Medea

In this 2024 Dark Horse series, writer and artist Cliff Chiang reimagines the myth of Medea as a contemporary horror-thriller, stripping away the ancient Greek context to explore timeless themes of betrayal and vengeance. The single issue (so far) establishes a stark, modern setting where a woman's supernatural fury erupts after a profound personal betrayal. Chiang's distinctive, moody artwork drives the narrative, making this a visually striking and intimate take on a classic figure. It matters as a bold, creator-owned reclamation of a legendary character by one of modern comics' most acclaimed artist-writers.
