Today we’re reviewing Seven Wives #1 from IDW Crime, a brand-new imprint from IDW Publishing focused on modern creator-driven murder mysteries.

This oversized debut issue explores a homicide investigation inside a Fundamentalist religious compound and examines themes of control, belief systems, and truth within closed communities.

We also break down what the IDW Crime imprint is, what makes it unique, and the other upcoming titles launching in the line including Killer Influences and Fixation.

If you enjoy grounded crime comics or stories like Under the Banner of Heaven, this is a book worth preordering before Final Order Cutoff.
