This assassin business is such a smooth ride. From one sorta-problem to another kinda-dilemma, this guy is just all basic logic and common sense. He's grounded while being able to see the big picture, and he works through things without being an overthinker. He's just a dude with a gun who gets it with a lot of blood on his hands.

Fantastic noir. The final chapter in the book has a great sense of urgency, and the ending does a good job of leaving just enough questions for the sequel volume (this one was the conclusion of the initial miniseries).

Didn't finish. While I liked the first volume (especially the faltering mental state of the protagonist), the second volume was too much talk and an unclear plot.

The first book I liked but i felt that it lacked something, and what it really was was the rest of the story which this takes care of. Combined with Vol 1 this is a really good.

Our protagonist keeps painting a picture that he doesn't care about humanity or what he does, that he only cares about himself. Yet we see more of his rules being broken and connections being made: his girlfriend is still his girlfriend and he's far more protective, and he finds friends in the godson of a Columbian drug lord and a former cop who has been setup to take a fall. His jobs are also getting increasingly (intentionally) messy. He's needing to make examples of people instead of them dying in a way that looks accidental and the stakes are being raised as a result. What makes matters worse is he seems to be getting closer and closer to the Columbian drug lord, yet another string he'll have to worry about later. This is one of the best comics I've read lately and I'm really looking forward to where the series is going.
