Gutter of Horror: Transition
A retro-styled comic exploring an AI that might be a serial killer.
Rafael Rodrigues presents a narrative intersecting two realities. A physical world and a virtual one exist side by side. The story follows two figures described as the last Philosopher and the last Cop. These characters operate across different times, bridging the past and the present. At the center of this conflict stands an artificial omnipotence. This entity was created to solve all global problems but may also function as a serial murderer. Rodrigues styles this independent comic after classic E.C., Warren, and Skywald Comics. The work draws heavily on the visual and thematic traditions of those mid-century publishers. This issue contains the main story plus an extra two-page short story. Thiago Danieli provides the art for that additional segment. The format relies on graphic storytelling rather than prose. This book suits readers who appreciate retro horror aesthetics and philosophical dilemmas wrapped in crime narratives. It appeals to fans of vintage comic styles and supernatural fiction. Those seeking modern digital art or traditional novel formats may find this volume less suitable. Rodrigues combines the genre’s classic tropes with a unique premise about artificial intelligence and morality.
