challenging but essential

With the webseries If you saw it connected to France by Panini Comics, writer Simon Spurrier Crossed rose the saga to a level absolutely insane, which was finally, after striking beginnings but too handicapped by a free hardcore provocation, a serious competitor ( in a kind significantly different) of specious Walking Dead.

So, when he saw a parallel series entitled Lands Cursed and signed, among others, by the same creator of Crossed, Garth Ennis, i feared a return back to the time when only the abuses of infected interested authors and illustrators, which violate the most ultimate taboo was one source of inspiration and gore dirty and unhealthy as the sole purpose of the dramatic knots.

Phew. There is nothing nen. This first volume of Cursed Lands (then quon still waiting for the second If you saw that, I know, this is a bit complicated) consists of two stories, moon set in the Scottish Highlands, the other in the Florida Everglades and if Both take up the classical scheme (and inevitable?) of the group of survivors hounded by degenerate rapists-sadistic cannibals-in flowery language, it is clear that "the effect Spurrier" worked, the characters, whether in Garth's story Ennis or that of Jacen Burrows, finally took sufficient psychological dimension for lon vibrates, shakes and feel strong emotions when reading their (my) apocalyptic and barbaric adventures.

If Cursed Lands (which gives its title to lanthologie) is, despite its effectiveness, its blackness and as relevant as terrifying approach absolute légoïsme becomes ours only when our survival account, average in its development with excavated characters but already crossed (though the idea of ​​Prince Harry potential is just amazing !!), Homo Superior by contrast, offers a completely new variation Crossed universe, both in its construction (off a clever voice that prevents us from determining which of the characters will be the "main" and makes us attach ourselves well at all) than its decorations (the sweltering sweaty Everglades marshes makes undress the body both tired, wounded but still sexed) or the incredible gallery of the protagonists which we discover .

All are also endearing and fascinating by their moral ambiguity, whether the twins and their relationship dune maddening (and exciting) or perversity Leon, who cooks for his methamphetamine Nazi rednecks band led by his father, pulverize all the borders of Good and Evil and I adore this dangerous and gray area in which the author leads us where our landmarks are distorted, obsolete and useless, because it provides a more pleasing thrill any history with well-defined moral boundaries, it is not in "and which he did there, or you condemn it? "But in the" and you, your course you would not do the same? "And it confronts us with ourselves, to our own judgment, everything by which we like to define and could shatter if everything what one regards as" our "universe invaded saw people without inhibition, without "locks" social, whose sole purpose in their existence lobotomized pressed to nab us for rape us to death before cutting into pieces for us Barbeuk ..

These wonderfully crafted characters, there is an absolute Doeuvre leader, probably the most prominent figure in the saga, Steve, sort of sexually aggressive bimbo, but ultra hot Tankee as Amélie Mauresmo, a former GI converted in security, which practiced abject torture in Iraqi prisons but who do not meet more than his victims, forgetting his dignity in orgy wild and shabby, and in a world that has descended into violence became his only reference, will be confronted with the most insane situations that Steve could ever consider: motherhood.

His fate, obviously radical and Completion endian (it would not be in Crossed otherwise), results in the highest adventure, the most challenging and most traumatic mait that he was given to read comics for a long time, remarkable designs and Leandro Rizzo fabulous dialogues Jacen Burrows, protruding far beyond anything that the saga could cause jusquici in terms of thrills and absolute dimmersion in the horror more visceral.

With two series in parallel and provided to maintain this level décriture, graphics, Crossed could simposer as THE greatest horror adventure now in production.

Do not put in any hands but essential for any amateur of experience 100% human amoral and who knows to ask the questions which we would never have to provide answers.
