Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Infidel is a creator-owned Image Comics 5-issue horror series written by former Vertigo Comics editor Pornsak Pichetshote and illustrated by artist Aaron Campbell (Green Hornet: Year One, James Bond: Felix Leiter, The Shadow); colorist Jose Villarrubia (Ghost Rider, Desolation Jones) and letterer/designer Jeff Powell (Miracleman, Atomic Robo, Sonic The Hedgehog) round out the creative team.The main character is Aisha, a Pakistani-American woman from New Jersey. Recently she, her fiancee Tom, and Tom's daughter Kris moved in with his mother Leslie in the wake of an explosion in her building, which is rumored to have been the work of a possible Islamic fundamentalist terrorist. Needless to say, this causes some difficulty with the neighbors for Aisha, who is recognizably Muslim (she wears hijab in public most of the time), and there's also some underlying strife between her and Leslie, whose husband was killed in the 9/11 attacks. Tom's not too happy about it either, thinking that moving in was a mistake, though because of the constant repairwork, they pay a low rent.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })On a more troubling note, Aisha's begun having terrible nightmares during which she lashes out at her surroundings. She suspects her anxiety medication may be responsible and her doctor changes it, but Aisha's dreams don't get better, they get worse...and there is increasing evidence that they might not be dreams at all.

Ambiguously Brown: Aisha, but she's still easily identifiable as Muslim because she usually wears hijab. Her best friend Medina is African-American and has stopped wearing it.

Anachronic Order: Issue #5 begins with a flashback to just before the explosion, then returns to the present, jumps back to Medina and Aisha talking, comes forward to the story again, and finally ends several months later.

Abusive Parents: Mildly verbally abusive grandmother. A flashback shows Leslie yelling at Kris for trying on one of Aisha's hijabs, which, after having gotten to know Aisha better, she now seems to genuinely regret.
