Nuclear War

A short-lived but striking series from New England Comics, Nuclear War (2001–present) presents a grim, satirical vision of global annihilation through the lens of its two published issues. Best known for its connection to the publisher's larger, cult-favorite The Tick universe, the series is notable for its darkly comedic take on Cold War anxieties and the absurdity of mutually assured destruction. Though it never continued beyond its initial run, it remains a curious artifact of early-2000s independent comics, showcasing the publisher's willingness to explore bleak, genre-twisting narratives.
