2. Black Monday Murders

(Image Comics)

Oh, holy hell, I love this comic book.

It’s everything I love about David Fincher movies, combined with Jonathan Hickman's deep love of graphs.

The comic follows the premise that several Eldritch banks run the world economy through an arcane series of rituals and prayers to notable old gods. So, you know, just the way I always assumed the stock market worked. The creepy tone lends itself very well to making you uncomfortable, and the occasionally shocking visuals are solidly integrated. Tomm Coker's artwork is brooding and haunting and ethereal in parts. It all coalesces into a beautiful (and beautifully scary) series that I cannot recommend highly enough. This is not a book for the faint of heart. It's gory and gruesome and just good as hell.

All hail God Mammon.
