Wrap Cover by Jacen Burrows. Written by Simon Spurrier. Art by Gabriel Andrade. Simon Spurrier and Gabriel Andrade celebrate five years of CROSSED with the first ever giant-sized Special! How do you commemorate a half-decade of GARTH ENNIS' violent masterpiece? By creating a story that goes beyond the surface misery of the gleeful Crossed maniacs and reaching into the fragile human psyche with something truly terrifying. Todd drives a road train through the desolate Australian outback. Before C-day he was a loser, an outcast, a fat nobody with a nobody-job. Now he's an Emperor of the wasteland. His rig and its trailers are the safest place around: stocked to the brim with canned food and gasoline. But his desire to have a harem who worship him opens himself up to the true horrors of the outback. Spurrier brings his trademark flare for developing intricately flawed characters to a story that will haunt your dreams for years to come. In a world of Crossed...there is no hope and there is no help. There is only the Crossed.

#1 - 6
The new Impact Era begins...in CRUCIBLE #1. The Crusaders have vanished, and 17-year-old Nate Cray (the Black Hood) receives a vision of the future from an enigmatic tribune calling itself the Tomorrow Men - images of an evil, deadly Comet, now devoid of humanity and posing the greatest threat the world has ever known. With the remaining Crusaders missing, no power on Earth may be able to stop the corrupt Comet. Compelled to assume the mantle of Earth's protector, Cray leaves behind the life he has known as he sets out in search of a man the world has long presumed dead - racing against a countdown to impending doom.
CRUCIBLE chronicles eight turbulent years in the lives of three Impact heroes: The Shield, the Black Hood and the Comet. The cataclysmic circumstances that draw them together result in startling, unexpected changes for the Impact Universe, as each hero grapples with the vast changes in the world...and in themselves!
