An unflinching modern noir from Matt Fraction and Kieron Dwyer, Last of the Independents follows Cole Caudle, a small-time criminal whose final job unravels into betrayal, violence, and loss. Fraction’s terse storytelling meets Dwyer’s hard-edged illustration to evoke a cinematic descent into greed and redemption. Sparse, fast, and tragic, it captures the disillusionment of post-Western Americana—a heist story stripped to its emotional core, where loyalty and survival collide under the desert sun.
