Prohibition-era crime noir meets the occult in Oni Press' new ongoing, The Damned, which got its start in a pair of miniseries originally published from 2006-2008. Despite the previous eight issues, this new series promises a fresh starting point for new readers with a hard-boiled tale of demons, mobsters, demon mobsters, curses, and the nefarious economy of mortal souls. Does it live up to its promise? Read ahead to find out while I develop a soft spot for gutter rats.
