Negative Space

In this 2015–2016 Dark Horse miniseries, writer Ryan K. Lindsay and artist Owen Gieni craft a taut four-issue story of a man who can physically extract negative emotions from others—a gift that becomes a curse when he’s drawn into a web of crime and violence. The series stands out for its moody, introspective take on superhero tropes, blending noir atmosphere with Gieni’s expressive, watercolor-infused art. It’s a compact, visually striking meditation on pain, redemption, and the cost of trying to heal a broken world.
