Nailbiter

Edward Warren is a notorious serial killer known as the Nailbiter, named for his gruesome habit of biting off victims' fingernails. He hails from Buckaroo, Oregon — a town mysteriously responsible for producing an extraordinary number of serial killers — and becomes the reluctant key to unlocking that dark secret.

Born from the darkly imaginative minds of Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson, Nailbiter burst onto the Modern Age scene in 2014 as the chilling centerpiece of Image Comics' acclaimed horror series — a book that immediately signaled it had something genuinely unsettling to say. Across a run that also spawned crossover territory with Hack/Slash, this character haunts the same pages as Edward Warren, Nicholas Finch, Sheriff Crane, and Agent Abigail Barker, a cast that crackles with tension and dread. If you're a fan of horror comics that commit fully to their atmosphere, Nailbiter #1 is exactly the kind of debut worth hunting down — a true product of Image's fearless modern era.
