Gloria Victis

In this taut, four-issue miniseries from Splitter Verlag (2015–2020), a lone survivor navigates a post-apocalyptic wasteland where hope is as scarce as resources. Writer and artist Victor L. Pinel crafts a stark, visually driven tale of endurance and moral compromise, eschewing grand heroics for a quiet, brutal examination of what it means to keep going when civilization has collapsed. The series stands out for its restrained, atmospheric storytelling and its refusal to soften the harsh realities of its world.
