“Heart of Stone, Part I”

In The Monolith #1, a 3.50 USD comic from 2004, Alice Cohen inherits a house in Brooklyn from her grandmother—offering a rare escape from her harsh life. But the move brings her face to face with a hidden mystery in the basement, one she begins to uncover only after finding her grandmother’s cryptic diary. Written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, with art by Phil Winslade and cover by Phil Winslade, this first issue sets a quiet, eerie tone that hints at something far older—and far stranger—than it seems.
