Venus

Venus (2016–present, Boom! Studios) is a single-issue comic that reimagines the classic golden-age jungle queen as a modern, psychologically complex survivor. Written by Rick Loverd with art by Lozano and color by Dee Cunniffe, this one-shot explores the aftermath of a traumatic encounter with civilization, stripping away pulp-era tropes for a grounded, introspective take. A thoughtful, standalone entry in Boom!'s line, it matters as a bold, revisionist character study that reframes a vintage archetype for contemporary readers.
