Hitman

Tommy Monaghan, a former military operative, works as a hired gun on the back streets of Gotham City. He can read the minds of his targets, which helps with the job but not with the questions of honor and morality that follow him home. A circle of odd friends and allies stands with him.

Gotham is crowded with dangerous names, and Tommy runs into several of them: the Demon, the Joker and Batman. Even with his telepathy, he is out of his depth in these encounters.

A vindictive mob boss from his past then puts a contract on his life. A hired assassin comes for him, and his friends are caught in the crossfire. Tommy has to find a way to stop the killer and make the mafia head pay.

The odds are bad: a trained killer on one side, a mob army on the other, and one man in the middle. This volume gathers Hitman #1-3 with The Demon Annual #2 and The Batman Chronicles #4, so the crossovers with Gotham's best-known figures sit alongside the first run of Tommy's own series.
