Crossed has earned its reputation as one of the most disturbing horror comic franchises ever published. But is there more to these stories than extreme violence and shocking imagery?After reading every Crossed comic, I'm counting down my five favorite stories from the franchise and exploring what makes them stand out.From Alan Moore's Crossed +100 and Garth Ennis' Of the World and Its Becoming to Simon Spurrier's El Mongo de Aus and Wish You Were Here, I'm looking at the storytelling, character development, dark humor, and moral questions that make these comics memorable.I'll also explain why Garth Ennis' original Crossed series, despite being one of my favorite survival horror stories, ultimately lands at number two.This episode explores what happens when society collapses, the terrible decisions people make to survive, and why the most effective horror isn't always the most graphic.What's your favorite Crossed story?
