"The only comments that have ever bothered me were the ones from people who assumed we were just trying to be gratuitous without any deeper purpose. The very nature of the comic medium requires a lot of investment on the part of the reader and I can understand how some readers might not look deeper than the surface but that certainly doesn't mean there isn't a lot under there." -- Jacen Burrows

"Some of this stuff runs pretty close to or even past what I assumed were my own limits. It's not butchery for the sake of it-- a typical issue of 'Crossed' will contain relatively few extreme images or incidents, perhaps only one or two (but they will be pretty far out there). What I'm attempting to do is temper the slaughter with a good deal of character development; I'm trying to show people hanging onto their humanity as well as their lives. Just barely and by their fingernails, of course." -- Garth Ennis

"A lot of what I do seems extreme in comparison with other comics — which, given that the industry staple is still superheroes, are mostly going to seem that bit more restrained. But compare my work to some of the current stuff in TV or movies, and all of a sudden I’m not quite that far out there." -- Garth Ennis

As a warning, "The Slavers" (specifically the later issues) deals with sexual slavery. To Ennis' credit it's taken very seriously but it's still raw reading.
