If you're not already on board the Jonathan Hickman train, The Black Monday Murders #1 probably won't be the book to win you over. This is Hickman at his most dense, laying out an entire new universe through a combination of sequential storytelling, prose segments and those complex charts he loves so much. But if not the most approachable first issue Hickman has ever written, it's easily one of his most enthralling.
Readers definitely get their money's worth in this oversized debut issue. Hickman has crafted a world where the global financial system is controlled by schools of devil-worshiping magicians. Where the majority of Hickman's work leans towards science fiction, this series is equal parts gritty crime drama and Lovecraftian horror story. It almost feels like the kind of story Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips would cook up, though there's no mistaking the dialogue and general presentation here.
