Absolute Zero

In this claustrophobic, three-issue science-fiction thriller from German publisher Splitter Verlag, writer Richard Marazano and artist Christophe Bec plunge readers into a frozen, post-apocalyptic world where a lone survivor must navigate a landscape of isolation and dwindling hope. The series, co-written with Monja Reichert, uses Bec's stark, detailed artwork to amplify the tension of a man trapped not only by the elements but by the ghosts of his own past. A compact, atmospheric tale that captures the chilling vastness of its setting, Absolute Zero stands as a stark example of European genre comics at their most visually arresting.
