Crossed +100 Volume 1 (CROSSED PLUS 100 TP)

I love this adaptation/continuation of the original Crossed series. I started reading Crossed because Garth Innis and Jacen Burrows were involved and I am a huge fan of both their work and their collaborations, and was really intrigued/into it! I like that Crossed is a dark, morbid, heavy take on the "oh we could totally survive after the apocalypse" mindset that a lot of storytellers seem to drift into. Nothing goes right, everyone dies or barely escapes, horrible things are everywhere. That said, after 5 or 6 issues I started to get a little bored with the original crossed and thought I'd give Crossed+100 a try since I like Alan Moore so much. Amazing. The story is revitalized, centered, and gripping. The world is immersive and entertaining and it plunges you right in while giving you enough context to figure out what's going on (including the new English the characters speak). Fabulous while still being just as shocking and dark as the original. I will definitely be continuing reading!

This has crossed comic authored by Alan Moore was a cool read (although the future language was weird and I ended up reading it in Alan Moore thick accent.) Go ahead and get one because it will probably double in price and it looks like this may be one of the only few copies I’ll buy online because of the absurd prices. The plot being 100 years ahead was really cool and seeing the few communities remaining culture was interesting. Some crossed stories are better than others and this one was definitely worth it.

This is on the same scale as Watchmen or Killing Joke. Like most of Alan Moore's work, it haunts you. You lie in bed at night thinking about it. It starts a bit like a routine zombie story, but then things go in a direction you will not expect or forget. The mystery and horror are deeply intertwined. Just buy it already.

The language Moore creates for these characters is interesting. Takes some getting use too, but sure why not. Not as heavy handed with the gore as many of the other crossed series, however with this first volume Moore really seems to be setting up a solid base with developed characters and a new kind of crossed, so I will keep my mind open. Artwork is nice, kinda straightforward, not as stylized as and psychedelic as Raulo Cáceres, but it gets the job done and does not deter from the writing. If your a fan of the crossed series then you prob just have to have this anyway [=

Crossed +100 is a spin-off, taking place a hundred years after the original series called Crossed, an ultra-violent tale of humanity vs. infecteds. Some people complain about language in +100 being too switched up like: skull = think, movie = pretty, audie = listen/hear, and opsy= look/see. But I found it just takes a little time. While I've only finished the first volume, Crossed +100, to me, is far more interesting than the original series. Both the writing and the illustration are very well done.

Great change up. Handles the true post apocalypse (AFTER apocalypse) world really well. Been reading Crossed for about 4 years and this arc might be right under my favorite, WYWH, for me. Excited for the future of the Crossed series. The broken remnants of the English language is innovative and a really interesting detail of this arc. Although admittedly frustrating at times, I wouldn't change it given the opportunity because it's so loyal to this world they have created. Great job guys!

I've read the whole crossed series so naturally I got this and I didn't enjoy it. The writing was confusing and there wasn't much action.

if you like the previous volumes im sure you will enjoy this one too

Unglaublich spannend mit zunehmendem Tempo.

Arrived on schedule and well packaged. This series is different from the original Crossed but seems to be going in a direction that definitely has me wanting to see more so far. If you liked Crossed, you will find this a change but likely will enjoy it...depends on where this tale goes.

El comic era para mi chica que es fan las "inocentes" comics de crossed. La historia de este es bastante buena. El único problema es que hablan en un inglés del 2100 que ha degenerado. Pensar es "skull" comer es "food" y ver es "opsy"... se hace un poco raro medir el tiempo en "sextimes". (menuda unidad más variable)

A fantastic addition to the series, Alan has the intelligence and vision to create a new narrative in the years beyond the first outbreak

Comics Messiah Alan Moore takes on the Crossed franchise. This is a spectacular piece of writing but if you are in Crossed just for the gore then this will be your Prometheus. The biggest talking point is the language. Set 100 years in the future Moore has everyone speaking a dialect descended from internet speak. This will either take you a while to pick up, especially with what look like some editing inconsistencies, or make you put the book down. The advantage this brings is that it makes you read much slower than a roller coaster page-flipper that some comics can be. It gives you time to digest and speculate on the origins and course of his future. It is great fun working out where all the names came from and where in the world the characters are. There is virtually no gore or horror in the piece. This ensures you invest so much into the characters and a wonderfully slow build up makes for a shocking ending. There is a tipping point where you put the clues together and your heart sinks. The final issue over-stretches this like the host of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. But like a proper old ghost story the terror is firmly psychological and no final page turn will compete for what is in your head. One notable theme is a Muslim dominated settlement and Moore’s discussion and hypothesis of Islam might not be for everyone. Just as his version of the Crossed is the most different from anything previous. The art is great with Crossed veteran Gabriel Andrade returning from the main series. So much detail and effort is packed into every panel to effortlessly bring this future world to life. The colouring is great with a lot of earth tones working hard to realise this overgrown, agrarian environment. Double Thumbs Up!
