Murciélago

A darkly comedic German series from Carlsen Comics, Murciélago (2017–present) follows a ruthless female assassin who is spared execution to become a government-sanctioned killer, tasked with taking down other dangerous criminals. Over 21 issues, the series blends ultraviolent action with deadpan humor, driven by its unapologetically chaotic protagonist and her unconventional partnership with a naive young policewoman. The work is most closely associated with its creator, whose sharp, kinetic artwork and pitch-black storytelling have made it a standout in the modern European crime-comedy landscape.
