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.

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.
