SELECT PRAISE FOR THE GOOD ASIAN:

The Good Asian mixes its many influences with its very modern stakes to create a unique brew. Entertainment Weekly

Has all the trappings of a noir tale, but also tackles questions of race, immigration, and 'respectability politics.' All wrapped up in a thrilling mystery. Fortune

Heavily researched and rooted in real life, the result is something that feels and ground-breaking, while continuing to honor the traditions of the stories it draws on, both real and imagined. Variety

The surroundings will seem and feel instantly familiar to those who know the historic San Francisco neighborhood. But the comics title character, Edison Hark, a Chinese American detective who is trying to track down a missing person in 1936, is decidedly new. The San Francisco Chronicle

Rich with history, style, and emotion, Image Comics The Good Asian delivers noir excellence at every turn. The AV Club

What is great about this seriesbeyond nuanced characters, gorgeously mood-setting art, and an impressively layered story aided by historical consultants on the creative teamis that it's simply a good noir. The tone, the twists, the double-crosses... they would all fit among the best film noirs of the '40s and '50s. This is the kind of textured plotting you might expect from Raymond Chandler if he were writing today. Thrillist

Does not center around superheroes. It is instead a detective story with all the elements of a good noir...Tefenkgis drawings in sepia, orange, gray and black enhance the dark ambiance of the story. Asian Review of Books
