About the series
In this French science-fiction series from Soleil, a young woman's encounter with a mysterious spider-like creature grants her extraordinary abilities—and a dangerous connection to a hidden world of genetic experimentation and corporate conspiracy. Running for 14 issues between 2015 and 2018, Arachnid blends body horror with sleek, futuristic action, anchored by the atmospheric art of its creator, penciller and co-writer Jean-David Morvan. It stands out for its visceral take on the classic "unwilling monster" trope, grounding its superhuman premise in a gritty, European comics tradition that prioritizes mood and consequence over spectacle.
