Ex-military operative Tommy Monaghan has x-ray vision and telepathy.

On the back streets of Gotham City, he's set himself up as a hired gun.


Surrounded by an odd assortment of friends and allies, the Hitman with a heart must deal with personal conflicts over honor and morals as he makes a living with a gun.

But even with the telepathic ability to read his targets' minds, he still finds himself well over his head when he runs into some of Gotham's most notorious citizens such as the Demon, the Joker, and the Dark Knight himself, the Batman.

To make matters worse, a vindictive mob boss from his past puts a contract out on Tommy. With his friends caught in the crossfire, he must find a way to take out the hired assassin and exact retribution against the mafia head. But even with his extrarodinary powers, the Hitman may find that a trained killer and a mob army is just too much for one man.

This first volume collects HITMAN #1-33, HITMAN ANNUAL #1, THE DEMON #42-45, #52-54, and THE DEMON ANNUAL #2, and includes a brand-new introduction by Ennis, a foreword and cover by McCrea, and loads of behind-the-scenes material from the irreverent series.
Garth Ennis has been writing comics for over twenty years, initially for British titles like 2000 AD and Crisis, then for various American publishers. As well as Preacher—which he co-created with Steve Dillon—his credits include Hellblazer, HitmanWar Stories, Adventures In The Rifle Brigade, Kev, Battler Britton, The Boys, Battlefields, Dan Dare, 303, The Chronicles Of Wormwood, Crossed, Streets Of Glory, Dicks, The Punisher, Fury and The Pro. Originally hailing from Belfast, Northern Ireland, he now resides in New York City with his wife, Ruth. View titles by Garth Ennis
