“The Night Chicago Died”

In "The Night Chicago Died," Howard Chaykin and David Tischman deliver a taut, morally charged chapter as Harry tightens his grip on a crumbling city, setting a deadly trap that could eliminate multiple enemies at once—Detective Giambone, Detective McFadden, and crooked parole officer Wermer. Meanwhile, Beth’s quiet defiance begins to unravel, hinting at a betrayal that could shatter Harry’s fragile control. Marc Laming’s stark, atmospheric art, with inks by Digital Chameleon and colors by Sherilyn Van Valkenburgh and Digital Chameleon, captures the noir tension, while Jim Silke’s cover nails the issue’s grim, high-stakes mood.
