Product Description
From Amazon
As if Garth Ennis's Preacher series weren't cool enough, Ennis (backed by the tight compositions of John McCrea) mixes it up again with his brilliantly depraved Hitman series. Cleverly written, expertly paced, plenty violent, and wildly funny, this particular arc pulls together issues 15 through 22 of Hitman. The set catches Tommy Monaghan just as he's dodging a beatdown at the hands of Hell-sent, badass Mawzir, a 10-foot-tall skeletal demon with a contract on Monaghan's head and enough ordnance to keep all six of his bony arms blazing through most of the story. A cross between Kurt Russell in Big Trouble in Little China and Chow Yun-Fat, Monaghan yet again bluffs, bumbles, and blasts his way from one frying pan into the next. Check out this installment to see the old gang, the Catwoman (Monaghan improvises a Cat Signal with a dead tabby), an extended appearance by Jason Blood/Etrigan, a "fistful of justice" from Section Eight (including the Dog Welder and the Defenestrator), and--but of course--unapologetically irresponsible amounts of gunfire. --Paul Hughes

Ennis and McCrea Strike Again,
This review is from: Hitman: The Ace of Killers (Paperback)
The always excellent Garth Ennis and John McCrea strike again with another fine addition to the Hitman storyline. As with most of Ennis' work, this piece is violent, over the top, and of course, hysterical. John McCrea also does a great job with the art, which provides a more comical flare to Ennis' already hysterical writing. The story picks up right after the Hitman: Local Heroes story and it would be advisable to read the previous Hitman trade paperbacks before picking up this one. If you are a fan of Garth Ennis, this offering will not dissapoint!

Graphic SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hitman: The Ace of Killers (Paperback)
A certain demon wants Tommy Monaghan to do his bidding and be his agent. When Tommy tells him to do you know want, the demon sends a six gunned killer monster to get him.There are encounters with other send up loser types, and even an established character. Hitman is still very entertaining. 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful
