A MAN CROSSES A LINE HE CAN'T COME BACK FROM.
In a world where consequences aren’t debated-they’re enforced-Ben Mason is what comes after.
Blackline: City of Killers is a dark, grounded graphic novel blending crime, tension, and controlled violence into a cinematic experience unlike anything in the genre.
"THE LINE DECIDES."
Sometimes it’s the law. Sometimes it’s something worse. When you cross the Blackline, there’s only one thing waiting on the other side.
See It Come Alive.
Blackline: City of Killers — Panel Preview Reel · Volume 1 — A Hero Is Born
2050. THE WORLD BROKE.
Blackline isn’t a place. It isn’t a person. It’s a threshold.
Mass unemployment, disease, violence, and climate change have laid waste to much of the world. Cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York have regressed into primitive states of violence and decay.
Police forces are understaffed-half of them corrupt anyway. Violent crime soars. The ultra-rich hire trillion-dollar private security firms. The poor are left for dead.
In this world, the moment someone goes too far… what comes after is consequence.
