Any crime comic recommendations?

Hi all. I'm trying to look for some mature crime comics to read, particularly with a focus on organized crime or police procedurals similar to shows like Breaking Bad and The Sopranos and manga/anime like Black Lagoon, Cowboy Bebop or Baccano. Mysteries and slashers/thrillers are also fine but I'd definitely prefer the former. You can promote your own stuff if you want as well.

Webcomics of this genre seem to be extremely hard to find on both Line and Tapas and they're often clumped together with other action comics of different genres. I'd really appreciate some recommendations!

@AilyneGouveia has an exciting crime comic that I strongly recommend!

This will almost certainly scratch your itch. The writing is really good. It kinda turns into.... Metal Gear Solid later? But still, I think you'll like it!

If you don't mind a bit of GL mixed in and spending some ink, maybe try:

Modern Fantasy setting, but it's kind of a police procedural about a young woman from a secluded fundamentalist community trying to track down her missing family members and joining basically the magic police to unravel the mystery. Has a sort of "buddy cop" vibe.

This one is a straight up heist story with organised crime, glamorous casinos etc:

Thank you so much for recommending my comic !

Also @miniscule here are some other recommendations for you (They are more professional than mine, I'm just an hobbyist ^^')

I think Kings Club will never be ended, it's been 2 years since the creator didn't gave any news, i just hope she's doing well

I'll also keep my eyes on this thread since it IS hard to find good crime stories and it's one of my favourite genres ^^

I remember reading that a while back when I first got into webcomics. I remembered the art being really good and the premise was really unique. Shame it stopped though.
