Slow Burn

Slow Burn (2024–present, Boom! Studios) is a taut crime thriller that follows a down-on-his-luck private investigator drawn into a dangerous web of corruption and murder in a small Southern town. Written and illustrated by Ollie Masters, the series has quickly established itself as a gritty, character-driven noir with a slow-burning tension that recalls classic hardboiled fiction. Its debut issue sets a compelling stage for a story that promises to explore the dark underbelly of community and the cost of seeking truth.
