As the Crossed descend on the town, the townies start to realize perhaps Edmund has a good reason to be such a cowardly bitch!
Part two of David Lapham’s “Yellow-Belly” arc continues in Crossed Badlands #11 written by David Lapham with art by Jacen Burrows
The issue opens with Edmund having returned home from the carnival and confessing to his mother and a police officer the brutality he witnessed while at the carnival with his father and brother (both now dead; having fallen victim to the Crossed in issue 10).

Edmund’s yellow-bellied cowardice begins to show even more in this latest issue with a series of events that would test any man’s mettle. However, Edmund’s pant-peeing cowardice isn’t just yellow… it’s downright ‘yella’. As the Crossed descend on the town, the townies start to realize perhaps Edmund has a good reason to be the cowardly bitch that he is and perhaps they could all do with taking a page from his book. One of the guys that gave Edmund such a hard time at school even commends Edmund for this and thanks him for warning them about the plagued legions of Crossed wreaking havoc on the town.

We’re introduced to some more characters from the school Edmund attends and are given their backstory. The events of this issue lead to an epic few final pages with more great art by Burrows and as much pandemonium as readers can handle!

Having a go at a series after Jamie Delano is a tough task for any writer but Lapham has taken the reigns with fervour and delivers some really high-octane story. Jacen Burrows shows more and more that he was meant for the series and I’m really hoping Avatar Press pairs these two again in other Crossed arcs.
