HIGH ROLLERS #3
Written by Gary Phillips
Drawn by Sergio Carrera
24pgs, FC, SRP: $3.99
Diamond Code: JUN083750

Award-winning mystery novelist Gary Phillips came to BOOM! with the best idea they’d heard yet. THE SOPRANOS was the soap opera of upper-class mob life. What do you get, Gary asked, when you transplant that tension to the African-American gangs in inner-city L.A.? Answer- you get the story of CQ, a young man who thought the mob was his family, until it turned on him, forcing him to fight against California’s crime families to stay alive! A potent mix of AMERICAN GANGSTER and THE WIRE for fans of Brubaker’s CRIMINAL.

Oh, if only Wrighty’s idea of “exacting justice” didn’t involve hot tar, we’d make him a BOOM! editor.

But can he find out what it is before the thin shield of human steel shatters beneath an irresistible hail of warpstone bullets? Features two alternate covers, both by Karl Richardson.
