst
I think it would be very easy for small arguments to turn very violent. If you were truly uninhibited, anytime someone upset you and you wanted to hurt them (which is often) you would.
Of course, it would be far less conducive to a spooky post apocalypse if you had to piss off the hordes before they tried to kill you and your children.
Rape would happen a lot, though, so I guess that would be enough.
I think that could kind of work if it was a combo apocalypse, like the omega man, and there were "tiers" of Crossed.
So, a virus wipes out a huge percent of mankind. Society collapses. In the wake, there are people who are immune or resistant, who are pretty much normal. Then there are people who are moderately infected, who just have no real inhibitions. They're weird, but mostly functional. You have to be careful around them, because if you annoy one they'll try to murder you, and if one finds you attractive, they'll try to rape you.
Then you have the true freaks, who's infection has triggered super high levels of aggression and fight or flight, who basically react violently to everyone and everything except other infected. They're more like traditional zombies, but smart enough to use weapons.
The tension would come with not being certain who's infected or how much, and the usual struggle to survive of a collapsed world.
But honestly, now that I've typed that out, it just feels like Mad Max with extra steps. People in Haiti irl didn't need a crazy virus to become factional warlords and cannibals, after all.
so what caused the outbreak? the fatal englishman just straight up imply that it suddenly happened
frick crossed. Where is my Uber movie/tv show, I need to see my wife Katyusha again
Uber is actually, legitimately, actually the best comic I've ever read
The quality in that fricking series is absurd
I might check it out, is it even better than The Sandman?
It's unfinished and nothing like sandman it's an alternative history where just as Berlin is about to be invaded a secret nazi project cracks out super powered soldiers the Ubers
>unfinished
ouch, the premise sounds fun enough but I'm tired of unfinished stories
I mean it's almost finished like 5 chapters would do it, most plots are resolved, in WW2 terms they are closing in on Berlin north west and south, that's not what's happening but that's how close it is to being done
alright you convinced me, I'll give it a go
Why is it on hiatus?
No one knows exactly the publisher just suddenly stopped releasing anything new back in 2020 iirc they still exist and rerelease old stuff but they haven't published anything new for a couple years and refuse to make a statement
Damn shame, I really liked it
There is only 4 issues left too, that's it, invasion was suppose to be 23 issues and he got up to 19 it's mental he can't at least get another Kickstarter just for 4 issues
It started very strong, but the quality did drop.
idk siegfrieds long death was kinda amazing, taking out a battleship was built up so much and it did not disappoint
>Katyusha
Sieglinde best girl
The scene with her aryan amazon boobas covered in blood really peaked my interests as a teen
its 'piqued' but I wouldn't expect someone who enjoyed that comic to know that.
What scene is that?
they should finish the actual fricking comic first
Maybe if they ever finish the fricking comic
HORSEwiener
Who will play the chud?
>hey i might be the crossed but at least i dont support corperations
Was fake news any good?
Wtf?
This is a 14 year olds mind. How did this get published?
I would almost say no studio would be stupid enough to piss their money away on such atrocious source material but these days I can't be sure. Crossed is utter garbage though.
the art was actually kind of non-repulse and well-done for once instead of crusty and amateur in the much later arcs, like drawn with someone with an actual. I think Fernando Heinz is the name of the artist
Some of the arcs in Badlands had tolerable art. The yakuza arc actually had a very sweet ending.
It had odd sympathetic moments. Also, easily the most interesting is an antagonist.
Crossed: Wish You Were Here would have the best chance of being made since it (sometimes) tries to have a coherent story. Just would have to cut out/tone down: opening scene dolphin rape, sheep rape, regular rape, 15yo nudity, crows eating children's eyes, fat ugly naked women.
Everyone involved in the making of this comic should be executed by fusilade in a televised event broadcast countrywide as a message to other degenerates to stay in the fricking closet.
cool is with the anti-semitism
I'll have you know that my antisemitism is already very cool.
>SOMEBODY SHOULD FRICKING KILL ALL THIS PEOPLE FOR MAKING VIOLENT COMIC BOOK!!
Were you always this stupid, or it just came to you with time and practice?
Always thought it was funny how the first comic had a major theme about holding onto what makes you human even if it's not the most practical survival thing and then the following comics are just torture and misery porn. The psychopath series just sucks but is probably the most well known because it's easily the most fricked.
That said the made up story about the cavemen crossed that weren't actually crossed lmao was pretty cool.
First series was tolerable because it was an original and terrifying concept, and they shit the bed. Now it's just edgelords gooning to the next 2 page spread of kids being thrown into a woodchippper or some other homosexualry.
This is one of the most ridiculous comics ever to exist.
>crossed...
