The Good Asian

In The Good Asian (2021–present, Image), writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips—the acclaimed duo behind Criminal and The Fade Out—turn their noir lens to 1930s San Francisco, where Chinese-American detective Edison Hark must navigate a city rife with corruption, racism, and a missing-person case that threatens to expose the darkest corners of the Asian American experience. A taut, historically grounded crime saga, it draws on real-world Chinatown politics and the era's anti-Asian sentiment to craft a moody, morally complex thriller. With Jacob Phillips providing atmospheric colors, the series stands as a sharp, intimate exploration of identity and justice within the classic hardboiled tradition.
