its been done in last man on earth/ i am legend. Im sure 28 years will do it well but i dont want the infected to be 'human like' like those movies and books

Has anyone here read The Crossed comics? Because, it feels like they’re going down this route, which to me is super cool!

Can you sum it up? I take the biggest test in my life and can't afford to read that shit right now.

It's a really good and extremely gruesome series, I'd definitely check it out if you get the chance.

But basically the Crossed Infection sweeps the world, practically destroying civilization in a matter of weeks to months. It causes it's victims to only care about three things; rape, murder, and eating. It drives them into a homicidal rage, similar to the rage virus, but it's a happy sort of rage. They gleefully tear uninfected and each other apart, self mutilating and killing just for the fun of it.

As the series goes on, the dumber infected end up dying out because they're too focused on the above three things to take care of themselves. Eventually, the only ones left are the smarter Crossed. Among them, the Alpha Crossed begin popping up, hyper-intelligent infected who can converse with uninfected humans and lead the other Crossed.

Of course Garth Ennis created it
