Sacrificed to the Shark Clan

In Sacrificed to the Shark Clan (2025–present), Tokyopop launches a taut, self-contained horror-fantasy one-shot from writer and artist Kit Trace. The story plunges readers into a coastal village's grim tradition of offering a human sacrifice to appease a predatory shark clan, only for a defiant victim to upend the ritual's brutal rules. This debut issue establishes Trace's moody, visceral art and a premise that twists the "monster as antagonist" trope into something more complex and unsettling. It's a compact, atmospheric entry from the publisher's contemporary lineup, notable for its lean storytelling and immediate world-building.
