Garth Ennis’ most disturbing series to date begins with Crossed #0, which will be in stores this week according to our distributor.  CROSSED features the artwork of Ennis’ frequent collaborator, Jacen Burrows, and this will be their first full-on horror series on which they’ve worked together.  ”There is no help. There is no hope. No one is coming to save you. There is no escape. There are no heroes… There is only the CROSSED.”  Be sure to reserve copies at your local comic shop, as this will be one of the biggest series of the year!
