WHY WE LOVE IT: You say your crime noir story is based on a group of hard­boiled policemen during 1950s Los Angeles that did a little wetwork under the table, ridding the city of its scummiest residents one lowlife at a time? And it features the art debut of Russ Manning Award for Most Promising Newcomer nominee Vanesa R. Del Rey? Oh, we're so there. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Noir crime fiction is a part of Americana, from the writing of James Ellroy and Raymond Chandler to the films of Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock. HIT joins titles like TORSO, CRIMINAL, and GOTHAM CENTRAL as a grand contribution to crime noir comics. WHAT IT'S ABOUT: They say the eyes are the window to the soul. You look at Harvey Slater and you'll see a homicide detective chasing cigarettes with a few fingers of bourbon. You look into his eyes, and you'll see a hitman who spends his nights making 'untouchable' criminals disappear for the Los Angeles Police Department. But all it takes is a blonde bombshell......
