Crossed Annual #1 (Avatar Press 2014): Simon Spurrier & Gabriel Andrade

Crossed Annual #1 is a "senses-shattering" expansion of the most brutal world in comics, delivering a "mind-blowing" long-form story that explores the "weird and twisted" evolution of survival. As the Crossed infection continues to strip away the "visual fluidity" of civilization, this annual provides a "stupefying" look at how the worst of humanity thrives in the chaos. At White Dragon Comics, we secure these "investment-grade" oversized issues to ensure the "senses-shattering" detail of the apocalypse is preserved for your collection.

The "Mind-Bending" Vision of Simon Spurrier

Writer Simon Spurrier (known for his "weird and twisted" work on Crossed: Wish You Were Here) brings a "stupefying" psychological depth to this oversized annual.

• The Visuals: Artist Gabriel Andrade provides "mind-blowing" line work that captures the "pulsating" horror of the infected with "senses-shattering" clarity.

• The Narrative: This issue features "visual fluidity" in its pacing, moving from "weird and twisted" moments of quiet tension to "stupefying" explosions of violence that define the Crossed universe.

• Collector Appeal: As a standalone annual, this is an "investment-grade" essential for completing any Crossed collection, particularly in the "senses-shattering" high-grade condition we maintain in our vault.

Issue Summary: "The Quiver"

In this "senses-shattering" annual, Spurrier introduces a "mind-bending" scenario involving a "weird and twisted" cult-like community trying to outlast the end of the world.

• The Sanctuary: The story focuses on a "stupefyingly" isolated group that has developed its own "weird and twisted" rules for survival, leading to "mind-blowing" internal conflicts.

• The Threat Within: As the Crossed swarm outside, the "visual fluidity" of the community begins to dissolve, revealing "senses-shattering" secrets that are just as "weird and twisted" as the monsters at the gates.

• Uncompromising End: In true Crossed fashion, the "mind-bending" conclusion is "stupefyingly" bleak, reinforcing the "senses-shattering" reality that in this world, there are no happy endings.
