CSI: Dying in the Gutters Ashcan Edition

In 2006, IDW released a single-issue ashcan edition titled CSI: Dying in the Gutters, a promotional comic that blends the forensic crime-solving world of the CSI franchise with the behind-the-scenes lore of the comic book industry. This one-shot serves as a quirky, self-aware artifact, tying into the larger CSI: Dying in the Gutters storyline that explores a murder mystery set at a comic convention. While brief, it stands as a niche curiosity for fans of both crime procedurals and comics culture, showcasing IDW's willingness to experiment with licensed properties in the mid-2000s.
