Hexed

In this 2008–2009 four-issue series from Boom! Studios, writer Michael Alan Nelson and artist Emma Ríos introduced a supernatural thief whose heists into a world of enchanted artifacts come with a price. The story follows a young woman navigating a shadowy realm of occult relics and dangerous debts, blending crime noir with dark fantasy. Ríos’s expressive, moody artwork gave the book a distinctive visual identity, marking an early showcase of her talent in American comics. Hexed matters as a tight, atmospheric mini-series that helped establish Boom! as a home for creator-driven genre storytelling.
