New This Week: CROSSED: BADLANDS #15

Posted on October 10, 2012 by Avatar Press

David Hine (Night of the Living Dead: Aftermath, Spawn) continues a lesson in horror that you won?t be able to forget with this week’s?Crossed: Badlands #15!

The Crossed have invaded ?Stumptown? and if you thought the population had a problem with amputations before, they have a new level of separation anxiety with the Crossed applying their zealous brand of random bloody violence!? While the students of the Creative Writing Retreat attempt to act out their true personalities according to the reclusive writer Gideon Wells, they soon find out that make believe transcendence is nothing compared to the release of the inner self that the Crossed disease brings with it.? Blood and horror are your only companions when a horde of monsters force you to face the true nature locked within each of us.

Available with a Regular or Torture cover by Raulo Caceres a Wraparound by Oscar Jimenez,? and a special Red Crossed Incentive by Burrows.

Nothing is sacred to these two scallywags and if you think a little holiday cheer is going to have them singing Silent F@#king Night, you got another thing coming. Join Garth Ennis and John McCrea in an exercise in obscenity that will forever taint your yuletide memories.
