An ex-Yakuza is on his way to the States for a liver transplant in exchange for intel on NYC Yakuza activities. To stop the info from making it to the Feds, Newburn and Emily have to dodge the cops and the FBI.
PLUS: In "GO BACK" by DRAGOTTA & BROTHERS, the kid tries to find a single friend in a city of eight million strangers.
Newburn #11 is a prime example of how an established tone and rhythm can be twisted for maximum effect. Zdarsky takes the idea of clashing questions and applies it to the center of the Yakuza case from the first arc, which charts a path forward for Newburn and the other lead characters. Nothing in the issue is too shocking or out of line, but the constant affirmation of tone by Phillips in the spectrum of blues and the use of close-ups. Newburn and its creative team continue to uncover new ways to dig into these mysteries and concepts through character and coloring specifically. Read Full Review
