I'm enjoying it so much. My favorite noir genre comic. This arc written by Jordan Barell and illustrated by Thomas Knachlik is magnificent. There are procedural elements, noir, mystery, and a bit of the supernatural. I love seeing detectives Sam and Twitch investigating this complex case. I also enjoy seeing familiar elements like the homes of the two main detective protagonists, their pets, cars, more

The pieces have fallen into place, the conspiracy against Twitch is starting to come to light, but the reason he was targeted in the first place is still a mystery.

Even with new evidence coming to light, Twitch is still getting the shaft from the Department. He is starting to think that something even more sinister than a cover-up is going on.

Max Williams, aka Twitch, has always been a good cop and an honest cop, but someone has set him up. He's taking the fall for a shooting that wasn't his fault. Sometimes that's the job. You have to ride it out until you can prove your innocence. But now that someone is threatening his family, Twitch will have to take the law into his own hands.
