LAST CONTRACT (2016)

"What's to Love: Last year, John Wick reminded everyone why hitmen make for awesome stories. Of course, we've known that for years as evidenced by The Killer and Hit. Ed Brisson's (Cluster, Sheltered) take on a retired hitman who finds himself as the target is a well-paced thriller that kept us guessing until the end, and newcomer Lisandro Estherren's (Tall Tales from the Badlands) noirish art perfectly sets the mood. What It Is: A retired hitman, known only as 'The Man,' is forced back into the game when a list of his kills is leaked by a mysterious Broker. The list makes targets out of anyone associated with one of the The Man's previous jobs, not to mention The Man himself. As he fights to protect those the list exposes, The Man sets off to uncover the identity of the Broker so he can move on with his new life once and for all. But will the truth ruin those chances forever?"

"The Man is on the run, searching for the person from his past who leaked his kill list."

"The Man and Dillon come under attack from a hired killer whose past intertwines with the Man's."

"Final issue! The Man discovers the identity of the blackmailer and comes face-to-face with the consequences of his life as a hitman."
