Victorie City

In the crime-ridden, rain-slicked streets of Victorie City, a corrupt police force and a shadowy criminal underworld clash in a noir thriller painted with brutal, expressionistic art. Launched by IDW in 2016, this four-issue series is defined by the visceral, painted visuals of Ben Templesmith, Christopher Mitten, and George Pratt, whose styles give the city a fever-dream texture. A stark, unflinching look at justice and vengeance, it stands as a potent example of modern crime comics where the atmosphere is as much a character as the flawed people trapped within it.
