I maintain that some of the Crossed comics have artistic merit. Some. Soooome.
Old mate Garth only wrote the first run and some parts of the later stuff. His initial run is solid enough, assuming you have the stomach for it and don’t find gore distasteful.
Crossed: Wish you Were Here (aa free webcomic not written by Garth) is actually solid but also it has (cw: necrophilia)
Plus One-hundred would be interesting because of the linguistics Moore was playing with that would make sense to hear vs. read. The miniseries also explored rehabilitation of the infected, even if there isn’t a cure. It’s similar to I Am Legend with its original ending.
It would probably be better to write something from the ground up, seperate from the Crossed franchise. The kind of people who would enjoy seeing…that…are also the kind of people who wouldn’t be interested in how language changes, the moral implications of the inherently evil, how that affects people not inherently evil, rebuilding civilization because it’s not the first time humanity has experienced an apocalypse, etc.
I completely agree wrt +100, unfortunately I doubt there’s funding for a sort of “dropping you in the middle/aftermath of the story” concept movie.
But in another world that’d probably be the best and only way to truly adapt anything in the Crossed universe. Zombie apocalypse is already well-understood by everyone in the audience, so a 5-10 minute montage showing the event and explaining the rules, then fast forward to the good shit.

A nun fucking herself with a severed arm.
So its a mixed bag.
