Most are capable of basic (albeit deranged) speech, and wield whatever clubs, knives, or sharp objects are at hand to attack anything around them. Others will be so driven to kill that they will carry out suicide attacks, crashing vehicles or causing nuclear meltdowns. Many Crossed are practically feral savages with absolutely no regard for their own self-preservation, to the point that they will gleefully mutilate themselves for the sheer thrill of it, including amputating their own limbs. One of the most visible examples is the actual level of insanity demonstrated. The Crossed themselves show considerable variation, as they are still self-aware individuals – albeit turned into homicidal maniacs. Soon human civilization is all but gone, and mankind is an increasingly endangered species. One by one, the remaining military bases are overrun. A few nuclear power plants were not reached in time, however, such as Wolf Creek in Kansas and Browns Ferry in Alabama, detonated by Crossed who removed the control rods. government was to shut down as many nuclear power plants as possible and then kill the nuclear scientists and technicians to prevent them from reactivating the plants. Much of the Middle East was wiped out when Israel deployed nuclear weapons. The contagion spread across the entire world, with the Crossed killing, raping, engaging in cannibalism and maiming for fun, with governments and military overwhelmed friends and family butchered each other with anything they laid their hands on, and cities were turned into vast charnel houses.
#SAS ZOMBIE ASSAULT 4 2015 OCTOBER HALLOWEEN UPDATE SERIES#
It is occasionally noted in the series that a Crossed retains any skills they had prior to their infection most simply lack the patience or sanity to do anything not immediately related to their vicious impulses.
A major difference between the Crossed and other fictional zombie or insanity-virus epidemics (e.g., in the film 28 Days Later) is that while the Crossed are turned into homicidal violent psychopaths, they still retain a basic human-level of intelligence: thus, they are still capable of using tools and weapons, driving motor vehicles, setting complex traps, and other actions. This contagion is primarily spread through bodily fluids, which the Crossed have used to great effect by treating their weapons with their fluids, as well as through other forms of direct fluidic contact such as rape and bites, assuming the victim lives long enough to turn. Carriers of the virus are generally known as the "Crossed" due to a large, cross-like rash that appears on their faces – other names include "cross-faces" and "plus-faces". The story follows survivors dealing with a pandemic that causes its victims to carry out their most evil thoughts.

This section's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Which means no sequel, no more Stan, Cindy, Thomas or Kitrick (or Horsecock, Face or Stump, come to that)- just fresh stories set in the same world.Īs for David, who better? I think you'll see right from his first episode that he knows exactly what he's doing with the Crossed. So when William suggested other people doing more I said I wasn't averse to it, so long as a) I thought the creative teams were up to scratch, and b) my own story and characters would be left alone. That said, it's pretty obvious that what you have with Crossed is a ready-made fictional world with a good deal of potential for further development, and the Crossed themselves seem to be strong enough villains to maintain an audience. I didn't want to force the issue, either, because I'm very pleased with Crossed and don't want to dilute it with a sequel that I hadn't the ideas to sustain. To be honest, there was never really going to be a volume two-William would ask me regularly about the possibility, but apart from one or two vague scenes I pretty soon realised I had no more Crossed stories in me. Ennis described how this unusual situation for a creator-owned property came about: The second series, Crossed: Family Values, is written by David Lapham and drawn by Javier Barreno. It began with Crossed #0 on August 27, 2008, and all 10 issues have been released.
Crossed is a creator-owned series from writer Garth Ennis and artist Jacen Burrows.
