Not Just Another Manic Monday
May 23, 2016
Everyone has a price. Jonathan Hickman (East of West, The Manhattan Projects) delves into the financial transactions that make the world work, the price that those who control the world's financial resources will pay to see that their power is uninterrupted, and the source of that power in his new series with Tomm Coker from Image Comics, The Black Monday Murders (JUN160575).
In Hickman's hands, the global financial system is more than just a mechanism to facilitate world trade and consolidate power. It's also a source of magic, driven by occult rituals that wield influence over politicians, business leaders, corner store owners, even the little girl and her lemonade stand in the suburbs. The secrets at the center of the global financial web are so dangerous that there are cadres of assassins who will do whatever it takes to protect those secrets and ensure that the levers of power continue to be worked uninterrupted. The Black Monday Murders is a book certain to make you think about the way the world works, and it could only come from the mind of Jonathan Hickman!
Look for The Black Monday Murders (JUN160575) from Image Comics in the Premier Comics section of the June PREVIEWS catalog!
