It's drawn by Jacob Phillips, whose coloring work you might've seen on a couple Ed Brubaker/Sean Phillips books (like Pulp last week), and written by Chris Condon.
The first issue opened in Ambrose County, on Sheriff Joe Bob Coates' 70th birthday.
He was on duty, picking up a casserole dish his wife'd lent out.

(Condon and Phillips use a similar " negative space " effect for the panel borders in their currently-Patreon-exclusive Brutal Dark.)

Later that day, Joe was watching the road and talking to his wife.

(She calls him on the radio because she doesn't like her cell phone.)

The redness of Ray hit him.

Ray pulled his trigger.

(It's a really good job of coloring here, differentiating between the wet blood splatter and the dry stain.)

(Pagecount's 6 and a little more than 6/10th of 21 from issue #1. #2 came out last week.
