This issue was a pleasant surprise. I think the fun lies in the concept -- it toes the line between establishing some emotional weight for the characters, and still approaching from a place of surreal wackiness. I genuinely had no idea where it was going, and I loved that. The visuals are ok, but it was the narrative in this one that kept me reading.

Just top-notch fun from start to finish. The subject matter demands all manner of insane shenanigans, and they're off to an excellent start. Witty, wacky, and full of energy. Can't wait to see where they take it.

Retcon #1 easily ratcheted my interest in this series up a few points. Although it's still unclear how exactly how the retconning is playing out here, this comic has a lot to recommend it. Some of the complaints I've seen, that the narrative is hard to follow, are really exaggerated. The core plot is quite focused and clear, leaving some interesting questions to be picked up in future issues. The chaotic art is well-suited to the material so far. A chilling, action-packed debut!

Everything I was hoping for. A big issue for Dumas and the Dr, and we get some more specifics about the nature of sacrifice and the market. Some further exposition for Caina and others as well. Not a dull moment with The Black Monday Murders! Definitely recommended.
