The Homeland Directive

A German police procedural with a geopolitical twist, The Homeland Directive launched from Carlsen Comics in 2013 with a single issue. The series is most associated with its creator, who grounds the story in a tense, realistic take on national security and investigation. Its brief, self-contained debut issue matters as a compact example of European crime comics, offering a focused, grounded thriller without the sprawling arcs of American cape comics.
