Alter Nation: They Hide Hybrids

In this 2020 Dark Horse one-shot, writer and artist Mike Norton introduces a world where hybrid beings—part human, part something else—live in hiding among us. The story follows a young woman who discovers her own hybrid nature and must navigate a society that fears and hunts her kind. Norton’s atmospheric art grounds the speculative premise in a tense, character-driven narrative. This debut issue sets the stage for a series exploring identity, prejudice, and the cost of secrecy.
