Hitomi

Hitomi (2023–present, Image) is a tense, single-issue debut from writer and artist C. P. Smith, published by Image Comics. The series follows a young Japanese woman whose mundane life is disrupted by a mysterious, otherworldly force tied to her family's past. Smith's stark, moody artwork and sparse, atmospheric storytelling create a quiet horror that feels more like a lingering dread than a jump scare. It matters as a striking example of a self-contained, creator-owned horror comic that trusts its readers to find the terror in what's left unsaid.
