comment |
Blood & Smoke is an ongoing black and white webcomic created by Paul Mitzkowski. It is heavily inspired by noir and uses a number of the tropes associated with the genre.The story takes place in the fictional Newshade City, which is a corrupt town full of dirty cops and even dirtier politicians. It is about dedicated police detective John Carson, along with his partner Tom Hardigan, and his quest to, both, catch a brutal Serial Killer called The Heart Ripper and save Newshade from itself. Meanwhile, Carson's son John Carson Jr. (simply called Junior by his father) uses his skills as a hacker and amateur detective to start his own war against crime.The comic can be read here.Has been on hiatus since June 2017, though an announcement that the first volume was for sale was posted in January 2020. |

Brilliant, but Lazy: It is heavily implied that Junior is this. He is highly intelligent, so much so that he can build a functioning robot in the middle of class from scratch. Yet, he makes extremely poor grades in school. |

Only Bad Guys Call Their Lawyers: Carson's partner evokes this trope during a conversation. Turns out the trope is averted as the suspect discussed isn't guilty. |

Meaningful Background Event: A suspect is shown wearing and casually taking off a pair of gloves only for Carson to spot them in a trashcan a few pages later. These gloves end up proving that the suspect in question was the killer. |
