Best known for his legendary and controversial work on Hellblazer and Preacher, Garth Ennis shows what a talented writer he is with this tough, sensitive crime drama. Once a notorious criminal who betrayed his murderous boss, Jimmy now has kids and is trying to settle into a normal life. But he is engaged in ceaseless battle with his disaffected son, who knows nothing of Jimmy’s past until, that is, his father discovers his ex-boss is out of prison and after his blood. But, as he attempts to protect his family, Jimmy must tell the truth about his terrible past if he is save them…A poignant tale of atonement in the face of adversity, this is the kind of class storytelling we have come to expect from one of comics’ finest writers.
