Gods Among Men – "Where No Idea Is a Bad Idea… in Theory"

If you've run Breaking Bad into the ground and need a fresh, addictive fix—without resorting to actual narcotics—then Gods Among Men might just be your next obsession. This true crime noir, set in the gritty underbelly of Australia, is anything but a light read. With a narrative steeped in crime, moral ambiguity, and a constant sense of unease, trust is a currency no character can afford to spend recklessly. Proceed with caution—spoiler police are on high alert.

We’re thrown into the chaos alongside Jason Lee, our protagonist, who finds himself deep in the lion’s den. How did he get here? Well, rewind a little, and we see the moment where things begin spiralling out of control. Jason owns Rize Burgers, a hipster burger joint that—like many small businesses—struggles to stay afloat in a brutal economy. The solution? A business model so absurd it just might work: catering to late-night cravings for both food and illicit substances. "Got the midnight munchies and need a safe place to indulge?" Rize Burgers has you covered. A great idea… in theory.

While the storyline alone is gripping, the art style is just as intoxicating. Imagine the boldness of a DC comic but with an extra layer of grit and ambience, perfectly capturing the high-stakes tension and moral decay of its world. And as any great comic should, it even manages to make food look mouthwatering enough to make you consider eating the page.

No surprise, then, that Gods Among Men smashed its Kickstarter goal in under an hour. It’s got everything a crime-thriller enthusiast could want—high-stakes drama, morally grey choices, and a visual style that pulls you straight into its underworld. If you're looking for something to keep your Breaking Bad-shaped hole filled, this comic might just be the perfect fix.
