Home / Black Monday Murders #1 (2016)
I liked this book, but I think that's more for the potential than the execution. Jonathan Hickman writes dense material, and in his indy work, loves to slather it with geographic charts and text. Sometimes it works wonderfully. Sometimes, not so much. Both take turns in this book. When there's not art provided by the devil's spyrograph, Tom Coker draws bleak, black panels of dread. One read told me it was worth the time. A second read announced it will almost certainly be better when we have all the pieces of the puzzle (hey, the puzzle looks like a graphic novel!). Be prepared to have the most intriguing parts of this issue pop and fade, waiting to be addressed in the future.
