Fleeing a botched robbery in New York City, a junkie, her dying partner, and a dementia-ridden old man pull into a coal mining ghost town in central Pennsylvania.
Obscured by the caustic mists spewed forth by the coal-seam fire from the 1960s-still burning-Trier is the perfect place to lay low, score a fix, and take a hostage... or is it?
Acclaimed crime writer Ollie Masters (Snow Blind, The Kitchen) and artist Pierluigi Minotti (Lost Falls) transport readers into a bleak, violent world, perfect for fans of Gideon Falls and Stray Bullets.
Slow Burn #1 is a rich, interesting read that couples one of the more interesting enduring American mysteriesthe Centralia mine fire in Pennsylvaniaand a haunting story of not just the ghost town but the junkie who has happened upon it as she and her dying partner flee a botched robbery.

The final pages provide a little more insight into the events of the robbery itself, reveal the source of Luke's possibly fatal gunshot wound, and leave us with a eye-widening cliffhanger to make us immediately want to tune in to the next “episode.” Smoothly delivered noir with a beating heart of emotion and an almost tangible tension, this is a new series that demands your attention.

A blazing start for a truly poignant and affecting bit of noir. Read Full Review
I was really confused as to what was happening at first, but it really came together nicely. It's a solid crime book that has a lot of potential.
I'll be re-reading this once the full series is out. Waiting a month or so per issue made me forget absolutely everything about what happened.
