The Black Monday Murders, Volume 1 by Jonathan Hickman
3.0
Okay, so... that was a ride. I'm not gonna lie, I was heavily confused for the beginning portion of this graphic novel but the further I read, the more complex and intricately layered the book became which made it digestible and made the slow pace thrilling. I'm always going to be down for stories with anti-capitalist themes that explore the moral failings of billionaires/the deadly nature of greed. It reminded me of season 1 of Kollok1991 on YouTube with all of the Mammon talk and flesh payments (highly recommend Kollok btw, it's such a great TTRPG).
