Twisted tales master David Hine returns to the grueling world of Garth Ennis’ survival horror Crossed with a story from the early days of the outbreak. When a Japanese mobster’s daughter is trapped at a cosplay convention on C-Day, the criminals learn the hard way that in a Crossed world it doesn’t matter how tough you are…just how fast you run. And Justin Jordan locks us in our nightmares with a visceral tale that takes us to Federal Prison. Jesse Bullock is not a good man, but a very hard man. Down for armed robbery and assault, the only crimes they were able to prove, he has but one good quality: he loves his cousin Otis. When they end up imprisoned at the same jail, Jesse intentionally gets himself denied parole to make sure he's there to protect Otis, who isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. But that job gets much harder when the Crossed spread inside those escape-proof walls! This volume collects issues #71 - 74 of the ongoing Crossed: Badlands series and the Crossed Special 2014.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Simon Spurrier continues to deliver a dire new tale based on the extensive world-building notes from Alan Moore! A few years after the events of the first Crossed +100 arc, Future attempts to prepare the people of Murfreesboro for the horrors she saw. But an exploratory balloon ride to the outlying settlements provides an ominous warning that the relative peace that the surviving humans managed to scrape together has begun to crumble. Every nuance of this series has been inspired by the masterfully detailed outlines of Alan Moore. Several special themed covers continue to enrich the series:
American History X Wraparound - Each of these will depict a specific time in the past hundred years, showing how things have changed and offering a peek at some key events. Each cover will display the year in which it takes place to help build the full picture.
Crossed Wires - The Crossed just don't see or make things the same way a person would, these images celebrate that day-to-day madness.
Disastered - These will show how America has changed since the original Crossed outbreak.
Horrific Homage - What if the Crossed were there from the very beginning of comics? This edition will be an Homage to a great Golden Age cover.
Wishful Fiction - The evolution of science-fiction would have been very different with the Crossed as we show you here!
