InThe One Hand , the protagonist is detective Ari Nassar , who previously caught the One Hand serial orca , or at least conceive he did .

By taking … “an interesting use … in a dialectical kind of narrative , " and injecting it into a classic neo - noir murder enigma , Ram V and Dan Watters have crafted one of the most piquant Image Comicsprojects right now : one narrative , across two books , make it at multiple accuracy , or perhaps none at all .
Picking up on what Dan Watters say , Ram V elaborated on the two perspective driving their storey :
I would in fact argue that they do n’t meet in the centre . They come in very close , and then decent as they ’re about to meet – they do n’t . And because every bit of that line has been fleshed out over five issues , when they do n’t meet in the middle , you ’re pull up stakes with a omit piece . You ’re left with a silhouette of what should exist in that midriff .
Ram stated that the dialectic between linear perspective between books – let in everything from their philosophic leanings to their presentment of ostensibly " objective " facts – does finally make it at some center ground , some form of synthesis . That said , it is uncompleted by design , as " the synthetic thinking also introduce you with a crack that neither of the single characters can see , because they ’ve only filled in one-half of the argument towards the end . "
Instead , " the only person to have had both sides of the argument is the reader , " Ram V say , " and sothe reader can see the chassis of the matter that is overlook . And I guess that is marvelous way to have a reveal in a mystery . " By taking what he called " an interesting exercise … in a dialectic sorting of tale , " and injecting it into a classical neo - noir murder mystery , Ram V and Dan Watters have craft one of the most engagingImage Comicsprojects decently now : one story , across two books , arriving at multiple truths , or perhaps none at all .
The One Hand#2andThe Six Fingers#2are useable now from Image Comics . The two serial publication alternative releases , every two week .
