Garth Ennis Launches Crossed: Dead Or Alive For Avatar Press' November 2015 Solicitations

Coming from Avatar Press in November 2015… Garth Ennis returns to Crossed for a new two issue mini-series Crossed: Dead Or Alive with Daniel Gete, which is already being filmed as a webisode series, directed by Garth Ennis himself.

Plus there is plenty of Crossed Badlands, Crossed +100, Mercury Heat, God Is Dead and War Stories to go round as well…

CROSSED VOL 14 TPB
$19.99
Cover: Fernando Heinz
Writer: Kieron Gillen
Art: Rafa Ortiz
MR, Color, 160 pages

Kieron Gillen (Uber, Wicked & Devine) takes the horrors of the Crossed back to the ancient past where 75,000 years ago humanity came as close as it has ever come to being purged from the Earth. There were as few as 2000 humans remaining. This is historical fact. Why it came to this is generally blamed on super-volcano Toba causing a minor ice-age. But that's not the full story. That is not the history of the Homo Tortor, i.e. Man The Torturer. This empire before the beginning of time, that sends raiding parties gathering other Homo species and enormous mega-fauna, invented cruelty, refined domination, and perfected killing. And they think their power will last forever. There is no help, there is no hope. There is only the Crossed. This volume collects issues #75 – 80 of the ongoing Crossed: Badlands series. Available in paperback and hardcover editions.
