Breath of Shadows

Rich Douek and Alex Cormack bring a claustrophobic, visceral horror to life in this five-issue IDW series from 2023. Set in a remote, isolated location, the story follows a group of speleologists who discover an ancient, breathing darkness deep within an uncharted cave system. Cormack's moody, textured artwork and Douek's taut scripting create a palpable sense of dread as the explorers confront something that seems to be a living nightmare. This series stands as a potent, self-contained example of modern horror comics, leveraging its limited run for maximum atmospheric impact.
