The Unknown

In this taut 2009 one-shot from Boom! Studios, writer Mark Waid and artist Minck Oosterveer deliver a standalone thriller about a man who can see the exact moment of anyone's death—including his own. The story explores the psychological weight of this curse through a single, self-contained issue, showcasing Waid's knack for high-concept superhero drama and Oosterveer's moody, expressive linework. Though brief, The Unknown stands as a compact, character-driven exploration of fate and mortality.
