After the video, the group hears noises. They assume it is the Crossed. Guns are drawn. The tension is unbearable. But the threat does not come from outside. Barnaby—the loud, seemingly stable teenager—has had a psychological break. Unbeknownst to the others, he was scratched earlier (the virus can be transmitted through any fluid). The rash has bloomed across his face while they watched the tape.

Crossed +100 #1 is less about the jump scare and more about the creeping realization that humanity never learns. It’s a bleak, literary punch to the gut wrapped in a horror comic.

In fact, Alan Moore’s Crossed +100 takes place 100 years after the infection, but even he pays homage to Ennis’s opening salvo. The trauma of is the ghost that haunts the entire universe.

Here are some of the things that make Crossed +100 such a great comic:

. It is widely regarded as one of the most disturbing and visceral titles in mainstream comics due to its graphic depiction of "pure evil". Narrative & Premise

Moore has created a rich and detailed world for Crossed +100. The survivors' language, culture, and history are all well-thought-out and believable.

Crossed #1 introduced a terrifying deviation. The "Crossed" are not mindless. They do not eat flesh for sustenance. They are infected with a virus that removes all moral inhibition, all societal conditioning, and all empathy, leaving behind only the urge to perform the most depraved, violent, and hedonistic acts imaginable. The name comes from the cross-shaped rash that appears on their faces, a brand marking them as agents of chaos.

This is the most important question. is not for everyone. It is not "fun." It is not "exciting" in the traditional sense. It is a thesis statement on human depravity. If you are triggered by sexual violence, extreme gore, or child harm, do not read this comic . There is no catharsis here.
