Blacksad is back! The English version is available now on ComiXology, and there’s just a month to wait until part two of this volume. I couldn’t wait for the Dark Horse paper publication to get more adventures of my favorite cat detective. Still have a ways to go in the video game, so I’ll have that to tide me over while waiting for volume 2.

Gahhh! Yes, who doesn’t love a noir detective story? Set in 1950s-60s New York?
But then everyone’s anthropomorphized animals? I just love it so much. And the artwork?? God it’s so good. It’s some of my favorite artwork, hands down.

Blacksad comics are a big ol' treat, always. I don't have anything new to add this time around. I could read 100 of 'em. It's a colorful, lively world with heart and an often-classic view of, and sometimes wrestling with, morality. It's also probably a solid intro to noir, given the fun of animalia tied to the go-to tropes and character types. Here, we get a fourth of a big arc and I can't wait to see what the city's got in store for its heroes and villains. (We even get an expanded transportation in the big city subplot. Incredible.)
