The murder of a Yakuza boss could send the criminal world into chaos if Newburn can't find the killer before the cops do.
PLUS: in "SPOOK-A-RAMA" from GILLY and LEE, Ronnie tries one last time to get justice for Veda's murder.
Newburn #7 is an issue that excels in channeling conflict into an inspiring story. Every aspect of the book, from the writing to pencils to colors should be used to teach tension and conflict to storytellers. Zdarskys words paired with Phillipss art allow the story to unfold at the perfect pace, never lingering in the past, but giving it the time and space it deserves. As Newburn continues to heat up with the looming gang war, and Emilys past catching up with her, this is the book that deserves to be at the top of every pull list. Read Full Review

Nonetheless, the entire package presented here is entertaining, and the lead story surely has an absolutely jaw-dropping conclusion. Newburn #7 builds up another noirish smash hit that is 100% worth a read. Read Full Review
What's best to behold here is how well the foundations for this pivot have been laid not only the explicit plot elements from issue #6, but how the characters and mysteries have established the nature of this world. Whatever comes next is bound to be a gut-wrenching thrill. Read Full Review
