Homunculus #9-10

Hideo Yamamoto's psychologically unsettling manga gets a handsome two-volume omnibus treatment from Seven Seas Entertainment. The cover art says everything about the series' tone: a young woman rendered in precise, ink-rich detail stands front and center — yet where her face should be is a blank, featureless void, while a ghostly skull looms in the background behind her. It's the kind of image that lingers, perfectly capturing the eerie tension between perception and reality that makes Homunculus such a compelling read at $29.99.
