Die Passage

In this German-language series from Splitter Verlag, Die Passage (2023–present) launches a single-issue tale of harrowing survival, following a mother and daughter as they navigate a perilous journey across a frozen, post-apocalyptic landscape. The story is driven by the stark, atmospheric artwork and the tense, character-focused scripting, establishing a quiet, desperate tone from its opening chapter. Though only one issue in, the series is notable for its minimalist approach to the survival genre, emphasizing human connection over spectacle. It matters as a promising entry in contemporary European comics, showcasing a focused, intimate vision from its creative team.
