Torpedo #1

A sharp-dressed hitman lounges in a plush armchair — newspaper in one hand, pistol casually in the other — projecting the kind of dangerous cool that defines Torpedo from its very first page. Writer Sanchez Abuli and artist Jordi Bernet bring their celebrated crime series to this handsome IDW collection, and that stark black-and-white cover design sets the tone perfectly: stylish, noir-drenched, and just a little menacing. If hard-boiled crime comics are your thing, Volume One is a thoroughly satisfying place to start.
