The themes usually revolve around crime, justice, and society. They explore how society creates and deals with criminals. The art style also plays a big role. It can be gritty and dark, like in 'Sin City', to enhance the mood of the criminal world.
One characteristic is the complex characters. They often have ambiguous moralities, not simply good or bad. For example, in many such novels, a character might be a criminal but also have a sympathetic backstory.
