Monica Straight

Monica Straight stepped onto the scene in 2000, born from the sharp creative minds of Brian Michael Bendis and Alberto Ponticelli in the pages of Image Comics' Sam and Twitch — that gritty, street-level detective series that gave the Spawn universe its noir heartbeat. She's a Modern Age character whose world is populated by the likes of Sam Burke, Twitch Williams, and Dr. K.C. McRory, keeping genuinely compelling company in one of the era's most underrated crime comics. With only a handful of appearances, Monica is the kind of deep-cut figure that rewards the dedicated reader hunting through every shadowy corner of the Sam and Twitch run.
