Awake

In Awake (2015–present, Action Lab Comics), writer and artist Brian Hess crafts a tense, eight-issue series where a mysterious event leaves a small group of people unable to sleep, forcing them to confront a waking nightmare that blurs the line between reality and hallucination. This compact, self-contained story stands out for its claustrophobic atmosphere and Hess’s singular creative vision, making it a notable entry in Action Lab’s catalog of creator-driven horror.
