This isn't something I'd ever normally read but it was in a goodie basket that a friend had gifted me for Halloween, so I thought I should give it a try. After flipping through the pages for a few minutes, I decided I'd need to be slightly drunk to get through this one.Why?Well, I would say because it's gory, but that just doesn't adequately describe the sort of graphic, stomach-turning violence that happens in this thing.So, I got boozed up.It helped. I made it through the whole book, stopping
Crossed was a bit of a mixed bag for me, I was a bit bored with things early doors and it was only when a horsescock, not attached to a horse but in the hands of the crossed apocalypse showed up that interest developed. Don't really know the origins of the crossed virus but the infected end up with a cross on their face and nefarious intent to kill, rape and other general fuckedupidness. So the interesting thing is most certainly the infected crossed, they are not slow shuffling head chopping of...
Trigger warning for the book: Rape, murder, gore, infanticide, nudity, disembowelment, etc.Okay, this was one of the most twisted things I have ever read, and I actually like reading horrifying things. This is not a zombie book whatsoever. This is post-apocalyptic, and the origins of the "virus" are unclear. To describe to you what happens to these people when they are "infected," I will include a phenomenal passage from the book: "They were all the awful aspects of humanity magnified a hund
Take heed O ye of squeamish sensibilities:...seek thy entertainment elsewhere.Rarely am I be tempted to use the word VILE to describe a book to which I’m giving 4 stars, but Garth Ennis, master of “nasty with purpose” that he is, has a way with dark satire that can be both brilliantly insightful and pornographically depraved at the same time….at least when he’s on the top of his game. There are parts of Crossed are, if not vile, severely disturbing, and make this a difficult, difficult read (see...
The Atrocity Exhibition: Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows Reimagine the Zombie Apocalypse WARNING: This Review Contains Explicit and Disturbing Imagery'Preacher', by writer Garth Ennis, was one of the titles from the 1990's that helped justify the existence of DC's 'mature readers' imprint, Vertigo. In Preacher, Ennis and fellow Brit Steve Dillon created one of the most crazy, violent and shocking comics to be released by a mainstream publisher, taking their popular collaboration on Hellblazer t
With Preacher's Garth Ennis and Neonomicon/Providence's Jacen Burrows. Crossed is definitely a good read, right?Wrong.This is from a reader who gets a certain guilty pleasure with gore and death. Volume one of Crossed crosses that moral line many times but didn't get to the satisfaction I wanted from reading such material. If gore and violence upsets you then Crossed is definitely a no-no in your read list. It displays a certain imagery that will definitely twist your mind and soul (so thanks, J...
Garth Ennis' turn at the Walking Dead. Like he read it and said "That's good but it could do with more horse penis." Definitely a few 'Holy shit, G.E.' moments. Somewhat predictable though. 3.5 stars.
Well, I can say I have actually read this and I gotta say, it's better than I thought it would be.What's it about?A mysterious virus that comes out of nowhere infects a bunch of people. Sounds normal, right? Well, this virus turns those who get infected into insane sadists. Of course most of the world is infected now and this story focuses on a group of survivors trying to survive and not get infected.Pros:The story is very interesting and well written. From the way some people talk about it, I
The most intensely amazing thing about this story is how deep it peers into the darkness that is a few brain chemicals imbalances away for each and every one of us. What if your ability and interest in stifling your id - the pure, sociopathic, uninhibited impulses - were utterly removed/prevented from kicking in? The ability of Ennis & Burrows to stare directly into the maw of this near-reality is awe-inspiring and scary - scary not because they must be so f'd up to think of this, but scary beca...
Three and a half stars.“The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.”Not from where I’m sitting, Timbuk3, you one hit wonders.Ask Robert Kirkman, ask the people who came up with Resident Evil and The Crazies, ask Garth Ennis.“Mr. Ennis, is the future going to be bright, shiny and rosy?”“Jeff, we’re all screwed”It’s another unexplained phenomenon that comes along and infects most of the population, this time, turning them into “foul-mouthed, cannibal rapists”.So the survivors want to hustle their...
Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows have created a seriously warped, evil runs amok world, where a plague causes people to have a weeping bloody cross appear on their faces and sees them being utterly consumed by their base desires.A shocking and outrageous (triggers abound) portrayal of human debasement is tempered by an impressive analysis of the human condition of the people that manage to survive. Easily, in my opinion, Ennis' most controversial work that I've read so far! A top notch must-read ho...
I love Garth Ennis, he's one of the few writers I would buy if I saw his name on the cover simply because I know he can deliver. His series "The Boys" is superb and his past successes speak for themselves - Preacher, Chronicles of Wormwood, the Kev series, all gold. But Crossed? Uh... not so good. The story is that an event happens - we don't know what it is, we're never told, but the deepest darkest places in humanity's capabilities are suddenly unleashed and those who become infected or "cross...
