About the series
In the mid-2010s, Image Comics published Black Cloud, a 10-issue series that blended noir, fantasy, and social commentary. Co-created by writer Jason Latour and artist Ivan Brandon, with striking painted art by Greg Hinkle, the story follows a young woman navigating a world where reality and a hidden dimension called the "Zoo" collide. The series explores themes of gentrification, privilege, and escape, offering a gritty, visually inventive take on urban fantasy. Its brief but potent run stands out for its ambitious world-building and unflinching look at power dynamics in a city divided by magic.
