Estancia #2

"Checkpoint 3" delivers a tense, atmospheric descent into psychological unraveling as the survivors of the initial attacks stagger into a merciless desert wasteland. With no water, no clear direction, and the train eerily still, they confront haunting questions—why the halt, whether the next threat comes from within the sands, and what drives the elders to take their own lives. Written by Jihoon Kim, Paul J. DaSilva, and John Nam, and brought to life with stark, expressive art by Sungjae Park (pencils and inks) and bold coloring by Gibong Park, this issue builds dread with quiet precision. The cover, also by Sungjae Park, captures the isolation and heat of the barren expanse.
