“Fantastic.” -<b>Jeff Lemire</b>, <i>Sweet
Tooth, Gideon Falls</i><br />
<i>"</i>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." -<b><i>Comic Book
Resources</i></b><br />
"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." -<b><i>Thrillist</i></b><br />
"Rich with history, style,
and emotion, Image Comics' <i>The Good Asian</i> delivers noir excellence at
every turn." -<b><i>The AV Club</i></b><br />
"Heavily researched and
rooted in real life, the result is something that feels brand new and
ground-breaking, while continuing to honor the traditions of the stories it
draws on, both real and imagined." -<b><i>Variety</i></b><br />
“Both important and incredibly fun. Don't miss
it.” -<b>Scott Snyder</b>, <i>Nocterra, Batman</i><br />
