Crossed/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fridge Horror: Invoked. What happens when the people we trust the most--our parents, our children, people we depend on for safety--go completely off the rails?
    • In another sense, a comment near the end that what the Crossed do isn't anything that ordinary humans aren't capable of. That's scary as hell.
  • Fridge Logic: If Garth Ennis meant this as a Take That (see below) to people who believe they could survive a Zombie Apocalypse, why didn't he use actual zombies? The Crossed aren't any kind of zombie at all, but something completely different.
    • Because the average Garth Ennis protagonist, i.e. Cindy, would be in about as much danger during an actual zombie apocalypse as you are during a particularly rowdy soccer game. She'd hand out two thousand clean headshots and go put Patrick down for a nap.
