It's difficult to put this book into words. There are obvious parallels to Lone Wolf and Kid and Death Wish, but the clearest comparison at this modern date would be to John Wick, obviously directly inspired by this book. This is a revenge story, a brutal one that involves a child, but a righteous one that any reader can understand.

The art matches the story: stark, bleak, jarring, without nuance. It's quite well done overall. The story is as taut as any good hard-boiled pulp, and moves along at a clip that'll leave you constantly double-checking the last panel to be sure you didn't miss anything. A worthwhile read, for sure, a real gangland thriller; just don't expect a lot of depth.
