The Black Monday Murders #2

Jonathan Hickman and Tomm Coker's occult financial thriller continues with this second issue, subtitled "A Story of Betrayal." Coker's cover art — rendered in stark black, white, and grey — commands attention with a broad-shouldered figure in a wide-brimmed hat and suit, pistol in hand, projecting quiet menace against a near-total darkness. The restrained palette and bold composition set a tone that feels equal parts noir detective story and something considerably more dangerous lurking beneath the surface.
