Buckhead

A taut Southern-fried crime thriller from Boom! Studios, Buckhead (2022–present) plunges into Atlanta’s wealthiest enclave, where a young Black woman’s murder exposes the rot beneath the gilded surface. The series, written by an acclaimed crime novelist, uses its single issue to establish a web of privilege, corruption, and racial tension that promises a slow-burn investigation. Its sharp, atmospheric art captures both the opulent mansions and the simmering resentments of a community built on secrets. This debut marks a bold, character-driven entry into modern noir, earning notice for its unflinching look at class and justice.
