Today we’re reviewing Neighborhood Watch #1 from BOOM! Studios, written by Sarah Gailey with art by Haining.

This new indie mystery thriller follows two residents from opposite communities — a gated HOA neighborhood and a neighboring collective — forced to work together after discovering a murder victim between their territories.

With a sharp premise, stylized artwork, and layered social commentary, this first issue delivers a strong opening mystery and could be one of the standout indie comics of the week.
