Us

A taut, single-issue horror comic from Dark Horse, Us (2023) explores the psychological unraveling of a couple trapped in their home by an unseen threat. The story is driven by the claustrophobic tension between intimacy and paranoia, with the creative team using the limited format to deliver a concentrated burst of dread. It matters as a concise, modern example of how a standalone comic can deliver a complete, unsettling narrative without the need for a larger series.
