Hitman #5

Part 2 of "Ten Thousand Bullets" arrives with a cover by John McCrea that wastes no time establishing the tone: a massive, bat-cowled figure dominates the image, chains wrapped around its fists, looming over two battered men who look decidedly worse for wear against a moody city-night backdrop. The bold cover tagline — "Enter: Nightfist! He Will Hit You With His Fist!" — tells you everything you need to know about the irreverent humor Garth Ennis and McCrea are bringing to this 1996 DC series. If you've been following Tommy Monaghan's story, this installment looks set to deliver more of the gleefully unhinged action the series has already made its calling card.
