Stumptown

Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth bring a gritty, rain-slicked Portland to life in this four-issue series from Oni Press. Following the hard-luck private eye Dex Parios, the book is a masterclass in modern noir, blending sharp dialogue with Southworth's moody, expressive art. It's a lean, essential chapter in Rucka's celebrated crime fiction work, capturing a city and a detective as flawed and compelling as the cases they chase.
