In the not-too-distant future, mankind has lost the ability to perceive the world as it truly is. The invention of neurological filters has enabled people to view reality in whatever manner they choose—from Old Hollywood monochrome to zombie apocalypse to anime, the possibilities are endless.
One of the few who refuses to use a filter is neo-shamus Sam Dunes. When the death of an old flame reveals foul play, Dunes is set on a wild and twisting mystery that will take him from the city's deadly underworld to the even deadlier heights of wealth and power.
This dazzling, visual thrill ride through a hard-boiled dystopia has been described by the A.V. Club as "gorgeous sci-fi noir," and it is the work of inimitable comic-book storytellers Scott Snyder (Batman, Nocterra) and Francis Manapul (Justice League, The Flash).
"Built on the impeccable execution of two masters at the top of their game, Clear is easy to recommend for anyone who wants unnervingly relevant genre fiction," says Comicbook.com.
The series collects Clear #1–#3, originally published by Comixology and now in single issue format by Dark Horse.
