This week we're diving into Fog Land by POGO, an action horror series on Webtoon that takes Dante's Divine Comedy and turns it into a supermax prison nightmare.
Dante Kang is a science teacher who believes everyone deserves education, even the worst criminals on Earth. So he volunteers to teach inside Fog Land, a mysterious international prison built in a meteor crater that houses the world's most dangerous inmates. His first class ends in a violent riot that kills most of his fellow teachers, and now he's trapped inside with no way out.
Fog Land isn't just a prison though. It's an entire city unto itself, drenched in a mysterious substance called Fog that transforms people into superhuman monsters and keeps them addicted, with withdrawal sending them into a comatose state called Limbo. Now Dante has to navigate through nine circles of literal hell to escape, armed with nothing but his brain and the belief that even the people in here are still human. The author has planned nine seasons to match the nine circles, potentially spanning a decade of storytelling.
If you want a manhwa that goes full Dante's Inferno with body horror, incredible world building, and a protagonist who refuses to stop caring, this one's already being called a masterpiece in the making.
