Justin Jordan, Turning The Walking Dead Into The Crossed

Justin Jordan has been writing the Avatar series Crossed Badlands for a few issues now.

But I think I've just got it.

A couple of women have found a saviour in Sutter, a charismatic action hero who has led them to Haven. Something very different to the world around them.

Hiding from the Crossed behind barbed wire, they have a strong defensive action plan that is keeping them safe. Like a happy family. Working together, creating a nw civilisation and way to survive.

Until today's issue of course, where it all starts to go to hell. And it was reading this scene that I suddenly realised. This wasn't just the normal Crossed, this was The Walking Dead. The barbed wire, the charismatic leader, the family unit, the earnest attempt to make a better world.

But was this all a complete coincidence? Was Sutter really a Rick Grimes analogue, having to do things differently in the world of Crossed?

This was the moment I was sure. When Sutter… loses a hand.

Just like Rick Grimes.

Justin Jordan also writes for Walking Dead studio imprint Skybound on Dead Body Road. Is this his way of paying an affectionate tribute?
