Crossed #1
In the grim aftermath of a global collapse, Stan and a small band of survivors cling to hope in a dark cave, haunted by the knowledge that their chances are slim. As they grapple with fear and memory, flashbacks reveal the fragile moments before the world fell—especially Stan’s bond with Cindy. When the Crossed come, the shelter becomes a death trap, and the survivors are forced to run, leaving behind Joel, Arwen, and Amy in the silence of the dark. Written by Garth Ennis and illustrated with haunting precision by Jacen Burrows—pencils and inks by Burrows, colors by Juanmar—this first issue of *Crossed* #1 delivers a raw, relentless look at humanity’s edge, with a cover by Burrows that captures the dread in every shadow.
