Homicide: The Graphic Novel, Part Two is another amazing read

Posted on by

In 1988, journalist David Simon was given unprecedented access to the Baltimore Police Department’s homicide unit. Over the next twelve months, he shadowed detectives as they took on a slew of killings in a city where killings were common. Only the most heinous cases stood out-chief amongst them, the rape and murder of eleven-year-old Latonya Wallace.

Originally published in 1991, Simon’s Homicide became the basis for the acclaimed television show Homicide: Life on the Streets and inspired HBO’s The Wire. Now, this true-crime classic is reimagined as a gritty two-part graphic novel series.

Writer: David Simon
Art: Philippe Squarzoni
Color: Drac and Madd

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Homicide: The Graphic Novel Part Two

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #1 (DC Comics) – Batman and Santa teaming up. Nuff said.

Bloodrik #1 (Image Comics) – The art for this one caught our eye in what seems like a fantasy series taken to 11.

Faceless and the Family #2 (Oni Press) – The art of this series is amazing and that reason alone demands you get it!

Homicide: The Graphic Novel Vol. 2 (First Second) – The first volume of the adaptation of the book was amazing and we expect no less from the second. Crime buffs, this is a must.

Invasive #1 (Oni Press) – Cullen Bunn and Jesus Hervas team for what ounds like a disturbing new horror series about medicine and surgery. We’re already having nightmares about this.

Petrol Head #2 (Image Comics) – Cool world and design had us hooked after the debut. Now we’re hoping the series continues with the cool. Petrol Head and Lupa gun it for the SmogZone border with half the O-Zone’s security drones and robo cops on their trail.

Sentry #1 (Marvel) – With the character rumored to be making his Marvel debut, this new series feels a bit “Return of Superman” but it’ll clearly set up whatever is coming down to road for the MCU.

Thunderbolts #1 (Marvel) – Bucky Barnes leading a team to take on Marvel’s heavy hitters? Yes please!

Transformers #3 (Skybound) – The series has been solid so far with this new take on the classic property. It’s familiar but does things slightly different than the Gen-1 we remember.
