The Cloven

In the near-future world of The Cloven, a young man discovers he is the first of a new human subspecies—one born with cloven hooves—and must navigate a society that fears and exploits what it doesn't understand. Published by Fantagraphics from 2020 to 2025, this three-issue series is defined by Matthew Southworth's moody, expressive artwork, which grounds a thoughtful exploration of identity, prejudice, and what it means to be truly human.
