* ''ComicBook/{{Crossed}}'' [[note]] Some of the sickest content to ever grace fiction, with every single hideous act of extreme brutality imaginable depicted involving the titular monsters and sometimes even humans subjecting themselves to increasingly morbid and sickening ways to stimulate themselves, be it through [[TorturePorn extreme sado-masochism]], [[BodyHorror self-modification]], [[ExtremeOmnisexual hyper-sexuality]] or [[CruelAndUnusualDeath murdering people in extremely prolonged and convoluted ways]], all depicted in tremendously high levels of visceral, extreme detail. Also, unlike most of Creator/GarthEnnis' work, which implements plenty of BlackComedy, it's all PlayedForHorror here instead, which would make it that much more graphic if it weren't so [[{{Narm}} ridiculous]], [[CrossesTheLineTwice bonkers]] and [[NightmareRetardant overdone]].[[/note]]
