Issue #23 of The Fuse (2016) continues the gritty, atmospheric narrative that has made this sci-fi crime series a standout in the creator-owned comic landscape. Brought to you by writer Antony Johnston and artist Justin Greenwood, this instalment dives deeper into the dark underbelly of life aboard Midway City, a space station orbiting Earth and home to half a million people living in cramped conditions, corruption, and constant tension.

This issue propels the series forward with gripping developments that push its core characters, Detectives Klem Ristovych and Ralph Dietrich, to the brink. With a tone that feels like The Wire meets Blade Runner, The Fuse #23 doesn’t hold back—it’s smart, grounded science fiction mixed with tightly plotted procedural drama. Whether you're a follower of the entire run or looking to complete your collection, this is an essential chapter that builds toward the powerful final arc.

The artwork by Justin Greenwood remains both raw and dynamic, capturing the claustrophobic corridors, neon-lit streets, and grim realities of space-station life with expressive energy. The visual pacing supports the tension and character drama perfectly, making each panel feel like a shot from a well-produced TV series. Meanwhile, Shari Chankhamma’s colour work adds depth and mood, enhancing the immersive quality of this stellar indie series.
