The Unknown #1
In "The Unknown [Chapter One]," writer Mark Waid and artist Minck Oosterveer launch a gripping mystery centered on Catherine Allingham, America's Foremost Detective, who claims to have solved the riddle of Stonehenge and uncovered the fate of D.B. Cooper—only to face a grim prognosis from a brain tumor that may be distorting her reality. With just six months to live, she recruits a sharp-eyed bouncer as her assistant for a journey to Austria, where she aims to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a machine designed to measure the human soul. The haunting atmosphere and layered intrigue are brought to life by Minck Oosterveer’s striking interior art and Fellipe Martins’ evocative coloring, while Paul Pope’s moody cover sets the tone with a sense of quiet dread.
