Azza the Barbed

In the surreal, blood-soaked world of 2022's Azza the Barbed from Scout Comics, a warrior cursed with living blades for hair carves a path through a bizarre fantasy landscape. Across its five-issue run, artist Rio Burton brings a visceral, kinetic energy to this darkly comic tale of survival and identity. A distinctive entry in modern indie comics, it stands out for its grotesque creativity and unflinching visual storytelling.
