Criss Cross

In this single-issue 2005 debut from Arcana, writer Doug Miers introduces a tense, small-town mystery where a series of violent crimes forces a community to confront its own dark secrets. The story hinges on a web of suspicion and shifting alliances, with no easy answers for the characters caught in the crossfire. Though brief, this issue lays the groundwork for a narrative that has continued to unfold over the years, marking Miers' long-term commitment to the series.
