This is a combination of form and genre that I don't think I've come across before - a historical urban fantasy comic, set in Detroit in the early 1970s, and it was super enjoyable. The protagonist, Elena, is a journalist known for her investigations into police brutality. Marginalised by both her race and sex, she's able to illuminate the social tensions of the time (before my time, and in another country at that) in a clear and vivid way. Honestly, I was so engrossed in the social commentary that I was actually a little disappointed when the urban fantasy bit came in - I had no idea going in that this was anything more than historical fiction, so the swirling monster that appeared in the alleyway was a surprise. It's not that I don't enjoy monsters and urban fantasy - I do - it's just that I find myself far less interested in it than I am in Elena and her community.
