Exurbia

In the single-issue series Exurbia (2009–present, Dark Horse), readers are dropped into a near-future world where sprawling suburban communities have become self-contained, walled-off enclaves. The story follows residents navigating the tensions between comfort and control, as the promise of a perfect life outside the city gives way to unsettling realities. Though brief, this debut issue from Dark Horse sets up a thoughtful, dystopian premise that examines the costs of modern isolation and privilege.
