Crossed Special #1 (Avatar Press 2014): Garth Ennis & Christian Zanier

Crossed Special #1 is a "senses-shattering" return to the origins of the apocalypse, written by series creator Garth Ennis. This oversized special marks a "mind-blowing" milestone in the Crossed mythos, delivering a story that is as "weird and twisted" as the day the first cross appeared. At White Dragon Comics, we secure these "investment-grade" Avatar Press titles to ensure the "visual fluidity" of this brutal survival horror is preserved for your collection.

The "Mind-Bending" Return of Garth Ennis

Whenever creator Garth Ennis returns to the world of the Crossed, the results are "stupefyingly" intense.

• The Visuals: Artist Christian Zanier captures the "pulsating" dread and "senses-shattering" violence with a level of detail that is both "weird and twisted" and undeniably "mind-blowing."

• The Narrative: This special features "visual fluidity" in its storytelling, jumping between the "senses-shattering" present and the "weird and twisted" past to explore how the world truly fell apart.

• Collector Appeal: As a standalone special from the series' most iconic writer, this issue is an "investment-grade" essential for anyone tracking the "hottest" titles in modern horror.

Issue Summary: "The Fatal Englishman"

In this "senses-shattering" special, Ennis introduces us to a "mind-bending" group of survivors who are "stupefyingly" different from the usual victims.

• Professional Survival: A group of British Special Forces soldiers attempts to navigate the "weird and twisted" landscape of a fallen UK. Their "mind-blowing" competence provides a unique lens on the Crossed threat.

• The Mission: Rather than just running, these soldiers have a "stupefying" and "weird and twisted" objective that could change the "visual fluidity" of the war against the infected—or lead to their "senses-shattering" demise.

• Uncompromising Horror: As expected from an Ennis-penned Crossed story, the "mind-bending" depravity of the Crossed is on full display, rendered with "stupefying" clarity.
