Arachna 3 Hardcover: Primal Fear – Deluxe Edition

The Arachna 3 hardcover collects Primal Fear, the third full-length graphic novel in X53 Studios’ adult superhero series, in an expanded deluxe edition.

Kumo has returned—and she has unfinished business with Arachna and Doc Diabolique. This time, however, her plan is about more than physical revenge. A violent crime spree bears Arachna’s signature, leaving Jennie Janus and her superpowered alter ego questioning each other.

Jennie believes Arachna may be acting without her knowledge. Arachna insists she is innocent. As their fragile relationship collapses, an even more frightening possibility emerges: What if Jennie and Arachna are not alone inside their shared mind?

Searching for answers, Jennie turns to Arachna’s mentor, Ji-Ho. Meanwhile, Doc Diabolique remains consumed by guilt and grief following Katherine’s murder. With Kumo closing in, former enemies may have to work together—but no alliance is safe when everyone involved is carrying secrets.

Packed with psychological suspense, brutal confrontations, black humor, and superhero action, Primal Fear pushes Jennie and Arachna toward a breaking point. To survive Kumo’s most personal attack, they must decide whether they can finally trust each other.

The deluxe Arachna 3 hardcover contains the complete full-color Primal Fear graphic novel plus a special black-and-white presentation of the story featuring Carlos Granda’s original unlettered artwork.
