Crossed Badlands #8 Wraparound Cover by Jacen Burrows
First things first, I want to give a shout out to both Inter-Comics and Avatar Comics! Good day to you nerds and babes, James M. Clark here from Guelph, Ontario, Canada and this is my first time writing a review for Inter-Comics.
Down to business: Jamie Delano (Hellblazer, Dr. Who, and Captain Britain) and Leandro Rizzo produced my favourite comic last week and I’m itching for the next issue. For all you Walking Dead fans out there I would be so bold as to say Crossed kicks Walking Dead’s ass pretty hard, even with Walking Dead’s #100 coming up. Why? Because Crossed boasts the intense combination of Rizzo and Delano. Delano writes impeccable horror and is a seasoned vet, having written Hellblazer some 20 years ago and only gotten better since. Rizzo’s art lends itself well to Delano’s dark, twisted and funny as hell story with some brutal violent, gory imagery and T n’ A thrown in to boot. If you like Walking Dead but you need a bit more violence and gore, pick up Crossed Badlands #8 today!
Crossed Badlands #8 is the penultimate chapter in Jamie Delano‘s six-issue “Homo Superior,” with the next issue, #9 bringing the events of Delano’s run to a close. Gregory, Steve, Leon, Ashley and Ashlynne have made their way further through the Florida Everglades, having to fight off Crossed Hordes along the way. One, or two, or maybe three or four of them will die! Will they become the Crossed? Who will survive? Who’s going to be left standing for issue 9, the big finale?
Who will survive? Who’s going to be left standing for issue 9, the big finale?
Starting in issue #10, David Lapham (Stray Bullets, Ferals, Dan the Unharmable, Deadpool MAX) will begin his run on the Crossed series, following his previous Crossed 3 and Crossed 3D. Avatar Comics has confirmed they have the first 50 issues of the series plotted via Twitter and that they have a roster of amazing talent to bring on past Lapham’s run.
