Description
The Thompson and Anderson family saga concludes here!
Marcus and Hunter are still dealing with family sins and secrets, but now they have a few of their own.
Reeling from a death in the family, Marcus is pulled into Hunter's plans to rob a bank and a safety deposit box with Marcus's family inheritance. A robbery that will put Andrea, Marcus's mom, in the path of violence and force her to choose between doing anything to protect her family and her conscience. But Marcus is sick of being manipulated by Hunter and has a scheme of his own. And Hunter is finally reaching the end of his road to revenge, a road that his mom, Linda, makes one last attempt to convince him is wrong. But Hunter must decide for himself if it's a path he wants to stay on, especially since his old high school friend Lorena, now a detective, has discovered his plans. Lorena is committed to taking down Hunter, but her last case might be the death of her or of her relationship with her girlfriend, Ann.

Advance Praise
"From Booklife for Act 4:
""The knockout conclusion of a smart and humane graphic novel crime series... killer street-level crime storytelling, with sincere interest in the hard circumstances that lead to a criminal life and the complex and squalid mess that crime leads to...The storytelling is tense, taut, and emotionally resonant, the silent panels of characters going about their days, weighed down by worries, every bit as suspenseful as the action...The conclusion proves satisfying, though new readers are advised to start with the first collection.""
From Booklife for Act 1:
""""Romera's dynamic black-and-white art fits both the noir aesthetic and the recurring theme of being 'born out of darkness into light.'
Takeaway: This illustrated crime thriller will entice fans of family sagas and tangled revenge plots.
Great for fans of Alan Moore's Watchmen, Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips's The Fade Out.""
From Write with Light Publications:
""A graphic novel that steals your attention from start to finish.
From Fanbase Press:
""""Standal has great range as a writer...This is one of those series that really benefits from a reread of what came before and will make for a great trade paperback when the time comes...Juan Romera's art on this book is a perfect fit. The series is black and white, very fitting for the noir theme running throughout, and gives off a definite Walking Dead vibe.""
From Pipedream Comics:
""""The whole comic is starting to feel like The Wire...and, certainly, the clean, crisp simple line-work of Juan Romera reads like a storyboard with clearly defined and distinguishable characters...Romera's artwork reminds us of David Mazzuchelli on Batman: Year One crossed with the late and lamented Darwyn Cook, all bold but simple brushstrokes and strong shadow work giving life to each panel.""
From Comic Booked:
""""As a whole, Rebirth of the Gangster is a fantastic noir series with a cool, nostalgic art style and an engaging crime story...As in all of the previous issues, C.J. Standal crafts these characters in a believable, down to earth and empathetic way, without parodies or caricatures. C.J. is good at breaking down people, and situations, to where we feel for them and can even imagine ourselves in their situations.""
From Graphic Policy:
""So, good story? Check. Diverse cast? Check. Solid art? Check. This is a comic to check out and support.""
