Clean Room, Vol. 1 by Gail Simone

Immaculate Conception

A grieving journalist investigates a charismatic self-help magnate she blames for her fiancé’s suicide, only to uncover a clandestine war against invisible, parasitic entities that manipulate human suffering. Drawn into the enigmatic “clean room,” where brutal psychological interrogations strip away façades, she begins seeing the monsters herself and must decide whether she’s exposing a dangerous cult or joining a ruthless crusade. The tale blends visceral body horror and conspiracy thriller elements as layers of trauma, faith, and power peel back to reveal truths more terrifying than the lies.
