Gooseberry Returns!

March, 1779. The American Revolution is in full swing, and the British are about to open a silent, devastating new front against their rebellious colonies: economic warfare. It's time to return to...


The New Amsterdam Game is a series of historical noir one-shots following the mysterious Gooseberry, a masked vigilante destabilizing British operations in occupied New York City. Combining the acrobatic tension of Batman with the swashbuckling spirit of The Mask of Zorro, this is a story of blades, shadows, and systemic sabotage.

"Gooseberry's Counterfeit Caper" is a standalone 24-page mission. While returning readers will find familiar faces, new readers can jump in with no prior knowledge required. No convoluted backstories—just high-stakes history.

If you're a fan of:
  • Historical Espionage: Turn: Washington's Spies or Cooper’s The Spy
  • Classic Swashbucklers: Captain Blood and The Count of Monte Cristo
  • Street-Level Noir: Batman: Year One or Daredevil

New to The New Amsterdam Game? Want the whole story so far? Don't worry - we have a reward tier just for you!

With dynamic pencils and inks by Michael Bruland, stunning colors by Linda Scott Campbell, and gripping letters by Justin Birch, you know you will be the proud owner of a quality independent comic!
