Hickmania #9: The Black Monday Murders (W/ Harry Kassen!)

Hello and welcome to Comic Book Herald’s Hickmania, a series running through 2022 where we’ll be reading and analyzing the creator-owned works of writer Jonathan Hickman, from his debut The Nightly News through to his most recent output. We’ll be reading one creator-owned work a month through 2022, and each month I’ll release a new analysis with a new guest discussing the comic!

Today we’re talking The Black Monday Murdersand I’m joined by Harry Kassen! We’ll analyze the work in depth, so expect spoilers! In its incredibly inventive 8 issues, The Black Monday Murders is a remarkable (to be completed!) tale of magic, murder, mystery, money and the secret history of wealth!
