People are talking about DARK RAIN: A New Orleans Story an original graphic novel by Mat Johnson (Incognegro) and artist Simon Gane, on sale this August. Check out the preview, previously posted here, on Graphic Content.

“Mat Johnson’s unflinching, macabre sense of humor is perfectly in tune with New Orleans, and Simon Gane’s eye for character and detail brings the region in all its glory and degradation to vivid life.”
—Josh Neufeld, writer/artist of the New York Times bestseller A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge

“DARK RAIN has the twists of The Treasure Of the Sierra Madre, the political punch of When The Levees Broke and the character interplay of The Defiant Ones. Mat Johnson’s unique voice holds the whole thing together and makes it fresh and new.”
—Reginald Hudlin writer of Black Panther, director of Boomerang

“Part political novel, part heist tale, part love story, DARK RAIN is a stiff cocktail that will knock you down and set you up. Mat Johnson’s ability to use the medium of the graphic novel to create powerful blunt objects, modern myths, that carry on coded conversations with an immense array of cultural artifacts ranging from the literary to the cinematic is second to none.”
—Alice Randall, New York Times bestselling author of author of The Wind Done Gone and Rebel Yell

“At once heart-stopping and heartbreaking, DARK RAIN shows us what happens when good people avert their eyes as crimes are committed and then rationalize what they've done. Mat Johnson as always displays his deft and savage touch in injecting humanity into history.”
—Mark Winegardner, New York Times bestselling author of The Godfather Returns
