Black Monday Murders #1

Where high finance meets the occult, this opening chapter — subtitled "Gloire à Mammon" — announces itself with one of the most unsettling cover images of 2018: a figure in an immaculate business suit, its head replaced by a ram's skull with sweeping horns, calmly reading a business newspaper while a brandy glass and crystal decanter sit nearby. Jonathan Hickman, Tomm Coker, and Michael Garland have crafted a series whose central tension — that money is a dark and hungry god — is communicated entirely through this single, chilling tableau. If you've been looking for a comic that treats Wall Street as a genuine horror setting, this is a compelling place to start.
