Wicked Things 3, 4, 5 and 6

John Allison's Wicked Things story is continued in volumes 3 through 6.  Here we see the main character Charlotte Grote beginning her work investigating crimes for the police while she awaits her fate as an accused murderer. Grote is accused of killing a Japanese teen who was her competitor for a teen sleuth award.  He will be able to tell the police who attacked him when he comes out of a coma.  She is given an apartment to live in but must wear an electronic tracking device.

Grote is assigned to make coffee for the police officers.  They don't trust her to do police work until she comes up with a tip on how a burglary that they are investigating occurred.  Thousands of copies of the hottest new cell phone were stolen from a factory.  Grote figures out that this was an inside job and that the phones could have been sold in a pop-up shop.  She and the police track the phones to a pop-up shop but it had already been shut down with the thieves disappearing.  She then  goes undercover at a casino while the police investigate a robbery. Surprisingly, at the end of volume 6 Grote is released from custody as she has been absolved of the murder of the teen sleuth.

I love this comic and hate to see it end with volume 6. It was hard to wait for each new volume to be published as the plot moved fast and each volume had a suspenseful ending. Wicked Things had a great run in 2020. The first volume was published in March 2020 and the series ended in October 2020. It is a continuation of the Giant Days comic. I wonder what is next for author John Allison?
