This is has officially went off the rails because there are too many messed up moments happening that I could do without but I get what they add to the portrayal of these barbaric, self indulgent and greedy cannibals. Only Hickman can marry Wall Street, the federal reserve, colonial Spain and demons among many others all chasing that elusive mammon sacrificing many in its path.
Dumas is still not really the good guy here. He uses black magic of other demons to guide him and wants to join in but a price will be paid no matter what. Nobody enters or uses that realm without losing everything including himself at the end. Coker and Garland are a great art team! more

A super dark story that's a great metaphor for what is really happening in today's society. It's quite clear that Mammon is not THE main devil but one of many. Coker's art and Garland's colors are fantastic!

Methodical and deliberate in every word and panel. Hickman and Coker put the work in here. I'm fully onboard with the unfolding world and the tale told of the dark forces. My only gripe is that no true essence of light has been brought in yet because Detective Dumas is not a true agent of light but merely playing a different dark force tapping the same well (as of now).

Hickmanesque comics at its finest. The driest world building of a Wall Street noir drama where I fill in the blanks as I go within such great dialogue. This is well done. Tomm coker is perfect for this dark story. Well detailed with a mix Deadoto and Alvaro Martinez styles.

Great series with a zany ending! Zdarsky and Quinones delivered.

I'm onboard with the shenanigans by Zdarsky and Quinones. Quinones has gone from delivering 110% on art for a very long time to a mix of great stuff with rushed pages but nothing that bad. This book is stupid funny and I like it.

Great way to do this! Zdarsky is great at these shenanigans. Quinones had his weakest issue from his whole run which is not bad. Plenty of pages were great A+ work but a few others were very rushed.

Wow I thought Zdarsky has lost the initial spark with Howard but I was wrong. This was as good as the early issues. Just a perfect comedy! Kevin Maguire is the perfect fill in artist and I wish he did more interiors.

Shenanigans!

Great fun from story to art. This is great!

Linda, Shocket and Dee as an unusual family trio was introduced perfectly by Zdarsky. I actually cared for them by the end. Veronica Fish brought it with her cartoony yet expressive art.

The charm and hilarious antics of Howard the Duck from Zdarsky is still coming through and the art from Quinones is top notch! This is a gem!

Great stuff from Zdarsky and Quinones! I'm so glad I read this one. Now looking for the next volume!

This book is a riot! Quinones is a perfect match for this looniness.

Great stuff! Zdarsky from this era was pure comedy gold! It feels like I'm in the 80s or 90s but still current at the same time. Quinones is so good too! I love this book!

This was hilarious from Zdarsky. Had me laughing multiple times: Mon!Tage! Joe Quinones delivers great art that lands all the comedic moments perfectly!

Much better than gang war. Nice stories from Zeb Wells with great art from Carmen Carnero and Todd Nauck.

A steady good story as a one off tie-in. Wells can do some good stuff but his overall storytelling is still very disjointed. I'm glad I escaped spoilers because I'll read Blood Hunt as a Trade later. Hate it or love it, at this level Romita Jr. delivers his consistent art as was issue 1 thanks to the same inker Scott Hanna and colorist Marcio Menyz being there the whole time. It works for me even if it feels like I'm re-reading a story from 15 years ago. I miss Todd Nauck already but I'll enjoy McGuinness around the corner for the 50th. I just Hope Wells can deliver but my hopes are very low at this point. more

What can I say? I enjoyed it as the soap opera that it is even with how dirty Ben is being treated. It's a step up over what came way back when but it all feels temporary. The detailed artwork from Todd Nauck is simply great! The shadows alone make me appreciate him. He deserves more ASM in his future. The colors from Sonia are perfect. Somber and subdued and not overly bright or popping which works well here. Kudos to her! more
