Smoke/Ashes

Dark Horse

Followers of comics writer Alex DeCampi’s Twitter will find her occasionally grumbling about her lack of paid work in comics. Her career-sized output coupled with her hobby-sized income is an even deeper injustice when one considers the quality of her work, and Smoke/Ashes may in fact be her best. With a shooter’s gallery of artists by her side, including Igor Kordey (New X-Men), Carla Speed McNeil (Finder), and Bill Sienkiewicz (Daredevil), this tale of international espionage is complex, well-wrought, and at least worthy of its own ongoing series, perhaps even a serialized cable drama. Detailed, entertaining and compulsively readable, this graphic novel is highly recommended for fans of Greg Rucka’s Queen and Country and the gumshoe-leaning stories of Batman and John Constantine. DC Comics, are you listening? It’s time to put DeCampi on one of your books and hook your readers on some true intrigue. (www.darkhorse.com)
