PICK UP (One Shot)

Pick Up is a taut standalone comic that places a social-media influencer under the microscope. Written by Michael Coast with art by Felipe Cunha, the one-shot follows Nick Nolan, a rising influencer whose dating advice channels have built a loyal—yet thirsty—male audience. When a routine video captures a murder in the background, Nick finds himself pulled into a dangerous tangle of clues, celebrity culture, and obsession. Cruelly cinematic and slyly Hitchcockian, the story reimagines Hitchcock's Rear Window for the influencer era, turning screens, comments, and reputation into weapons. Across a 56-page, mature, stylish narrative, two striking covers — ACO and Alison Sampson — accompany Coast's crisp storytelling and Cunha's expressive artwork. Pick Up probes how desire, fame, and truth collide online, delivering a sharp, sexy thriller about perception and danger in the age of visibility.
