Description

A global outbreak has turned the populace to homicidal maniacs... but some people were just born evil.  The surviving members of the Pratt family are about to confront the evil within themselves. In one terrifying moment, civilization crumbled.  An outbreak of insanity swept across the planet, turning millions of people into the homicidal maniacs known as "the Crossed."  But from their isolated horse ranch, the Pratt family of North Carolinaremain uninfected and defiant.  Bonded together show more as generations of working, living, and learning together, they rely on Joe, the family patriarch, to see them through the apocalypse.  But the Pratt family has a deep, dark secret - one that threatens to tear them apart, even under the constant threat of the murderous hordes.  See, some men are turned to Crossed, but others... others are just born evil.  Eighteen year-old daughter Adaline will soon discover which breed is worse.  David Lapham, the critically acclaimed creator of the gritty STRAY BULLETS series, delivers a tale so twisted, so shocking, it more than earns its place next to the original runaway bestseller, CROSSED VOLUME 1, by superstar writer Garth Ennis! show less

The Pratt Family is showcased in this volume. While taking on massive amounts of Crossed, an iron fisted father clamps his loved ones down with his twisted version of God fearing worship. This was another crazy edition. While you can pretty easily connect the dots, it falls right in line with what I expect from Crossed.
Crossed missed the boat on torture porn gross-out extreme violence genre. Its been done better, and earlier, elsewhere.

This is slightly more compelling than the volume Psychopath that followed it. But overall, the same issues are found here.

(I know they aren't technically zombies. But the series embraces every. single. trope. found in the 'fast zombies' subgenre, so I'm just gonna toss it in with that category.)
