The Collector: Unit 731 #1

Dark Horse opens this chilling historical thriller with a cover that sets an unnerving tone from the first glance — a looming gas-masked skull dominates the blood-red composition, surrounded by suspended silhouetted figures, two close-up faces conveying tension and dread, a group of armed soldiers, and a stark institutional building below that feels unmistakably ominous. A lone suited figure stands at the center of it all, suggesting someone navigating a very dangerous world. Will Conrad, Rod Monteiro, and Marco Lesko bring a grim, cinematic sensibility to this 2022 Dark Horse series that promises dark history and high stakes from its very first issue.