>a world where everyone... crosses the line!
Just trying to be the edgiest edgy comic ever. Garth Penis should become an hero already and spare us from this shit.
It's over the top edgy shock slop that appeals to 15 year olds.
>Khlav Kalash and some Crab Juice please
>Hallo Chef, Döner mit allem?
>The only religion that survived is Islam
Alan Moore's had an interest in Islam for some reason, despite his paganism. Even in his Marvelman/Miracleman comics from the 80s, he wrote that the only religion that resists the MM regime are Islamic fundies.
>despite his paganism.
Moor is an atheist commie
>But he worships Glycon!
Glycon was seen as a hoax religion in the antiquities, where its idol was supposedly a hand puppet, he's taking the piss.
>Moore states he prefers the belief in a probable hoax deity "because [he is] not likely to start believing that glove puppet created the universe or anything dangerous like that."
He's into "chaos magick," isn't he? I also remember reading some anecdote of his where he claims to have run into a real life version of John Constantine in some UK pub.
>He's into "chaos magick," isn't he?
He does have an interest in occult stuff (this doesn't qualify atheism, especially with new age occultism and chaos magick) I'm not sure if it's chaos magick or if he practices it vs just an interest in it for his work.
I could be wrong though, I'm not his biographer.
You might be thinking of Grant Morrison for chaos magick specifically
disqualify atheism**
Interdasting. Thanks.
No Moore also claims to be into chaos magic and probably spells it with a k like a homosexual the same as you, at least Moore didn't end up being a fricking troony though
he also claims he talked to a demon and saw the 4th dimension
He's called himself a wizard, but I think that's in regards to instilling thought forms/dialectics in other people's minds, he "manipulates" reality that way.
What an absolute homosexual. He also seems very israeli.
I like dark edgy shit to an extent but Crossed is just disgusting and stupid as frick. Nothing of value in it at all.
the older I get the more convinced I become that gore = this comic is shit. A few issues of Ennis' Punisher MAX are ok, but everything else I'd read that has a significant amount of blood and guts was just totally worthless
Crossed is so bad. Do Ennis Punisher instead, please. I don't even know how The Boys made it. He's so edgy and terrible and Punisher is like the only good thing he did
Punisher is definitely Ennis' best work but it's still really hit and miss. Valley Forge Valley Forge is extraordinarily good, but all the Afghanistan/Ireland/Yugoslavian stuff is badly dated and steeped in Ennis' smug Y2K neoliberal bullshit, and Barracuda would probably start race riots. I don't think there's enough good stuff there for a full adaptation
Anything he did with Punisher is better than Crossed or The Boys
Crossed is unironically high iq media that filters easily offended homosexuals. It would have to be watered down at least some of the language.
Wrong board
>electric moron but for pretentious homosexuals
>What comic would you recommend anon?
Fullmetal Alchemist
Invincible.
Not not the animated series. THE ORIGINAL
I unironically like Resident Alien.
The comic, not whatever the frick was that show. Slow slice of life Whodunit stories that I can't help but like.
Metabarons
Lemires run on moon knight
Because you also look like you’d be mental and you can relate
Anything illustrated by Alberto Breccia.
Mort Cinder is mindblowing
Also Moebius
The Terrifier does similar sort of graphic torture porn, cant' they make a miniseries about Crossed?
Terrifier is zoomer shit that will be forgotten by that generation tomorrow if they haven't forgotten about it already
I didn't mean terrifier is good, I meant terrifier is torture porn, which is exactly the type of studio needed to do a Crossed adaptation
There is really nothing more pathetic than """adult""" comics
Must be a relief for your three decades old virgin ass, huh?
Perhaps you misunderstood I said I DON'T enjoy or read adult comicbooks.
I don't get it, why do the crossed not attack each other?
it's probably something moronic like "even the crazy murderous rapist pedophiles have more humanity and solidarity than the healthy, normal humans. Truly, we...were the Crossed(tm) all along...)
They do but crossed like pain so it isn't much fun for them, they don't want their victims to like it, if left without victims they do turn on each other
They do attack the crossed who are weak/gravely injured. They just prefer non-infected people
Crossed is comfy
I remember the 2009 /b/ storytime threads
There are so many free comic book/manga sites like you wouldn't believe, you can't even use Google?
They could make adjustments, it's already woke
You will get an adaptation but only
>>on amazon prime
producer seth rogen
set in the south, main character is a black guy, evil crossed are all wypeepo.
you still want it? because that's the only way you'll get it.
lemme guess all the crossed are white people
No probably the most famous crossed is smoky he's a black guy who carries a fireaxe around, hence the name
Most of em yeah and they're portrayed as country bumpkin hicks when infected so it's probably some jab at the south or some shit.
