Oh. Man. And this is where Hitman starts to hit high gear. Natt comes in, Ennis makes some decisions about the long-term shape of the book, McCrea's art starts to get tighter.

And oh, man. Oh man oh man oh man. That scene in the bathtub. Second most heartbreaking scene in the entire series (you'll see what the most heartbreaking thing is soon). Such excellent work.

The next volume in my 2015 comics reread list. :)

I'm trusting Wikipedia to be accurate about what issues are actually in this volume.

The main arc for this volume involves Johhny Navarone being hired to kill Tommy. Tommy then runs into his old marine buddy and the arc becomes a nice "let's murder all of them before they murder us" plot. It's a lovely time.

After that arc, we have an issue where all of the hitmen who gather to play poker tell stories of the closest time they came to dying. It's fine, but those types of flashback stories aren't for me. I just can't make myself care.

The Annual is a standalone story that takes place in a town straight out of an old western movie. The bad guys are bad. The good guys are corrupt. It's good, not great.
