The Foot Soldiers

Set in the gritty, supernatural-tinged world of Dark Horse Comics, The Foot Soldiers (1996–present) is a four-issue miniseries that follows a ragtag group of everyday people—a former cop, a priest, and a disgraced soldier—as they are mysteriously drawn together to confront an ancient evil threatening their city. Written by Jim Krueger and illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming, the series stands out for its moody, character-driven horror and Oeming’s distinctive, angular art style. Though brief, it’s a cult favorite among fans of dark, urban fantasy, showcasing Krueger’s knack for weaving mythic stakes into grounded, human stories.
