From Booklist

The Unknown is a detective comic starring master detective Catherine Allingham and her ex-bouncer apprentice, James Doyle. Specializing in science and unsolvable crimes, the series begins with Allingham learning she has six months to live (a specter of death is watching over her) and determined to solve the ultimate mystery of what happens in the afterlife. In the meantime, she and Doyle jet off to Europe to assist a pair of physicists who have invented a superscale and may be victims of the very first Quantum Crime. Tight pacing, plenty of action, and Oosterveer’s moody artwork and sense of framing contribute to a considerable success. --Carlos Orellana
