Writer PORNSAK PICHETSHOTE's long-awaited follow-up to the critically acclaimed INFIDEL with stunning art by ALEXANDRE TEFENKGI (OUTPOST ZERO)! Following Edison Hark-a haunted, self-loathing Chinese-American detective-on the trail of a killer in 1936 Chinatown, THE GOOD ASIAN is Chinatown noir starring the first generation of Americans to come of age under an immigration ban, the Chinese, as they're besieged by rampant murders, abusive police, and a world that seemingly never changes.

The Good Asian, by Pornsak Pichetshote and Alexandre Tefenkgi (Image) I picked this trade up just after it received a 2022 Eisner nomination for "Best Limited Series". I really appreciated the historical context and references both throughout the story and the added appendix in the back. I enjoyed the setting, genre, and found the art very complimentary. As far as the crime story, I wasn't exactly blown away, but I am definitely intrigued with the overall quality of the book to come back for the next one. I have already shared this book with a friend.
