Hit TP VOL 02 1957

(W) Bryce Carlson (A/CA) Vanesa R. Del Rey. Whats to Love: Hit: 1955 was one of our favorite original series of 2013, a dark, violent dive into the depths of 1950s corruption in Los Angeles featuring the writing of Bryce Carlson and the debut of Russ Manning Award for Most Promising Newcomer nominee Vanesa R. Del Rey. Hit: 1957 takes us later in the seminal decade of change for the LAPDfamiliar faces, new threats, and more sharp, smart noir. Even if you missed out on the first series, if youre a fan of crime comics like Parker, Criminal, and Tumor, Hit is in your wheelhouse. What It Is: Crime is down in Los Angelesat least, on the surface. Mickey Cohen has been quiet since his release from prison and the LAPD has seemingly regained control of the city.

Meanwhile, Slaters being hounded by Internal Affairs, Bonnie Brae is missing, and everything is falling apart at the seams. Collects the complete mini-series, issues #1-4.
