Newburn, Volume 1 by Jacob Phillips, Chip Zdarsky
4.0

Holy shit was this fun.

Basically a Ex-cop decides to work for the mafia families solving crimes and fixing shit. Thanks to his experience he knows how not only the families work but also his fellow cops. He's almost like a Private Eye for the worst scum on the planet. And when he brings on a "sidekick" of sorts things get really messy.

Lots of great turns and twist. Newburn goes from a stoic, tad boring character, to full blown fucking psycho and I love it. The ending really ramps up and those last 3 issues are excellent. I'm looking forward to reading more and some excellent art to boot.

A 4 out of 5.
