Rich with history, style, and emotion, Image Comics' The Good Asian delivers noir excellence at every turn. -The AV Club Both important and incredibly fun. -Scott Snyder (NOCTERRA, Batman) One of the best new crime comics. -SYFYWIRE Has all the trappings of a noir tale, but also tackles questions of race, immigration, and 'respectability politics.' All wrapped up in a thrilling mystery. -Fortune Edison Hark is one of the most intriguing detectives in the history of noir. Pichetshote and Tefenkgi have crafted a brilliant story that sheds light on a dark time in American history while telling a compelling and singular story that is sure to fascinate audiences for quite some time. -Comic Book Resources What is great about this series-beyond nuanced characters, gorgeously mood-setting art, and an impressively layered story aided by historical consultants on the creative team-is that it's simply a good noir. The tone, the twists, the double-crosses... they would all fit among the best film noirs of the '40s and '50s. This is the kind of textured plotting you might expect from Raymond Chandler if he were writing today. -Thrillist
