Mo-nicles - Chronicles of Mohaps

archaiaentertainment:

Could the recently released Mumbai Confidential be “a defining work in graphic literature?” Geekadelphia certainly has some thoughts along those lines!

In a very enthusiastic review, they write:

“Mumbai Confidential is flat out brilliant, an instant classic that when people want to read a perfect example of noir storytelling in comics, this is the book they will look for.

Taking place in India during the time of the Encounter Squads, groups of rouge cops who end up becoming the criminals they are trying to eliminate, it’s a story that grabs you from page one and just doesn’t let go. The characters Mohapatra has created are multidimensional, fully realized people whom you quickly become very invested in, even with all their faults. The artwork by Shinde is gritty, dark and full of shadow, just like the story itself, but still beautiful in it’s own way. In fact, the writing and art complement each other so perfectly that you could almost believe they were done by the same person, not two individuals. ”
