Supernatural Crime: digital comics and pulp "Take a midnight stroll down the rain-slick streets of Port Nocturne, where the acrid scent of gunpowder hangs in the air like cheap perfume, where every dark alley comes to a dead end, and justice is... ...blonde."

Noir-style detectives and masked vigilantes in tales of hardboiled horror for your reading pleasure. Or, if you're more interested in Flash Gordon-style sci-fi swashbucklers, Perils on Planet X by Supernatural Crime's Chris Mills at Atomic Pulp might be more your speed.

  • Is that her really odd-looking hair or a really odd-looking fur stole?
  • Nickdanger: I've so far read only a couple of the comics, but I can definitely tell you that, though the artwork was fairly good, I wasn't that impressed with the one Nightmark comic on offer. I'm partway through the Brother Grim comic "Bullets of Jade" and I think so far it's my favorite. Lara: Odd-looking hair. I think they're supposed to be like Shirley Temple's curls, but on a rather grander scale.
  • I thought it was tentacles.
