Why this caught my eye:
I'm kind of give and take on Kane, but I like sci-fi hard-boiled noir so it's well worth checking out.

It's an intriguing pitch, and if done right can be a fun blend considering they're invoking Kirby and Brubaker.

Why this caught my eye:
I love it when horribly dysfunctional detectives have to solve terrible serial killer cases. That is seriously one of my oddly specific jams.
That's it for this batch, we'll check out some Marvel on the next round!
