Loose Ends

In this taut, four-issue crime saga from Image Comics, a drug deal gone violently wrong in the Florida heat sends a cast of desperate characters—including a burned-out surfer, a ruthless dealer, and a woman with secrets—spiraling toward a bloody reckoning. Artist Chris Brunner’s gritty, sun-baked visuals define the series, which launched in 2017 and remains ongoing. A lean, atmospheric thriller that captures the noir tradition with a modern, southern-fried edge.
