Crossed: Badlands sees Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows return to the franchise-series they started, with a tale about love lost. Set in the highlands and lowlands of the Scotish Isle, the story opens with a group foraging for food and trying to stay ahead of a group of Crossed. Badlands is told through the narration of Ian, a bookshop worker. Ian tells us how tragically he lost his wife, Penny, while in a town.

Badlands group of misfits consists of a pregnant girl and her boyfriend, a paramedic and a young man with a bandaged face who may or may not be Prince Harry. Ian laments about the pregnant girl forshadowing a tragedy to come later in the series.

It's not conventional to review a web-comic in a new releases list like this one, but I intend to make an exception for this one.

BE WARNED: This series is not for the faint of heart, it's meant for MATURE/ADULT readers and could be scarring to your psyche if horror and the unthinkable are not your cup of tea!

Crossed has been, since its terrifying and disturbing beginning, one of the most gruesome, brutal and in-your-face horror comics I've ever seen and every successive mini-series in the franchise has taken that first step by super-scribe Garth Ennis to heart and built fresh nightmares on top. Soon we have a new mini-series coming out title Badlands by a returning Ennis as we bid David Lapham – who has been helming this franchise for a while now – a thankful goodbye, but in the meantime this FREE web-series was a nice little surprise that almost slipped under the radar.
