Dark Rain is a graphic novel coming out in a few months from Mat Johnson. You should be reading his stuff if you aren’t already. We liked his last graphic novel, Incognegro, so much that we nominated it for a Spinetingler award last year.
After the jump check out a brief synopsis and two finished pages from Dark Rain.
DARK RAIN is a race-against-time thriller about two desperate-for-a-break ex-cons who get the bright idea, as New Orleans lies underwater, that now would be a pretty good time to rob a bank. Unfortunately, the bank is in central New Orleans and they’re on parole in a Houston halfway house. So while every sane person is racing to get out, our guys Emmit and Dabny set off on a mission to get in. Or die trying.
