Crossed's gorn art is pretty much its signature, and its definetly off putting, to the point that this reader usually just skips over the gorier parts. Rather, what makes the series worth reading are the stories, which are surprisingly entertaining. Its true that the whole Humans Are the Monsters moral of zombie fiction has been done to death, and Crossed doesnt really add anything new, its just more of it, but its well written more of it, which is good enough for me. Especially entertaining are some of the characters, such as the main characters from Yellow Belly, Shrink and The Livers, who all have some underlying uniqueness.
DEFINETLY not for everyone, I'm not even sure I can recommend it exactly, but I've personally found a bit of entertainment in it.
Not Bad, for What it Is
