Christos Gage’s new Crossed: Badlands arc continues with the second chapter of the “Quisling” story. ?Fans of Gage’s hard boiled crime style are in for a treat as he turns his attention to telling the story of the worst kind of traitor. ?One who not only turns on his friends but on his entire race as he barters his own twisted life for the sadistic pleasure the Crossed take in murdering the non-infected.
But most striking of all is the presence of the alpha-Crossed, Smokey. ?In a very short number of issues this physically imposing and focused monster has become a fan favorite among the growing list of Crossed personalities. ?With his ability to delay gratification, this nightmare creature could indeed spell the end for a world trying to survive the homicidal lunatics that now populate it.
Crossed: Badlands continues to deliver Garth Ennis’ visceral vision of survival horror. ?Get your copy now before the infection spreads to your local comic shop.
