    Crossed. I’m actually concerned. Crossed is awful. I mean I loved it, but I don’t see how it could be put in front of anyone and not be considered smut.

      I also read some of that and I agree. It’s totally off the rails in terms of shock value. I can’t imagine they would try to go even close to as intense as the comic cause it would be even more disturbing in live action.

        Can you imagine the actors taking direction? “In this scene you’ve just given birth and you’re goimg to use the newborn to bludgeon these other folks…”

        Haven’t read it, but it’s about an apocalyptic scenario where normal people turn into absolute psychopaths. The Asian movie The Sadness has a similar premise.

        There are different story lines, but the world is one where there is an infection that basically damages the parts of people’s brains that are responsible for morality. They can think and talk, but there is zero impulse control. Lots of rape and murder. It’s pretty fucked. I didn’t read all of what’s out there but what I did read was bleak at best.

        It usually follows a small group of survivors a la walking dead.
