Fogtown is bold in its storytelling, an effort that is perhaps partially successful due to the story’s content in relation to its setting in the sterile 1950s. It’s set forth a new expectation of Vertigo Crime, at least for me. Simple noir revenge tales can no longer satisfying, not when I’ve tasted the potential for how much more a line like Vertigo Crime could bring to the genre.
