It is one week until the annual event where the ravenous fans of Garth Ennis’ extreme horror series, Crossed, don their best costumes and storm local comic shops. ?C-Day is in its third year and has grown into an opportunity for fans to introduce new readers to the most horrifying stories being told in the medium.
Garth Ennis created Crossed six years ago as a new world that took the tropes of survival horror to a violent extreme. ?Populated by “infected” that become uninhibited homicidal maniacs, Crossed tells the often disturbing story of people trying to survive in a world gone mad. ?Be warned – this series is not for the squeamish and takes the idea of grueling horror to a new level.
The ongoing bi-weekly series, Crossed: Badlands is an anthology that tells stories in the same universe from different creators. ?In addition to Ennis we’ve seen stories by creators like David Lapham, David Hine, Simon Spurrier, Christos Gage, Daniel Way, and many others. ?And on Wednesday 3/26 amid the celebrations at comic shops the first installment of Garth Ennis’ long awaited “patient zero” arc begins with Crossed: Badlands #50.
Be sure to check with your local comic shop to see what they are doing for the event and to find out what everyone has been waiting six years to know…how it all began!
