Crossed/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Bile Fascination: A driving force of the appeal of the book, although quite a few people still turned away from it.
  • Complete Monster:
    • Addy Pratt's father has been raping his younger daughters for what may have been years as "Family Values" starts. He has enough leadership and charisma to keep a very large group of survivors together in the months after the emergence of the Crossed, but he does so through turning the settlement into a religious cult with himself as its messiah.
    • Pretty much all of the Crossed are like this, given the chance.
    • Harold from Psychopath seems to want to sink to the level of the Crossed, especially as of issue #3.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • Though the comic is undeniably visceral and horrifying, the entire concept of Horsecock is pretty funny in a dark sort of way.
    • The scene where the Crossed put on a song and dance routine, singing "We Could Have Been Anything" from Bugsy Malone.
  • Memetic Mutation: HORSECOCK!
  • Nightmare Fuel: If the Gorn doesn't get to you, the relentless bleakness and what people do to survive will.
