A Calculated Man

In this taut four-issue AfterShock miniseries from 2022–2023, writer Paul Tobin and artist Alberto Alburquerque follow a man whose life is governed by cold, precise mathematics—until a violent encounter forces him to recalculate everything. Blending noir tension with a uniquely analytical protagonist, the series explores how even the most controlled existence can be upended by the chaotic variables of human emotion. It’s a sharp, character-driven thriller that showcases Tobin’s knack for high-concept storytelling and Alburquerque’s moody, expressive art.
