VERY FINE/NEAR MINT

(W) David Lapham, Maria Lapham
(A/CA) David Lapham

After his gambling addiction brings David to the lowest point in his life and decimates his personal life, he'd do anything for one last chance at setting things right but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. He may just be in luck-if he can call it that; the grapevine yields illicit fruit as he learns of a heist, one involving a tunnel system that no one knows better than former NYC subway veteran David… In this brand new hardboiled heist series with a supernatural horror twist perfect for fans of Phantom Road and Newburn, the hit Stray Bullets creative team of David & Maria Lapham explore how seeking atonement can lead people to do desperate and dangerous things.

Reviews

David Lapham/Maria Lapham (Stray Bullets) return to a life of crime comics with Underheist. For better or for worse, this feels exactly like a book they'd have done in the 90's, but now w/ color. This is a fairly specific crime world we find ourselves in- there's a John Wick/Continental/High Table type element, but of the slummiest nature. A sadist dirtbag in a cape carving a design into someone's neck isn't really playing at the same level as someone trading a finger for two minutes of face time.

I think that's the appeal here, actually. The Laphams have a great feel for the lowest level of the low level criminal world. The group we're following is adrift about 4 minutes into their spectacular plan. I don't know that you can call this 'fun', but if you enjoy a window into the lives of people who are making more bad decisions than you are, you could start worse places.
