The Rundown: Huck goes on a mission to find a powered hitman with a secret.
A hitman has been operating in the city. A hitman who doesn’t miss and has some unique ways of killing his targets. Huck, his mom and the man who hired them have made their way into the city to find the hitman because he might have a connection to the mysterious Sofia who saved Harper’s life years ago.
What none of them know is that the hitman Rossi is hiding a secret and is only killing for his uncle under pain of something worse happening to someone he loves. Huck knows just how he can help and it will be with his powers of finding anyone anywhere.
The Story: Millar crafts a thoughtful, entertaining story in this issue. The action is thrilling and I love the buildup of tension and suspense throughout the story as Huck hunts for the hitman and the hitman shows off his skills in his kills. There are some great emotional moments in the story as well and I love seeing Huck grow and evolve as a character.
The Art: Albuquerque delivers beautifully detailed, stylish art throughout the issue. The story expands into new environments and Albuquerque delivers on those environments with gorgeous imagery.
