Black Cloak

In the sci-fi noir world of Kiros, a city built atop the corpse of a dead god, a disgraced detective known as the Black Cloak investigates the murder of a princess—a case that threatens to unravel the very fabric of this strange and stratified society. Co-created by writer Kelly Thompson and artist Meredith McClaren, this Image Comics series blends a hard-boiled detective story with lush, otherworldly world-building and a deeply human core. With its striking, watercolor-infused visuals and a mystery that probes themes of justice, identity, and power, Black Cloak has quickly become a standout for its atmospheric and emotionally resonant take on the genre.
