Sam and Twitch: Case Files #7

Two hard-boiled detectives step out of the shadows in this moody seventh installment of Sam and Twitch: Case Files — the lean, bespectacled figure in the background and his stockier, cigarette-smoking partner up front, pistol in hand, both rendered in a brooding near-monochromatic palette that suits their gritty world perfectly. The painterly cover art captures the atmospheric noir tension that has made this Spawn Universe series such a compelling corner of Image Comics. If you like your crime fiction steeped in shadow and consequence, this 2024 series continues to deliver.
