The bloody conclusion of the horror series of the year has too much violence to fit in a normal comic, so this final issue is super-sized! There is nothing left to do but for Cindy and the last of her friends to take the battle to the Crossed. It doesn't go well. Garth Ennis takes no prisoners and offers no hope in the most intense book of his career! Nothing is going right, but this is no fairy tale -- there are no magic cures on the horizon. When civilization crumbles in one terrifying moment; when people are gleefully breaking into unthinkable acts of violence all around you; when everyone you love has died screaming in agony: What do you do? There is no help. There is no hope. There is no escape. There are only the Crossed. This stomach-churning vision is brought to vivid by his partner in crime Jacen Burrows. This nihilistic ninth issue is available with a Regular or Wraparound cover by Burrows as well as a rare Red Crossed Edition by Burrows.

BONUS REVIEW by SHANNA BERRY
It’s been a violent journey for our “heroes”, and I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to such a tragic and brutal series. Burrows artwork is just perfect: delicate and solemn yet intensely fierce. And Ennis really brings it to a close poetically. I cannot wait to read it in its entirety; the trade paperback is going to be a hot item. This heartbreaking post-apocalyptic series is like no other.
