Deer Editor

A hard-boiled tabloid journalist in 1990s Los Angeles gets a second chance at life when he's resurrected as a talking deer, solving crimes and navigating a world that sees him as both a freak and a savior. Published by Mad Cave Studios in 2024, this three-issue series from writer Ryan K. Lindsay and artist Sami Kivelä blends noir detective tropes with surreal animal transformation, creating a unique, character-driven crime story. It matters for its inventive, genre-bending premise and the striking visual storytelling that brings this oddball concept to life.
