Posted on by


The White Suits is a four issue mini-series created by Frank Barbiere & Toby Cypress published by Dark Horse Comics.

Writer: Frank Barbiere

Artist / Colorist: Toby Cypress

The White Suits, scourges of Russia’s underworld, have declared war on New York’s organized crime. But NYC’s crime overlords have their own army of Russian mercenaries hunting the Suits, with FBI agent Sarah Anderson and the former Suit known as Prizrak certain to be caught in the crossfire!

*** Beware – minor spoilers are found below ***

The Good

  • Frank Barbiere’s story requires you to think and Toby Cypress’ art makes you pay attention.
  • The White Suits is a crime comic that encompasses a mystery or two or three but never at the sake of action.
  • Cypress’ art  this issue is not quite as loose but still unique.
  • The black and white art with a splash of color works!
  • The huge Russian merc is a woman!

The Bad:

  • The jumps in time aren’t spelled out.  To those who complain, pay attention to the art, colors, word balloons, etc.].
  • Cypress’ art is loose… and won’t be to everyone’s taste.
  • The position Anderson and Pizrak are in on the last page of the issue.

The Ugly:

  • The big Russian female merc when you insult her… and even when you don’t.

The White Suits is not for all audiences since it contains adult language and violence.
