‘Neighborhood Watch’ Pits Two Neighborhoods Against Each Other In A Race To Solve A Murder

Writer Sarah Gailey has already created several killer series including Know Your Station and Eat the Rich. And now, it looks like she’s going to pull off a hat trick of terror with Neighborhood Watch, a new BOOM! Studios series with artist Haining.

Here’s the synopsis, per BOOM!

Jill Hewett, community leader and wife of a respected police officer, has turned up dead with a gunshot wound in a tunnel connecting the Will Harbor Gated Community with the neighboring Open Arms Collective.

And now, the VP of the HOA and the Kitchen Steward of the Collective have stumbled upon her body at the exact same time—instantly casting blame across the already fragile divide.

Forced into an uneasy alliance to uncover the truth, they’ll need to work together to unearth the secrets both communities hold to figure out who’s responsible for the crime—and what they could possibly gain from it.

And just what was Jill doing in the tunnel in the first place?

Given how gross and wild Gailey’s previous series have gotten, this should be a fun one. And in advance of the release of Neighborhood Watch #1 on April 8, BOOM! has provided covers by Tula Lotay and Haining (additional covers will be by Suspiria Vilchez and Jenny Frison), as well as designs by Haining and several unlettered, uncolored interior pages. Check ’em out below… If you dare!
