This is a big week for Avatar Press with six books hitting the shelves including Crossed +100 #1 by Alan Moore and the wrap up of Extinction Parade: War by Max Brooks. You also have David Lapham on Crossed: Badlands, Justin Jordan on Dark Gods, Kieron Gillen on Uber and Garth Ennis on War Stories… That's an amazing group of writers.

Crossed +100 #1

Alan Moore returns to monthly comics in epic fashion with Crossed+100! Set 100 years in the future, Moore has created a whole new world and history with a stunning attention to detail. Examining how civilizations rebuild and how generations grow, Moore weaves a rich tapestry of humanity evolving under extreme hardship, all of which is lushly rendered by Gabriel (Ferals) Andrade. Archivist Future Taylor leads a salvage team working to rebuild the historical record of the original Crossed outbreak. She's seen them in videos, but never any live ones, the Crossed are part of the distant past. Until suddenly, a handful appear, and the blood begins to flow. All is not as it seems as a horrific mystery unfolds and once again Alan Moore redefines the medium.

Crossed: Badlands #67

David Lapham delivers a violent and bloody tale of revenge that can't be quelled. When a man's world and family are systematically destroyed in front of him, something snaps inside. And once that dam holding back the insanity is gone, he is capable of anything. Now his sole purpose is make the man that wrecked his world suffer. And the Crossed are just another obstacle to overcome on the way to revenge.
