Fans of Richard A. Hamilton’s work in the graphic novel front will be thrilled to read Tectiv Vol. 1: Noirtopia, a new series about Bingo Finder looking at lost texts to inspire her to search for her missing best friend. But to solve this mystery, this young lady must fight for her own life and uncover a conspiracy within this fragile civilization.
Reading the preview offered through Google Books shows this author knows the genre completely, and he brings readers into the world like they’ve very lived in. The way the characters come alive is fantastic, and in what I sensed from Finder, she’s discovered the Library of Alexandria! Well, the place isn’t big, but that’s the sense of awe I got when looking at those pages illustrated by Marco Matrone.
I’ve always enjoyed everything Hamilton brings to any world, whether it’s from another creator’s work or not. Where he shines the most is when he gets to develop his own universe!
As previously reported, the first two volumes are available. This series is illustrated by Pablo Andrés. But for those who read the previous editions (a review of the first volume can be read here), and want to jump in with what will happen next for the intrepid reporter, Sophie’s outing continues on April 8, 2025 with SCOOP #3: #ScifiWitness!

From the official website:
While visiting Cuba with her mom, visions that reveal past mysteries—and point to future haunted Sophie’s troubles, like Milo witnessing a murder on a Miami movie set and the US Navy investigating strange creature sightings. The only way Soph can save them in time? By unearthing a crashed UFO!
After getting blasted by alien energy, Sophie takes a break from reality on a girls’ trip with her mom in Cuba. Their plan is to reconnect and retrace their family history—until eerie visions “show” her the fateful crash of a UFO in 1960 that has major ramifications on her life. And as she wraps her head around that, she glimpses a premonition of her friend, Milo, getting shot.
Desperate to save him, this young reporter comes clean about her extraterrestrial extracurricular activities—only for the Cuban Army to arrest her. Apparently, they aren’t too fond of American reporters on their soil. What follows is an eye-opening visit from a mad scientist, a jailbreak of intergalactic proportions, and a touching heart-to-heart between Soph and her mom that leaves both women feeling newfound appreciation and awe for each other.
