Hostil

In this taut, single-issue debut from Brazil's Alta Books, Hostil (2023–present) introduces a tense, grounded science-fiction scenario where a hostile alien presence on Earth forces a small group of survivors to confront both the extraterrestrial threat and the fractures within their own humanity. The series, crafted by a creative team including writer and artist, establishes its claustrophobic, character-driven tone from the first page, setting the stage for a slow-burn survival thriller. Though only one issue in, Hostil marks a promising entry in Brazilian independent comics, offering a fresh, intimate take on first-contact horror that prioritizes psychological tension over spectacle.