>supposedly beings of pure evil
>use more polite language than a random CoD lobby circa 2010
Most of them only ever say frick shit kill, literally that is the limit of their vocabulary, in one story a smart crossed which are like 1 in 10 million spreads months teaching a horde the word 'boring' and still only manages to teach a 3rd of them
The concept of cross is interesting, but gets boring pretty quickly since every crossed is the same type of edgelord and are just psycho humans. Probably would have been more interesting if it went a bit resident evil where they mutated and have different types of breeds of crossed that were changed body as well as mind so add to the horror. Could have different categories like you got the cannibals (basic zombie like), the nympho rapitsts that want to frick or be fricked, the torturers who torture and torment others, then you got the berserkers that just want to frick shit up with violence, the slavers who capture people and force them to do their bidding, the rulers who basically can manage the other cross to work together, the infiltrators who appear and act normal, but are just as psycho and kills off others in secret and redirect blame in the usual 'who done it' type mysteries, the infectors that just want to infect others, etc. It would have made it more interesting.
The Super crossed change it up all Super crossed stories are interesting
Japan did make a toned down rip off version called the Sadness.
It's Taiwanese and was mentioned like 10 times already.
Also the rape zombie series. More comedic, though.
>so are ya chinese or japanese?
I thought it would have been more interesting if she had to team up with the old man in the subway instead of him pursuing her for the rest of the movie. Keep his character incorrigible so it's an uneasy alliance. Maybe have another subway passenger pursuing them both, a younger more fit guy to maintain a decent threat level. That way you can keep the umbrella eye scene plus the eye socket rape
Did everyone forget The Crazies?
They're too young to have seen the remake let alone the original.
Crossed 100 at least when written by more was so much better than the original series it was embarassing. It turned into literature
Then somehow some random guy wrote a side story spin off series to crossed 100 called mimic that was also fantastic and really built on the ideas in crossed 100, further embarassing the original series because they didn't even have the excuse of it being written by Alan Moore. Also whether you believe in it or not mimic is a really good illustration of the concept of dialectical materialism without even trying to be.
hey thanks i didn't even know that existed thought I had read every crossed their is, one last mini series I guess nice, also as for the og series,you seem to be forgetting wish you were here the best mini series in the entire setting
Yeah I'm talking shit and making assumptions. What happened is I read the first few story arcs and wasn't that impressed, skipped to 100 because I knew Moore was involved, so I probably am wrong to assume there was nothing really good in between those two points. Did really like mimic though.
so the smokey arc is fun, but the really good one is the special forces squads stories and the crazy scotsmans story that leads into Wish You Were Here, which might be one of the best post apoc fictions I've ever read
hey its about fleshcook nice thanks again just started it, he did just drop out of the main story this is great cheers
The Sadness kicks ass. Truly a sad movie.
alright alright ill download the sadness this shit better be good
Well it's abysmally dreadful edgy slop for morons so I assume it's already in development
you've never read it so how would you know?
I have read it you stupid c**t and it was abysmally dreadful slop for edgy morons who get annoyed when anyone points out how fricking stupid they are for thinking their garbage book for garbage people is some inaccessible work of art
no you haven't, its hilarious you think repeating the words slop and garbage in anyway makes anything you say worthwhile, you might as well be a crossed ironically enough, just spouting obscenities mindlessly without any thought or reasoning behind it
>crossed
You are like a little baby.
Any Prison Pit fans ITT?
Me, shame the animated episodes never went too far.
>Me, shame the animated episodes never went too far.
Yeah, didn't expect much to come from it so I wasn't that disappointed.
OK, but it's directed by... I dunno, that chick with the Lego head.
>Will there be a studio brave enough to adapt this?
>shitty deviantart-fetish artstyle
>borderline edgelord "humor"
>moronic plot
who the frick even reads this shit?
clearly not you since you are wrong on all counts
I read Crossed and he's not wrong, it's 99% garbage
more like 75% trash and 25% brilliant
You'd have to be severely mentally moronic to consider anything in Crossed to be brilliant
I consider Wish You Were Here the greatest piece of post apocalyptic fiction ever written
Ah ok, so you are mentally moronic
you've never read it as already stated so why do you think your opinion is in any way relevant?
I have though, and it's the best Crossed story that I've read but in no way would I ever rank it highly.
I've just read more than you and I'm not an easily impressed moron, sorry.
I sincerely doubt that whats your best post apoc fiction then? I rank boy and his dog highly, the book I like the movie fine but it misses quite a lot, the road although cormacs relentless pessimism is always annoying, if you are so well read in the post apoc general whats your favorite? novel, comic, movie, tv show, what is it?
