The New York Four

Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly’s The New York Four is a single-issue graphic novel from Dark Horse that captures the energy and ambition of four college freshmen navigating life in New York City. With Wood’s sharp, character-driven storytelling and Kelly’s expressive linework, the series explores friendship, identity, and the city itself as a fifth character. Though brief, it stands as a distinct, grounded take on young adulthood from two acclaimed indie comics creators.
