Crimson Lotus

In this five-issue Dark Horse miniseries from 2018–2019, writer John Arcudi and artist Mindy Lee deliver a noir-tinged supernatural thriller set in the criminal underworld of Portland, Oregon. The story follows a mysterious woman with a deadly secret as she navigates a web of gangsters, ancient magic, and personal vengeance. Arcudi’s gritty, character-driven script is perfectly matched by Lee’s moody, expressive artwork, making this a taut and atmospheric gem from the publisher’s creator-owned line.
