Available in print for the first time! The second chapter of the brutal, apocalyptic horror series is finally here! Written by Si Spurrier (X-Men Legacy, Silver Surfer, Extermination), this critically acclaimed volume collects the latest arc of the weekly webcomic, ongoing at Crossedcomic.com. Unable to bear life on the doomed island-sanctuary he calls home, manipulative writer Shaky has tricked his way into an expedition crew: hunting supplies among the vile, violent hordes of Crossed on mainland Scotland. But will he find what he seeks amidst the blood-stained snow - a way to stave-off numbness; a reason to go on - or will the tough decisions of leadership and the terrors of a Crossed world rob him of what little humanity he has left? And if he survives, what will he and his companions find when they struggle home to the killing-shores of Cava Island? These are the continuing excerpts from Shaky's bleak diary: the story of a community clinging to a false future in a world overrun by infectious, sadistic fiends. There is no hope. There's only the Crossed. [(W) Simon Spurrier (A) Fernando Melek (CA) Jacen Burrows]
Si Spurrier unleashes the epic conclusion to the longest and most intense Crossed story ever! The island was a safe place. Sure there were petty politics, strife, and discontent, but that was life on Cava. Now the arrival of the American drift fleet brings true civilization back to the little paradise and opens the eyes of the petty and the jealous. Everything they've created on the island is but a shadow of the luxury and apparent safety the drift fleet has acquired. And what of the strange Crossed Nun that is tied to Shaky's past? Is she a savior holding back the Crossed berserkers from their eventual urges to pillage? Or is she a demon waiting for the moment to strike? Hell is coming for the island survivors and no place is safe from the monsters in its wake. In a world without help and without hope... there is only the Crossed. This volume collects the and final chapter of the hit online web comic Crossed: Wish You Were Here. Also available in hardcover, with a new cover by Jacen Burrows.
