: The virus "turns off" human morality and restraint.
In a world where a mysterious phenomenon known as "The Crossed" has devastated the globe, a select few have been chosen to embark on a perilous journey. These individuals, afflicted with a strange, skull-like mark on their foreheads, are imbued with extraordinary abilities. They are drawn to a safe haven known as "The Hub," a fabled sanctuary where the Crossed can find solace and potentially uncover the truth behind their condition.
The original 10-issue limited series centers on a global pandemic where the infected (the "Crossed") retain their intelligence but lose all moral restraint, indulging in murder, torture, and sexual violence.
