What makes someone turn to crime-especially in a modern, pandemic-riddled dystopia?
Danny, a seemingly mundane young man lost in escapism, with a spiraling lack of control over his life, witnesses something during a delivery job that will change him forever, turning things as dark as the black, crocodile skin boots that he can't take his eyes off of...
In this criminal thriller from Eisner-nominated writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Action Comics) and rising star artist Somnath Pal (Brigands), the morally gray turns to cold-blooded murder.

May 05, 2024Crocodile Black is a moody in its story and art and the next issue can't get here fast enough. Get ready for one hell of a devilish dark ride. This story isn't for the faint of heart. Read Full Review

Multiversity Comics - Kate Kosturski
May 09, 2024A compelling mystery rich in imagery perhaps does not need its initial premise as much as it thought, so let us hope the creative team focuses on the universal story themes underpinning this issue and less on the current events that seem to have inspired it. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
May 08, 2024The world is grounded enough that when there are elements that appear supernatural it leaves you wondering what is going on. But while a mood is certainly created the characters that exist in this world just don't capture your attention. Read Full Review

Very good overall writing, my only complaint is that I wasn't 100% clear what was going on at the end but I'm confident that will be clarified in subsequent issues. The art was nice and the characters were very well defined. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

The art was cool and I feel like I want to read issue 2, but there was a lot left on the table and I'm still confused about what really was going on.
