4) The Writing!

Writer Cullen Bunn vividly explores how the protagonists and antagonists will do pretty much anything, by any means necessary, to stop the war on drugs. With the writing so fast-paced, Bunn is able to explore the perspective of the cooks, the kingpins, and the police. The lettering by Ed Dukeshire captures the desperation and irony in Brae’s thought captions as he watches his empire fall apart.

3) The Artwork!

Artist Jonas Scharf does a fantastic job capturing the intensity of Leticia’s wrath. Then Scharf delivers the shock value of a brutal knife fight. In graphic detail, limbs are flying in the air after a fiery explosion. 

2) The Colors!

Colorist Alex Gumaraes amps up the red tones during the opening pages. The night sky really stands out because of its striking blue tones. The purple highlights stand out during a hallucinatory wedding scene.
