The Last Days of American Crime

In this three-issue miniseries from Emmanuel Proust, The Last Days of American Crime (2010–2011) imagines a near-future America on the cusp of a radical change: a government-issued signal that will make it impossible for anyone to consciously commit a crime. As the countdown to this new era begins, career criminals plot one last, massive heist before the switch is flipped. The series is best known for its gritty, cinematic crime-noir sensibility and its provocative premise about free will and societal control.
