Supermarket #1

In the shadowed underbelly of the City, where convenience stores double as front lines and the Yakuza clash with the Porno Swede crime family, 16-year-old Pella Suzuki—just a clerkette with a sharp tongue and a knack for sarcasm—finds her quiet life upended. Suddenly thrust into a power struggle she never asked for, she’s the unexpected heir to an empire neither side is willing to let her walk away from. Written by Brian Wood and brought to life with bold, textured art by Kristian Donaldson, this issue’s cover by Donaldson captures the tension of a world where every transaction carries a price.
