Comic Watch - Dustin Gebel
Mar 05, 2022Newburn #4 is another win for both Zdarsky and Phillips, continuing a stunning run of procedural stories that still feel connected and building to something larger. The book has a lean script from Zdarsky that throws more pieces onto the board, and visually atmospheric art from Phillips that plays to both his strengths and the strengths of the genre. Its a wonderful execution of those pulpy elements and establishes the creative teams vision. With the sheer amount of players and stories the two appear to have for this world, hopefully, the book can continue at this trajectory and continue to be a refreshing monthly title. Read Full Review

Mar 02, 2022Newburn mastered the telling of a one-and-done mystery in issue #1, but here it introduces enough complexity to its original premise and toys with the underlying themes in a way that suggests there's still much more to be mined in this series as Newburn #4 is easily the best issue yet.

Another cracking issue from Chip Zdarsky and Jacob Phillips. Riveting from beginning to end.

Newborn has taken a few issues to properly gel, but this book is really starting to hit its stride. This month's case is a look into the mob-police relations and just how much the crime family politics revolve around our title character. Zdarsky weaves an interesting web here. Highly recommend.

Probably the best one so far. Feels like it's picking up some steam.

This issue actually worked better than the last three issues did. I think noirs can be particularly difficult to breach, at least for me as a reader. But Zdarsky is a good writer, and given enough brute force, I think I'm starting to turn around on this series.

Zdarsky continues to knock it out if the park, the only downsides are the wasted pages for the diary (the entries spell out what literally just happened in the comic and added nothing to the story) and the backup, but I'll admit this time around the backup exceeded the low expectations it established for itself in the previous issues.
