Der Große Reset

A quietly unsettling graphic novel from Reprodukt, Der Große Reset is the debut by German cartoonist Ika Sperling. The series, which began in 2024, explores the psychological aftermath of a mysterious global event that resets society, focusing on the intimate, surreal consequences for its characters. Sperling’s work is notable for its restrained, atmospheric linework and a narrative that prioritizes mood and ambiguity over spectacle. This single-issue series marks a promising entry in contemporary European comics, offering a thoughtful, low-key take on the post-apocalyptic genre.
