About the series
Garth Ennis and John McCrea reunited at DC for this 2009–2012, seven-issue series, a lean, hard-boiled return to the world of Tommy Monaghan, the psychic hitman of Gotham's underworld. Mixing Ennis's trademark black humor with McCrea's gritty, expressive art, the run delivers a tight, character-driven crime saga that cuts through the superhero spectacle of its era. It matters as a focused, creator-driven coda to their acclaimed late-1990s work, proving the duo's voice remained as sharp as ever.
