About the series
Ed Brisson’s tense, five-issue crime saga for Image Comics (2015–2016) follows a man who, after a brutal home invasion, struggles to hold his fractured family together while a cycle of retribution spirals out of control. With stark, moody art by Adam Gorham, The Violent strips away superheroics to deliver a raw, grounded thriller about the cost of violence and the limits of loyalty. It’s a compact, visceral story that stands as a sharp entry in Image’s mid-2010s wave of gritty, character-driven crime comics.
