A dazzling, visual thrill ride through a hard-boiled dystopia that the A.V. Club descibes as "gorgeous sci-fi noir," from inimitable comic-book storytellers Scott Snyder (Batman, Nocterra) and Francis Manapul (Justice League, The Flash).In the not-too-distant future, mankind no longer sees the world as it truly is. The invention of neurological filters has made it so one can view reality however they may choose—Old Hollywood monochrome, zombie apocalypse, anime… the possibilities are endless.Neo-shamus Sam Dunes is one of only a handful who choose to live without a filter. 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."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.”—Comicbook.comCollects Clear #1–#3 (originally published by Comixology and published in single issue format by Dark Horse).
