Deluge is the story of an undercover FBI Agent trapped in New Orleans and on the run from a group of rogue cops in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Deluge is a triumph.

It is a buddy-cop, noir, comment on current events and culture in pre- and post Katrina New Orleans.

Writer J.D. Oliva and artist Richard P. Clark are a great team. Clark’s art matches the tone of Oliva’s story telling with perfect synchronicity.

The first issue sets up the social commentary of morality, race, class and police brutality in America. It also has more than a hint of  a conspiracy that you just know goes all the way to the top.

It starts with introducing two sets of partners from two very different walks of life. And all four have their own ways of seeing the world, and they all become remarkably individual very quickly.

This issue will leave you wanting more. I can’t wait for issue #2.

Deluge #1 is available on comiXology January 13.
