American comic

A full-page modern American comic book illustrated in a semi-realistic graphic novel style, arranged in a clean six-panel layout with thick black borders and white gutters. Professional digital comic illustration featuring crisp black ink linework, cinematic cel shading, rich colors, and dramatic lighting. The story follows a team of young investigators uncovering a supernatural mystery. Panel 1 shows four investigators inside a dim warehouse gathered around a large map under a single hanging industrial lamp: a smart man in a plaid blazer points at the map, a curly-haired man wearing sunglasses leans over, a tattooed woman wearing a black bucket hat and graphic T-shirt watches carefully, and a blonde woman dressed in black checks information on her smartphone. Shelves and stacked boxes fill the warehouse background. Panel 2 shows a beagle wearing a navy-blue hoodie and a bright red knit beanie sniffing an underground drain inside a dark alley while a thought bubble reads, "Something's definitely down there." Panel 3 depicts a blond investigator in a red sweater vest examining a glowing ancient artifact with a magnifying glass while another investigator records it using a professional handheld video camera. The floating artifact emits a warm golden light. Speech bubbles read, "Energy readings are off the charts!" and "Fascinating..." Panel 4 shows a young woman with shoulder-length black hair wearing a vivid orange patterned long-sleeve crop top and blue jeans projecting magical orange fire energy from her hand toward the floating artifact while the tattooed woman in the bucket hat watches with concern. The artifact glows intensely in the center. Panel 5 reveals the artifact projecting a glowing blue holographic world map above a pedestal while four investigators stand around it in amazement and one documents the discovery with a smartphone. Panel 6 is a dramatic close-up of three investigators illuminated by the artifact's blue glow while speech bubbles read, "It's a map... to the Lost City." and "Then we have our mission." A yellow caption box at the bottom reads, "TO BE CONTINUED..."
