Crossed: Badlands #83

The bridge survivors might be beyond the grasp of the vile Crossed, but they're not out of the twisted murders' sight. Led by "The Surgeon" and her crew, an alliance of Crossed practice their torturous ways in plain view of the survivors, and the constant barrage of horror begins to form cracks in the once solid affiliation of the uninfected. But the survivors have even more to worry them, as Morgan and Olivia reveal that their zombie survival guide proves that the practices the group have employed could spell their doom if immediate changes aren't implemented.Available with Regular Cover by Christian Zanier, Wraparound Cover by Nahuel Lopez, Torture Cover by Raulo Caceres, C-Day Worldwide Cover by German Nobile, Art Deco Cover by Michael Dipascale, and Red Crossed Incentive Cover also by Zanier.

Crossed +100 #7

A new chapter in Alan Moore's future Crossed world begins here with his hand-picked successor – Simon Spurrier! Based on the vast world-building notes from Alan Moore, the author of Crossed: Wish You Were Here continues the dystopian narrative based 100 years after C-Day. After the shocking revelations and atrocities of last issue, Future had to make some hard choices.
