Black Monday Murders

I read the first four issues of The Black Monday Murders in e-versions.  Discounted e-versions. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I got the first two issues from the Image website for 99 cents apiece. And was interested enough to get issues 3 and 4 from Comixology--for cheap again, but @ more like $1.98 apiece this time. And I liked those issues well enough that I decided not to wait around for issue #5 any longer than I had to, and I bought it (1) off the stands @ The Great Escape & (2) for full price. And this week I not only bought the new issue #6 in print @ full price, but when I saw this



I decided to go for it, too.

The buying a comic book I already have usually only happens by accident. Senior moment type accident. And while there are a number of comics I first bought in print and then started buying in e-version (when they went on sale), there aren't many I started buying in e-version and then went to buying in print. I can only think of one, actually.

I have a hard time following the story in TBMMs, I'm sorry to admit. But the Tomm Coker art is just so good that I can't resist it. And Jonathan Hickman's writing has impressed the in the past, so I'm willing to take a little walk with him (chile).

Now ahmo go re-read the whole series straight through. I'll let you know what I figure out this time around.
