| Anyone have any recommendations for some darker comics out there? Either current runs or relatively recent (post-2000s). I've started reading Babyteeth and Plastic and I dig em. Looking into titles like Dark Ark and Unholy Grail. Not really interested in something like the Walking Dead. Any other current or recent runs out there that are pretty good? | ||

| Afterlife with Archie and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina are both really good, though only 2-3 issues of each come out a year. Both have first volume trades. | ||

| Pestilence is okay, but the artwork is not as moody as I would have expected for that series. The storyline is okay and the cover art is awesome. If you're looking for something with a Sci-fi slant, I read the first issue of Trespasser by Alterna comics (they're the new company that uses newsprint). The first issue was great, but its a sci-fi dystopian kind a thing. Might not fit what you're looking for. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| Riverdale TV show was dark, comic should mirror the show for the most part. Anything by Mark Millar (Wanter, Kick-Ass, Hit Girl, Kick Ass 2, Nemesis, Superior, Old Man Logan, etc.) If Millar wrote it there is something really messed up that happened. Locke & Key, Chew, Walking Dead, Revival, Think Tank, Happy!, Peter Panzerfaust, etc. Image and IDW circa 2009-2012 had some really great stuff. |

| I'll had kill or killed to my list. More of noir with some psychological twists and horror elements. | ||

| I will second Harrow County. Cullen is an author you can watch for. He is often at Boom! The Unsound by Cullen Cullen's The Empty Man is really good so far. I am 3 issues into the 6 issue series. (So much to catch up on.) Mind MGMT by Kindt is good. I want to check out Dept H by Kindt. Check out all Matt Kindt's non DC Marvel stuff. Twisted Tales is an older book that is more fun horror. I hope that helps. I like this genre, too. oh, and check out Nailbiter if you like horror. |

I'd recommend the first Hellblazer trade If you liked 30 Days of Night, the same artist did Dead Space, but it's a video game adaptation so the writkng probably isn't as good  |

| I love 'Lady Killer' by Jamie S. Rich. But the real star of the series is the art. My friend described the art as "twisted Disney", & I can totally see that. I now really want some Joëlle Jones original art from this series. Lady Killer https://www.amazon.com/dp/1616557575/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xH7Nzb6VKNEFW |

The 2008 X-Force series and the following Uncanny X-Force series has some of the most hard core X-Men and they are not afraid to kill.     |

| Ten Grand (Image) by J. Michael Straczynski would fit the bill of 'dark' and the 12 issues are collected in two tpbs. I'll echo the Archie horror titles Afterlife and Chilling Adventures are pretty good reads and throw in the Black Hood as well. |

| How could I forget Morning Glories? Speaking of this series, I read the first 20 or so issues and still have no idea what the hell is going on. Does this one ever start making sense? Manhattan Projects East of West Bedlam is really, really dark - Madder Red does not mess around Blue Estate - Cool story, hated the artwork Snapshot - Liked this four issue mini-series Clone Danger Club Deadly Class Dia De Los Muertos Five Ghosts Kingsmen the Secret Service Mind the Gap Rat Queens Sex Criminals Severed Southern Bastards Killogy Thief of Thieves Pestilence - looks dark, haven't read it yet The Cape Thumbprint Tales from the Darkside Wraith Kodiak |

| I second nailbiter. The series is finished so I'm sure you can pick up the trades for cheap. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by drchaos I thought of Morning Glories, but didn't want to suggest it as I also jumped ship around #26 or so as I wasn't understanding the storyline for several issues running. Deadly Class is a good one, and ToT was one of my favorite titles in the last couple years. I guess I forgot it was 'dark'.  |

If you like dark comics with a religious bent, I HIGHLY recommend Roman Ritual by Amigo comics. It is a 4 issue limited series and well worth the read. |
