Home / Underheist #1 cover a lapham
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.
