In previous issues, we were introduced to World War III veteran Dunes, who managed to build a new life for himself with a wife and child. But his wife Kendra died under mysterious circumstances, leaving Dunes trying to figure out what happened.
Clear is set in a near-future Earth – think Blade Runner – with dazzling neon noir thanks to artist Francis Manapul, who is even coloring his own work. Working with writer Scott Snyder, Manapul’s Clear is a magnificent world of our dreams but the story reveals a nightmare scenario. At the core of it is the promise that all people are connected to the Internet… but that’s also the nightmare, as you can imagine.
In this preview of Clear #3, Dunes flashes back to better times when he and his family are riding in a car together. But in a possible portent to the truth behind his wife’s mysterious death, bad things happen.
Check out this preview of Clear #3:
