Cutes

A deceptively sweet-looking horror comic from Distanz, Cutes (2023–present) upends the cozy aesthetic of its title with unsettling, minimalist storytelling. In its sole issue so far, the series uses soft, pastel art to explore themes of loneliness and dread, suggesting a quiet menace lurking beneath a charming surface. It’s a striking example of how modern indie comics can weaponize innocence itself.
