Crossed: Psychopath #4 of 6\\u2028
David Lapham continues to spin his seven-issue tale of pure evil! The band of survivors Harold Lorre has connected with begin to unravel as they are picked off and meet horrific fates. But no one suspects that Lorre himself might be a greater danger than the clans of Crossed they are hiding from. Lorre might be the most evil man alive, but also one of the craftiest. Join us as Lapham and artist Raulo (Capt Swing) Caceres descend into a story about the worst aspects of human behavior, a tale of unspeakable evils, violent assaults on both mind and body, and of longing for death and the sweet release it will bring. 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.\\n
