Agent 47: Birth of the Hitman #1

Dynamite Entertainment brings the world's most precise assassin to comics with this 2017 launch of Agent 47: Birth of the Hitman. The cover by Philip Tan places the bald, steely-eyed Agent 47 in a crouch atop a concrete ledge, sniper rifle trained forward against a neon-lit cityscape glowing with electric blues and reds — all cold composure and coiled danger. Tan's dynamic linework and atmospheric lighting make this opener a genuinely striking introduction to the series.
