Superstar writer Greg Rucka (WHITEOUT, DETECTIVE COMICS) embarks on his first creator-owned series since the Eisner Award-winning QUEEN & COUNTRY! Dex is the proprietor of Stumptown Investigations, and a fairly talented P.I. Unfortunately, she's less adept at throwing dice than solving cases. Her recent streak has left her beyond broke-she's into the Confederated Tribes of the Wind Coast for 18 large. But maybe Dex's luck is about to change. Sue-Lynne, head of the Wind Coast's casino operation, will clear Dex' debt if she can locate Sue-Lynne's missing granddaughter. But is this job Dex's way out of the hole or a shove down one much much deeper?

BONUS REVIEW by Tom Gronkowski
Greg Rucka returns to his indie roots with this excellent debut issue from
Oni Press. The story concerns a young female private investigator named
Dex looking into the disappearance of a young woman in Portland, while
care-taking for her younger brother and battling a gambling addiction.
After running Daredevil aground and penning a string of lackluster DC
books, Rucka definitely has a winner here, and fans of Whiteout, Queen and
Country and Felon should certainly check this out.
