Product Description
From Amazon.com
When Tommy and Natt roll an 800-pound dead guy across a burger joint for cover under the blazing guns of SAS agents out for vengeance, you know you're experiencing another hilariously and sometimes disgustingly weird collection of Garth Ennis and John McCrea's Hitman. Who Dares Wins, the compilation of issues 23 through 28 of the series, can be a bit hard to swallow at first. After all, the unflappable Monaghan just dealt with a ridiculously well-armed demon from hell (among other things) in Ace of Killers, so why's he so afraid of some crummy British commandos anyway? But the killer team of Ennis and McCrea still manage a credible drop in tempo here, heavy on the brogue and honor with a team of Her Majesty's finest out to collect on an old debt. Throw in Mafia don Men's Room Louie (also out to kill Monaghan--who isn't these days?), and you have another well-paced, bullet-to-the-head adventure. --Paul Hughes

Not as bad as it's made out to be.,
By "daredevilx61" (Land of Cheese, Rivers of Miller) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hitman: Who Dares Wins (Paperback)
All of this is but opinion, but this installment of the Hitman series is not worth ignoring. Garth Ennis' writing is great on an emotional level, if you just take it as it comes. It causes Tommy and Natt to examine themselves, which is interesting. It's also interesting to see the lengths the SAS guys go to to get their hands on Tommy and Natt. The ending is good in execution. Although you can easily see it coming, it doesn't matter. The intensity of it is great, if you think about it as a movie (Visualize, man!). The only reason I give this 4 stars is that it isn't as good as Ace of Killers (Which I feel is the best in the Hitman series.), and the Irish slang is a bit hard to get around at times. Quick commentary: It would seem that DC has ceased to print the further adventures of Hitman in TPB format. It's a pity that it had to be so early in the series. Hitman fans should get together and tell DC we want the rest, just like how they published all of Preacher.

Deceiving,
This review is from: Hitman: Who Dares Wins (Paperback)
The only thing I can say about this book is don't buy it! Tommy Monaghan didn't deserve that. The first 4 books of the series are so good, I'd advise to stay on that good impression.This last one is messy with a lot less humour and many more casualties. Right I was deceived by Garth Ennis who made much much better than this.

Good story...but a big confusing.,

This review is from: Hitman: Who Dares Wins (Paperback)
To be honest...I love Hitman. LOVE IT. I have gone so far as to purchase art from the series I love it that much. But this was the only story line I thought was just a little to convaluted. I was confused half the time reading this trying to figure out who is who, and what was going on. I have a feeling Garth was writing this from the heart because some of the language that the charecters use is hard to read (he uses alot of Irish Slang)...other than that...if you are a Fan...pick it up!
