STAKED OUT. STRUNG OUT. DEADLINE’S UP.
In the smog-soaked underbelly of 1980s Chicago, two detectives — one too young to know better, one too old to care — find themselves stuck on the city’s longest, coldest, dumbest stakeout.
But when the case spirals into something far bigger — mob ties, crooked feds, and maybe a body in the trunk — these reluctant partners have to untangle a mess of lies, bullets, and bad coffee.
“Stakeout Kings” is a hardboiled buddy cop comic with cigarette smoke in its lungs and sarcasm in its badge.
Tense pacing, sharp banter, and vintage noir style — brought to you by Ghost Note Blackout.
“Chicago’s worst stakeout. The city’s last hope.”

STAKEOUT KINGS #1: HEAT CHECK
Chapter Synopsis:
Two detectives. One steaming sedan. Zero patience left.
It’s the hottest week of the year in 1980s Chicago, and veteran cop Royce Denton is stuck training rookie smartass Eli Mercer on what should’ve been a routine stakeout — watch the door, don’t get seen, and don’t kill each other. But after 12 hours of bad coffee, sweat-soaked shirts, and Mercer’s non-stop jabbering, something finally happens:
The guy they’re watching is already dead.
And someone else just got in through the back.
Now Royce and Eli are neck-deep in a city-wide mess involving a crooked informant, a mob-connected jazz club, and a briefcase that no one will admit exists — but everyone’s willing to kill for.
This isn’t just a stakeout anymore.
It’s a heat check — and only one of them’s still shooting straight.
