Sloth

In 2008, DC published Sloth, a standalone graphic novel by Gilbert Hernandez—one of the legendary Hernandez brothers of Love and Rockets fame. This single-issue story follows a teen who, after a mysterious coma, awakens with a supernatural slothfulness that alters his life and relationships. Hernandez’s signature, emotionally nuanced storytelling and clean, expressive linework bring a quiet, surreal gravity to this offbeat character study. A unique, introspective entry in DC’s catalog, it showcases Hernandez’s ability to blend slice-of-life drama with a touch of the uncanny.
