Dark Rain: A New Orleans Story

In 2010, DC Comics published Dark Rain: A New Orleans Story, a single-issue graphic novel by writer Mat Johnson and artist Simon Gane. Set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it follows two down-on-their-luck ex-cons who see a city in chaos as an opportunity for a heist, only to find themselves confronting deeper moral and supernatural forces. A taut, atmospheric crime noir, it stands as a distinctive, self-contained entry in DC's mature-readers line, exploring themes of desperation and redemption against a vividly realized post-Katrina New Orleans.
