Rotten

A nine-issue series from Moonstone, Rotten (2009–2010) is a horror-tinged crime saga set in a decaying, supernatural version of the American heartland. The story follows a small-town sheriff investigating a series of gruesome murders that may be linked to a legendary, monstrous creature known as the "Rotten." Written by Mark Powers with art by various hands, the series blends gritty police procedural with folk horror, exploring themes of corruption and the darkness lurking beneath a community's surface. It stands as a notable, if brief, example of Moonstone's willingness to publish original, creator-driven horror comics during that era.
