Bring the Thunder

In this four-issue 2010–2011 miniseries from Dynamite Entertainment, a disgraced Chicago detective and a mysterious, superhumanly powerful drifter form an uneasy alliance to take on a ruthless crime syndicate. Written by J.T. Krul and illustrated by Brian Ching, Bring the Thunder delivers a gritty, rain-soaked blend of hardboiled crime fiction and superhero action. The series is notable for its moody, noir-tinged atmosphere and its focus on flawed, morally ambiguous protagonists navigating a corrupt city.
