9.8 Oh Thank Gods out of 10Note: I'm saving that last .2 rating for when this comic gets even better. Here's the promo trailer, in case you need more convincing. Read Full Review

This is a stellar debut issue and it has me longing for July so I can see what shakes out between the two main characters. Overall this was a great read, quick, but containing moment of questioning and genuine interests. Read Full Review

An exciting crime story alongside a reflection of prevalent misogyny in the world today. The bodyswitching is just the cherry on top. Read Full Review

As a 21-page establishing shot, this first issue does a terrific job of showcasing the massive potential of this series, and takes its time in introducing us to the two compelling leads. Beautifully illustrated and with a fresh take on a fairly worn-out trope, Crosswind is a fantastic new series from two creators working in perfect synergy, and I really cant wait to see how it plays out in particular the moment where Cason, in Junes body, meets her dick of a husband. Its gonna be glorious. Read Full Review

This issue surprised me. I had no expectations and the story that Simone and Staggs are telling looks to be a lot of fun, with Staggs' art in particular being a standout. Read Full Review

Crosswind kicks off with quite a bit of excitement and mystery. We get the story of both Cason and Juniper in their lives and these two couldn't be any more different. Which makes the body swap all the more interesting. Read Full Review

I know it's petty to harp on when the book makes such great use of lighting and shadows , but it's what stood out. But not enough to deter me from the book. So I may track down the rest of the series and give it a read. Read Full Review

I would definitely recommend giving Crosswind a read. While most of the first issue is set up for the overarching plot that will occur, there are interesting scenes that entice the reader into reading more and I would say the twist in the end would make anyone wonder how everything will turn out for both of the main characters, since they are both placed in high stakes situations with very little information as to what situations theyre in and what they can do to remedy them. Its a comic that makes you want to read the second issue and a comic worth reading. Read Full Review

Crosswind #1 is everything I hope for from an opening issue, with the creative team giving us solid build-up and a tantalising twist. They also introduce us to two interesting characters, with their polarising lifestyles making the eventual twist all the more intriguing. Read Full Review

Crosswind is a solid setup. One that's familiar but has some solid style to it through what Cat Staggs brings to the table as well as Simone's character work that feels stronger with Juniper than Cason – if only because Cason's story feels so familiar. Stagg's artwork definitely works well for me with a rougher and raw approach that fits perfectly here with some very stylish pieces. I like what's presented here and I can see how nuts it can go, and how humorous it can go, in the coming issues. Crosswind is definitely one to keep an eye out for and one that I'm putting on my trade-watch list as I get the feeling it's going to click better for me in larger chunks than monthly installments.

Crosswind is a clever, black-comedy that uses its premise to set up an arc for two uniquely interesting characters. It skilfully balances to darker elements with moments of levity and stunning character work that leaves the reader thoroughly empathetic. In the end, we are left with a tantalizing question: which one of our protagonists was more relieved by their switcheroo. This book doesn't need cliff-hangers to get you hooked, all it needs is your time and it certainly deserves it. Read Full Review

Nice twist at the end. Crosswind looks to be quite interesting and maybe have some humor in the odd encounters to come. Read Full Review

Crosswinds #1 does an excellent job of presenting an interesting premise with some interesting characters, while the art is nothing exceptional it does it's job and justifies its place alongside Simone's excellent script. Read Full Review

'Crosswind' is off to a rip-roaring start. It's taken what you'd expect from a swapping bodies plot and mucked it up in a violent vengeful way. Simone and Staggs have in essence punched out from their corporate jobs and entered an underground fight club, dipped their wrapped fists in broken glass ready to deliver a knock-out punch to the throat. 'Crosswind' is a definite knock-out. I can't wait to see what happens next. Read Full Review

This premiere issue of Crosswind is a sign of great things to come from Staggs and Simone. The book has style, violence, action, and a story that makes you feel uncomfortable in a good way. The pages are filled with two characters that are both easy to relate to and easy to feel sorry for. The book could have taken the easily predictable way out, with a story about a man of action finding common ground with a housewife, but instead, this story is honest, smart, and brave. This book will surely winover an audience; it demands your attentions and emotional investment from page one and will surely keep it throughout the series. Read Full Review

Crosswind #1 is not perfect by any means. But it is an excellent start to a story that Im already engaged with, and thats more than enough. Read Full Review

All in all, I enjoyed the first installment of Crosswind, and I look seeing how each of our protagonists handle their predicament. Read Full Review

This is definitely an issue that demands multiple readings to be fully appreciated. The first time around, the narrative feels a bit jumbled, as it's not at all clear how the two plot threads and their respective protagonists are connected. But once this issue establishes its Freaky Friday-esque twist, the pieces click into place. Read Full Review

All set up to the chaos that's soon to follow these two characters, but does more than enough to get you on board with where it wants to go. Read Full Review

Crosswind has promise with a lot of great avenues to travel down. Every mystery has no clear answer or hint of how it will eventually be solved. How well this premise will work is still unclear and much will be learned in the second issue. For now, Staggs and Simone give us a lot to be excited for. Read Full Review

With this premiere issue Simone does a good job at introducing the two main characters’ differing personalities and the stakes they leave behind when they switch bodies. Crosswind #1 is a slow set-up, but leaves the reader with a lot of potential as the series enters its exciting incident at the end of the issue. Read Full Review

Despite some VERY serious problems with panel layouts, I really enjoyed this issue of Crosswind. I usually love whatever Gail Simone is doing and "Abused Housewife body swaps with Hitman" is an idea right up my alley. I'm looking forward to see where things go from here, and this issue gets a strong recommendation provided you get past the art problems. Read Full Review

Crosswind has an intriguing, original premise with unique art, but the experiments just don't pan out. Read Full Review

Good stuff! Will be back for issue 2 and highly recommend picking up issue 1.
