Crossed #1 (2008) is the debut issue of the notorious horror comic series created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Jacen Burrows , published by Avatar Press
The issue sets a grim tone for the series, emphasizing that in this world, there is no hope or cure—only the choice of how long one can survive before becoming a monster themselves.
Gabriel Andrade’s art is the perfect foil to Moore’s dense script. Where previous Crossed artists leaned into hyper-detailed viscera, Andrade draws a world that is less bloody and more decayed . His panels are dominated by rust, kudzu vines strangling skyscrapers, and the faded logos of defunct corporations. The violence, when it comes, is quick and stark—a single panel of a hammer meeting a skull, without the splash-page fanfare. This restraint makes the cruelty heavier. It feels real, not operatic.
"Crossed" has received critical acclaim for its bold storytelling and unapologetic exploration of the darker aspects of human nature. The series has been praised for its originality and its ability to balance humor and horror.
