This may be my favorite comic now. After Good Omens I thought Neil Gaiman's writing may not be for me, but I think I just wanted to see a faster-paced story from him. I recommend this for everyone, but skip 24 Hours if you can't stomach edgy 90's psycho horror. And skip the intro, it has spoilers.
Graphic: Addiction, Body horror, Confinement, Death, Drug abuse, Drug use, Hate crime, Misogyny, Terminal illness, Blood, Vomit, Murder, Lesbophobia, and Sexual harassment
Moderate: Child death, Homophobia, Sexual content, Torture, Violence, and Car accident
Minor: Rape
24 Hours is the one with most of the content warnings, but it is possible to skip. It details a horrific episode of psychological torture and a worldwide epidemic of madness committed by Doctor Dee. All you need to know is he did unforgivable things with the crystal.
