Hit: 1955
Written by Bryce Carlson, illustrated by Vanessa R. Del Rey
A four-part crime noir story set in Los Angeles in 1955, supposedly based on true events. Detective Harvey Slater is a member of a Hit Squad, a group of cops dispensing vigilante justice. He used to be involved with the femme fatale of the piece, Captain Blair's daughter Bonnie. When she shows up needing help, you know there's bound to be trouble.
In just four issues the story takes plenty of twists and turns, and has the requisite amount of sex and violence. Really good stuff, which should appeal to fans of Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips' Criminal series.
Also includes a couple of "The Last Round" articles with the author's commentary, and some fun faux period advertisements that relate to the story.
