Everyone loves a good mystery; the kind that hooks you and refuses to let go until the plot unravels in twisty, surprising, and satisfying ways. The best ones—from Gone Girl to Serial to Tiger King—leave us pondering them days after completion. Comics, graphic novels, and manga deliver mind-bending mysteries, too, with the added bonus of beautiful, immersive visual storytelling. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the comics medium might be the best way to dive into a good mystery.
