Outlook Grim

In 2003, Slave Labor Graphics published the six-issue series Outlook Grim, a darkly comedic exploration of a world where death is a bureaucratic, dead-end job. Written and drawn by J. Marc Schmidt, the story follows a grim reaper who is as tired and disillusioned as the souls he collects, blending existential angst with workplace satire. The series stands out for its sharp, melancholic humor and its thoughtful take on mortality, earning a cult following among fans of offbeat independent comics.
