Dark Blood

In Dark Blood (2022–present, Boom! Studios), a Black World War II veteran returns to the Jim Crow South and discovers his dormant supernatural powers, forcing him to confront both racist violence and a monstrous legacy tied to his family. This debut issue, written by LaToya Morgan with art by Valentine De Landro, launches a horror-blended historical thriller that reimagines the superhero origin through the lens of systemic oppression. The series matters for its unflinching fusion of social commentary and genre storytelling, marking a potent new voice in creator-owned comics.
