- Опубликовано: 6 ноя 2022
- 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 Murders and 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!
Topics today include:
Is this Hickman's best comic?
How do these 8 issues predict House of X and Powers of X?
Will The Black Monday Murders ever finish? What mysteries are we most excited about if it does?
The Black Monday Murders is:
Writer: Jonathan Hickman
Artist: Tomm Coker
Colors: Michael Garland
Letters: Rus Wooton
Publisher: Image

Surprised y’all didn’t discuss Det. Dumas more. His backstory, skill set and last action in the book have been the most intriguing ex-factor. Especially if you include the historical socio-economical relationships to Dumas ethnicity and it’s juxtaposition to the four banking families. It’s ripe for transition and/or blank check to make a grand statement. Think Neha’s relationship and impact on Madame Moorely in Decorum, but more emphasis on money and power, instead of class and might (though the two groups of status are tied).
He’s Haitian, right? Yeh it’s not a coincidence he’s descended from slaves who revolted and won, while he’s facing eldritch masters
@@Neuroticmancer I believe he is Haitian. Grand parents were reading bones (I forget the cultural term), doing divinations. He had that connection to the spiritual/occult. Definitely deserved more discussion IMO, there is more to unpack there. Still a really good convo on a book not nearly discussed enough because of it being incomplete and coming out right before HOX/POX industry takeover lol. Dig your name btw. William Gibson is dope ;) #Neuromancer #Wintermute
We need that last volume! Come on Tomm Coker!

A Hickman podcast cheaaaa 😁😁😁
I’ve really enjoyed this hickmania series! Great re-reads. But I’ve been waiting for the Decorum edition for months did I miss it??
No, the scheduling fell through and then I just kind of moved on! BUT if enough folks ask for it... it could happen :)
Also, thank you!
@@Comicbookherald hey yeah I would still love to get you to see it all the way to the end, just 2 more to go Decorum and 3W3M!!
This is so unprofessional. So many of Hickman's projects are unfinished. People invest money buying the issues and then don't get a finished project. This is the reason why I stopped buying comics. No wonder why the industry is dying.
Tomm Coker has been horribly ill and Ryan Bodenheim died. Not sure what you want from them.
@@brotherjustincrowe It's not just those two projects. So many of his other projects were unfinished or had massive delays. It's not just the artist's fault. Simping for them just makes the problem worse.
@@justonefyx Ah yes, simping for a guy who slowly died and passed away too young. Incredible.
@@brotherjustincrowe I'm talking about simping for the writer. My criticism this whole time has been for Hickman only. If the artist is sick, get a new artist. Finish the product; on time. It's the professional thing to do. Like I said, his other projects are delayed and unfinished. The problem is with him, not the artists.
Not simping for anyone, man. Do you k ow how creator-owned comics work? It’s not easy from a legal point of view to just…but back half of someone else’s ownership in a property, and seems downright mean to do to someone merely for the very human happenstance of getting ill (not to mention very ableist).
