"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." -<b><i>Fortune</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 />
"The surroundings will seem
and feel instantly familiar to those who know the historic San Francisco
neighborhood. But the comic's title character, Edison Hark, a Chinese American
detective who is trying to track down a missing person in 1936, is decidedly
new." -<b><i>The San Francisco Chronicle</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 />
<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 />
"Does not center around superheroes. It is instead a
detective story with all the elements of a good noir...Tefenkgi's drawings in
sepia, orange, gray and black enhance the dark ambiance of the story."
