<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"DEAD EYES was a prolific stick-up man and hoodlum in Boston in the 1990s, until he took down one last big score and skipped town... or did someone take him out permanently? Nobody every discovered the truth -- that he retired to live a quiet life with his one true love, but now he's back with a vengeance and wearing his mask again to save her! [... T]he action-packed, comedic drama of Martin Dobbs, AKA DEAD EYES -- a former crook struggling with all the challenges of middle age. He's come out of retirement to steal from all the wrong people for all the right reasons, and absolutely no one -- not the mob, not the cops, and definitely not his wife -- is happy he's back in action. A modern-day Robin Hood... except this time, he's keeping most of the cash for himself!" --<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Meet Martin Dobbs. He's a hot-tempered, foul-mouthed former mercenary and gun-for-hire who's just been forced out of retirement-with both funny and violent results. <b>DEAD EYES </b>is equal parts <b>Unforgiven</b>, <b>The Equalizer</b>, and <b>Robin Hood</b>, from two of comics' most irreverent creators: writer <b>GERRY DUGGAN </b>(<b>Deadpool</b>) and artist<b> JOHN McCREA </b>(<b>Hitman</b>)! <p/><b>Collects DEAD EYES #1-4</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) -- Throughout the 1990s, Martin Dobbs terrorized bank clerks, drug dealers, and mobsters across Boston as a masked outlaw dubbed Dead Eyes. His legend only grew after his sudden disappearance in 1997-some think him dead; others claim he vanished after stealing $12 million from a dangerous crime family. In reality, Martin retired to settle down with his wife, Megan-but when her health fails, and the salary Martin earns working at a department store falls far short of covering her medical bills, he's forced to embark upon another crime spree. The good news is, he's still got a knack for nabbing a big score; unfortunately, the Boston Mob has a long memory and takes their vendettas very seriously. Duggan (<i>Dawn of X. Vol. 3</i>) and McCrea (<i>Judge Dredd: Mechanismo</i>; <i>Machine Law</i>) combine the swashbuckling banditry of <i>Ocean's Eleven </i>and the brutal, over-the-top violence and dark humor that made McCrea's <i>Hitman</i> a gonzo crime classic.<br>VERDICT Watching Dead Eyes outsmart, outmaneuver, and outgun his enemies is a total blast in this first collection of what will hopefully be a long-running series.<br><br>
