This is one of my favorite in the Crossed series because it harkens back to older zombie stories where the most dangerous thing is actually other humans who are only being emboldened by the tragedy. The horrible father is such a good example of how a horrible person can survive a tragedy and then become even more powerful when society crumbles. But it also shows how people can wind up bowing to that horrible person in a very believable manner. He's awful, he's an r-ist, but he's also offering protection they couldn't find elsewhere.
Nerd scum has the most videos on crossed !!! Also horror show Mickey and spooky rice. Film comic has one video called wolf creek and also there’s a movie on shudder called the sadness that is based on crossed
It's actually nice to see a Crossed story that doesn't end in extreme misery, hopelessness and everyone dead in the end. It's still bittersweet, but Adeline's story is the most hopeful one so far.
That's a fair opinion. I'm the opposite with the crossed comics tbh, that ending was a massive letdown for me and is partly why it's my least favourite crossed story.
Agreed. Please keep doing the series if you read this. 😅 i cant reaf it myself but the concept of it all is interesting as a horror story and I want to see if theres ever an END to it.
The artist - “But I have no idea how to draw a child!” The editor- “But you know how to draw an adult” The artist- “Yes. What’s your point?” The editor- “Just draw a tiny adult. I was also going to add “and just make its head disproportionately large but I realize you already do that with everyone you draw” The artist- “Thanks!”
Here’s the only aspect of Garth Ennis' *Cross* that truly frustrates me: the world has descended into chaos, and by this point, every person on Earth is aware of the Cross. Given this shared knowledge and the struggle to survive, it’s astonishing to see people continue to betray one another rather than unite and strive for a better future. Can humanity really be so foolish and malevolent in the face of such dire circumstances? It’s hard to believe that people would choose division over collaboration when survival is at stake!
we see it already, theres so many ongoing issues that could be resolved with collaboration, but politics and self-image prevents this. I fully believe society would continue to betray itself if there was an apocalypse.
Dude your like the only normal person that post consistently good content on the cross comics definitely continue doing this for the other stories if you have the chance!
If you're looking for more, spooky rice has covered four of them, they're short, but very entertaining. And his entire channel is built on reviewing disturbing stuff. He's got a few series covering manga, anime, and books, and comics.
@@chriserwin7823 I follow spooky rice . It’s just not as entertaining as this. And idk if you member mike or micky I forgot the name of his channel but he covered so much of the crossed then one day they deleted his channel! Never seen crossed after that unless it’s really old. . Like there was one when it was patient 0 z the starter dude of the outbreak
We weirdly have every single issue at our public library. The only thing close to being as complete, is probably our invincible collection. Someone wanted them bad and now I’m concerned
I like Garth Ennis and his writing (I like The Boys comic and his Punisher runs, bite me, streaming show fans) but I’m not willing to protect The Crossed series from his critics lol. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t have merit, though. Keep these up!
@@LiLSizzlerr Avatar press, the publisher, is in a limbo state. They haven’t published in years but haven’t sold the company or IPs as far as I know. The owner was a shitty business man and pissed off Garth Ennis and Alan Moore so they lost some good writers and kept going to inexpensive artists from South America to make their stuff. Crossed is probably done for a long while.
This is going to be made into a TV show or movie eventually, I just know it. Everything else has been made regardless of how shocking or crazy those stories were. This is next.
The Taiwanese made an adaptation, it’s called “the Sadness”. It’s an ok movie, as close to crossed as you can get without putting a rash on the infected.
Crossed: Family Values is truly a journey filled with horror and darkness! Garth Ennis has crafted a world where everything crosses the line of madness. One of his most haunting and daring works, definitely not for the faint of heart. Thanks for the deep dive into this complex and chilling story!
Just to clarify they really arent zombies, they are functional humans still. Only difference is they have no moral compass while having full consciousness and functioning skills
Your coverage was and critsim was awesome, I think we need too support these types of comics even if they aren't the best, the darker content is definitely awesome and we lose alot of that if we don't buy these. Good work!!!
I liked the crossed stories, but it got really repetitive super fast. Same issue I had with a lot of Zombie Apocolypse books. The whole "humans are the real evil" gets stale tremendously fast.
Unfortunately there are no more Crossed comics in the making. However look up Mercury Heat issues 7-12 and you'll be pleasantly surprised. And Mercury Heat is the last of Crossed comics in existence. Cheers 🍻
@@ElMalito187 What unfortunate news of a beloved comic that is well made with blood and gore and things I cant mention here. I'll get myself a cold one Cheers to my last Crossed comic read 🍻🍻
Family Values deals with a Mormon /LDS religious type family. Mostly patiarch leadership with a large family group but not with the large number or wives as with most of these off shoot groups but that changes with times the father sees himself as a messiah in the wilderness. But this is a symtom of a longer timeline of abuse within the females of the family. The Father bases his teaching on a very narrow interpetation of the old Testament/ The Book Of Mormon.(note The word Of God does not cause good people to trasgress against its teaching. Its a hateful few that do this) I won't go into this as in would be too graphic for youtube . The world can't unite for a number of reasons. Contact with other groups, groups with tyrannical leadership. Etc. The world of the Crossed is like The Walking Dead. People lost their moral compass. They were not ready when it happened and egos prevent them from learning to work together.
Just posted this on the previous Crossed video, but there are reports that a movie adaptation written by Ennis is in development. I personally don’t see how a movie like this could be made without making changes to the point that it would be mostly indistinguishable from other ‘fast’ zombie movies like 28 Days Later. The terror of being violated in the ways the Crossed do isn’t something that a lot of people would be on board for a movie. I’m reminded of the Reavers from Firefly, who are described as ‘raping, killing and eating’ their victims, in that order if you are lucky.
@@robirvine6970 Damn, I remember reading a blog post a couple years back that they were working on wrapping up the series with an issue or two but I haven't followed up. Such a shame.

Ain’t no way in hell this would ever get funded. It’s way too grotesque and controversial, especially will all the rape and implied child abuse. Any production willing to fund a show like this would have one hell of a controversy.
I think a good way to adapt crossed would be to make the crossed like the psychos from dead rising. They can still be brutal but not to the rate of the comics.

Nah we did it since dawn of humanity and we will keep doing it. If all morality justice etc is striped down we are just animals only smarter
One of the more prominent themes of the comic series: Crossed or not, people can be downright awful
It’s so easy to believe that people are shitty because people are often shitty.
The future comic goes more into that, where humanity has more or less won again and the crossed is now the endangered species
Dude your like the only normal person that post consistently good content on the cross comics definitely continue doing this for the other stories if you have the chance!
