Red Before Black

Red Before Black (2025–present, Boom! Studios) is a taut, single-issue horror comic that hinges on a simple but chilling premise: a man receives a mysterious package containing a videotape of his own death, which is set to occur in one week. Written and drawn by Sloane Leong, the series explores themes of fate, memory, and the inescapable pull of the past through its stark, moody artwork. This debut issue marks the start of a compact, self-contained story that leverages the full potential of the one-shot format to deliver a tight, atmospheric thriller.
