Mayday

In Mayday (2015–present, Black Mask Studios), a young woman returns to her decaying hometown to find it eerily transformed into a militarized quarantine zone, where a mysterious airborne threat forces residents into brutal survival mode. This taut four-issue series, guided by writer Curt Pires and artist Mark Dos Santos, blends social commentary with claustrophobic sci-fi horror, capturing the dread of a community unraveling under unseen pressures. It stands as a sharp, compact entry from Black Mask Studios’ early wave of politically charged indie comics.
