  • The root of all evil...

    Alex B. - 4 years 2 months ago

    When a high-powered financier is found murdered and surrounded by esoteric occult symbols, one New York detective is inexorably drawn into the cultish underbelly of international finance. Jonathan Hickman's work often emphasizes mood over exposition, but also paradoxically relies on fully-formed world-building to tell a story. He's deployed this style to great effect and acclaim during his long run on Marvel's Avengers, as well as his own self-published work - but it fits exceptionally well with this turn to supernatural horror. For people who wished True Detective went all the way with its Lovecraft references.

  • A bourgeouis bloodbath!

    Alex B. - 5 years 1 month ago

    When a high-ranking Wall Street executive is found ritually murdered in his home, a New York City detective must delve into the dark underbelly of international finance. Jonathan Hickman has a real thing for occult forces corrupting the highest levels of power, and has finally managed to build a whole series around the idea. Hickman's knack for cryptic, ominous narration and acid-tongued dialogue works like gangbusters. Illustrator Tomm Coker brings the characters to vivid life, balancing his own sketchy, impressionistic style with incredibly lifelike renderings. A real dark delight. Imagine if True Detective actually delivered on its supernatural Lovecraftian allusions.
