The Dark & Bloody

In 2016, DC Comics launched this moody, six-issue miniseries from writer Shawn Aldridge and artist Scott Godlewski, a Southern Gothic horror tale set in the haunted hills of Kentucky. It follows a troubled Iraq War veteran who returns home to confront a violent family legacy and a supernatural force tied to the land. The series stands out for its gritty, character-driven storytelling and atmospheric art, blending crime noir with folk horror in a way that feels both grounded and eerie. It's a compelling, under-the-radar gem for fans of mature, slow-burn horror from the DC imprint.
