    The Good Asian #5 answered a simple question: how did Edison Hark get into this brilliant mess of a situation? It answers that question in the most thrilling and emotionally resonating way possible, and I cannot wait for The Good Asian #6 to answer how the hell he's going to get out of it. Read Full Review

    The Good Asian continues to present a wonderful Detective Noir story with some great plot twists. Pornsak Pichetshote gives us a truly complex character in Edison Hark. The panels set in the bar where Wilber tells Edison to sort of play along with things to earn the trust of an all-white police force are revealing of the time period. We get some wonderful shocks and twists in this book, which will only make the story more interesting as the plot moves forward. Read Full Review

    'The Good Asian' continues to be a must-read into its second arc. Even when the main story takes a break to expand on Edison's upbringing, there's no lack of intrigue or drama. It's all wonderfully told in tandem with captivating visuals. One of the year's best comics doesn't miss a beat as Edison's troubles escalate.  Read Full Review
