Cross 1-6  (1995 Dark Horse)
 
I needed an amoral protagonist, the better to illuminate the amorality of the world around him. Cross is a mercenary, but his crew is no A-Team. A man without a country, Cross is also a man without boundaries. He has no higher sense of honor, no “code,” no loyalty to anything but “getting it done.” A remorseless assassin (“White Alligator”), Cross’s trademark is working the middle, betraying both the paymaster and the victim. Hence his name. “Value Received” is a good example. Even when confronted with the worst evil on this planet (the kiddie-porn creator in “Cripple”), Cross is as detached as an exterminator. And although he is a master tactician (“Mad Dog”), his core is utter simplicity: he is a man for hire … any other job description is meaningless.
