Meet Dead End; a bad ass hitman who kills for fun and
sport (and because he can). Our hero (?) pays a visit to a crime lord known as
Green Dragon (because…he is one). After a few pleasantries and insults are
traded, Dead End takes out the entire gang. While this is going on, we are
treated to flashbacks of a young, pimple-faced geek who was constantly picked
on, beat-up and not liked at all. After the fighting has ended, Dead End hears
music being played. He discovers that Amadeus Kitty has shown up sometime
during the melee. And the fight begins anew…
Wow! This is an almost completely action packed issue. I
know I shouldn’t, but I like Dead End’s style. Think of him as a cooler, less
annoying version of Deadpool. We assume that this is Dead End’s origin we’re
seeing in the flashbacks, but you never know. Not familiar with Bruno Bessadi‘s
art, but definitely like what I saw here. This book is on my pull list!
