Crossed: Wish You Were Here: Volume 1: Wish You Were Here by Simon Spurrier.
From the creative and unflinching mind of Simon Spurrier, Crossed: Wish You Were Here is a unique and acclaimed entry into the brutal world of the Crossed comic series. While the main Crossed narrative often focuses on the relentless, frantic flight from the infected, this series takes a different, more character-driven approach. It follows Shaky, a former comic book writer who has found a tenuous, temporary sanctuary on a remote island off the coast of Scotland. Here, he and a small group of survivors attempt to build a new community, clinging to the illusion of safety and a semblance of normal life. Volume 1 delves into the fraught dynamics of this small-scale society, exploring the internal strife, psychological pressures, and moral decay that can emerge even when the immediate threat of the Crossed is seemingly at bay.
As Shaky chronicles his new life in diary entries, the narrative is punctuated by harrowing flashbacks of his escape from the fall of London. This stark contrast between the relatively “peaceful” island and the horrifying carnage of the mainland highlights the central theme of the series: in a world overrun by sadistic, homicidal maniacs, there is no true sanctuary. The volume explores what it means to be human in a world where humanity has been stripped of its kindness and civility. Wish You Were Here is not just a story of survival against external monsters, but a deep, introspective look at the monsters that lie within, and the agonizing realization that hope is a fragile, fleeting commodity in a world irrevocably stained by the Crossed.
