"Run for Your Death" kicks off in The Unexpected #131 with English horror star Elliot Smathers spiraling as he grapples with terrifying lapses in memory—waking to blood on his hands, with no recollection of the night before. Is his mind unraveling, or is his agent orchestrating a sinister plan to break him? Jim Mooney’s moody art and Pat Gordon’s tight lettering bring a creeping dread to this psychological thriller, while Nick Cardy’s cover captures the unsettling intensity of a man haunted by his own shadow.
