Ursa Minor

In this 2012–2013 Big Dog Ink miniseries, writer and artist Ian Snyder crafts a gritty, darkly humorous sci-fi tale set in a near-future where a down-on-his-luck ex-cop takes a job as a security guard for a mysterious corporation, only to stumble into a conspiracy involving alien artifacts, corporate espionage, and a talking bear. The six-issue run stands out for Snyder's distinctive, moody art and its blend of noir detective work with offbeat, creature-filled worldbuilding.
