Pearl

In 2022, Dark Horse released Pearl, a six-issue limited series that pairs writer Brian Michael Bendis with his frequent artistic collaborator Michael Gaydos. Set in the gritty world of organized crime, the series follows a young woman from a powerful Yakuza family who uses her unique abilities to carve her own path. Gaydos’s moody, shadow-drenched visuals give the story a noir intensity, making Pearl a standout modern crime comic from a celebrated creative team.
