Colder is a three-volume horror comic published between 2012 and 2016. The series follows Declan Thomas, whose supernatural ability to enter the minds of the mentally ill comes with a terrible cost: each use drops his body temperature closer to a point of no return. Colder, The Bad Seed, and Toss the Bones build a disturbing mythology around mental illness and the monsters that feed on it.
Tobin shows a completely different side of his writing here compared to the playful Bandette or the comedic Plants vs. Zombies. Colder is genuinely unsettling, with horror that operates on both psychological and visceral levels.
