Brethren Born

Brethren Born, from Level 8 Comics and launched in 2016, is a short-lived but striking series that reimagines the biblical story of Cain and Abel as a supernatural thriller. Spanning just two issues, it follows the cursed first murderer, Cain, as he walks the earth across millennia, now hunted by a secret order of angelic warriors known as the Brethren. The series is most associated with writer/artist Josh Finney, whose moody, atmospheric art and spare, poetic script give this dark fantasy a distinct, almost mythic weight. It matters as a compact, self-contained story that blends theological horror with a tragic, immortal protagonist, offering a fresh take on a foundational myth.
