“Black Cross [Part 1]”

★ 1st appearance — Concrete

"Black Cross [Part 1]" introduces a striking new character in a tense, grounded moment: a disillusioned soldier from the Black Zone Special Operations Unit, Conrad, who turns on his comrades after confronting an old man. Written and illustrated by Chris Warner, the story unfolds with stark intensity, setting up a transformation that leaves the old man witness to a name being born—Black Cross. The cover by Chris Warner captures the weight of that pivotal moment.
