Paknadel & Trakhanov's Turncoat

A tense, four-issue sci-fi thriller from Boom! Studios, Turncoat (2016–present) follows a professional "grief merchant" who can transfer traumatic memories from one person to another—a service that becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy. Writer Alex Paknadel and artist Artyom Trakhanov craft a moody, philosophical story that explores the commodification of pain and the cost of emotional escape. Its tight, noir-tinged narrative and striking, atmospheric art make it a standout in modern psychological science fiction.
