About the series
Jonathan Hickman and Tomm Coker’s The Black Monday Murders (Image, 2017–2018) is a dense, occult-inflected crime thriller that imagines high finance as a blood-soaked ritual, where Wall Street’s titans wield ancient magic alongside their portfolios. Over its two-issue run, the series follows a detective investigating a series of murders tied to a secretive cabal of bankers, blending Hickman’s trademark intricate world-building with Coker’s moody, atmospheric art. Though brief, this Image series stands out for its audacious premise—treating economic power as literal sorcery—and its stark, noirish visual storytelling.
