Britannia

Set in ancient Rome, Valiant Entertainment’s Britannia (2016–present) reimagines history as a supernatural horror series. Written by Peter Milligan with visceral art by Juan José Ryp, the four-issue story follows the empire’s first detective, a legionary tasked with solving mysteries that defy rational explanation. It matters for its gritty, psychological take on the detective genre, blending historical detail with unsettling otherworldly dread.
