Don't miss it."SCOTT SNYDER (Batman, Nocterra) "A smart, classic noir drenched in style and history."JAMES TYNION IV (THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH, Batman) "A brittle story that takes place during an unfamiliar time in our history that is tragically all too familiar now in our present."BRIAN AZZARELLO (MOONSHINE, 100 Bullets) "Absolutely the best kind of comics noir."KIERON GILLEN (THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, DIE) "The best noir comic I've read in years. It's taut, evocative, and though it's set nearly 100 years ago, incredibly relevant."G. WILLOW WILSON (Ms. Marvel) "Fantastic."JEFF LEMIRE (GIDEON FALLS, Sweet Tooth) "This is the book I've been waiting for."CLIFF CHIANG (PAPER GIRLS)Trade Review"Has all the trappings of a noir tale, but also tackles questions of race, immigration, and 'respectability politics.' All wrapped up in a thrilling mystery." -Fortune"Heavily researched and rooted in real life, the result is something that feels brand new and ground-breaking, while continuing to honor the traditions of the stories it draws on, both real and imagined." -Variety"The surroundings will seem and feel instantly familiar to those who know the historic San Francisco neighborhood. But the comic's title character, Edison Hark, a Chinese American detective who is trying to track down a missing person in 1936, is decidedly new." -The San Francisco Chronicle"Rich with history, style, and emotion, Image Comics' The Good Asian delivers noir excellence at every turn." -The AV Club"What is great about this series-beyond nuanced characters, gorgeously mood-setting art, and an impressively layered story aided by historical consultants on the creative team-is that it's simply a good noir. The tone, the twists, the double-crosses... they would all fit among the best film noirs of the '40s and '50s. This is the kind of textured plotting you might expect from Raymond Chandler if he were writing today." -Thrillist"Edison Hark is one of the most intriguing detectives in the history of noir. Pichetshote and Tefenkgi have crafted a brilliant story that sheds light on a dark time in American history while telling a compelling and singular story that is sure to fascinate audiences for quite some time." -Comic Book Resources
