A week and a half away, we already know that Nonplayer by Nate Simpson from Image Comics will be the big breakout hit of 2011. It's a given. Joining Chew, Morning Glories, Skullkickers and 27 as Image breakout hits. But what else is coming out shortly that may challenge it?

The Next Nonplayer – Blue Estate?

Blue Estate by Viktor Kavalchev, Kiosta Yanev, Andrew Osbourne, Tony Cypress, Nathan Fox and Robert Valley,  is most definitely a noir comic, without any of the supernatural trappings of Undying Love and Green Wake. It's LA crime steeped in Hollywood with private detectives, red haired femme fatales with their own agenda, lots of money and a corrupt police force. It's smart, fresh, good looking and just the kind of thing anyone who enjoyed LA Confidential will lap up.

The Next Nonplayer – Blue Estate?

The first issue does fall under the trap of narrated events a little too much, almost like a Bluewater biography, but with much dirtier details and, of course, fictional.  And, yes, it seems perfect as a movie pitch. But hey, I like movie pitches, often more than the movies themselves…

Blue Estate is published by Image Comics on April 6th.
