"The Nobody Murders," Part 1. The acclaimed crime comic returns with an all-new #1 issue, the perfect jumping-on point for new readers. The Black Hood is no more. Sure, there are rumors that the former cop known as Greg Hettinger is still out there, blending in with the homeless population, and emerging only to stop a violent attack before vanishing again. But the ruthless assassin known as The Nobody considers the Black Hood a loose end, and he's willing to slaughter dozens to flush him out. How high must the body count rise before Greg steps forward to face an opponent he can't possibly beat?
If the rest of The Black Hood plays out this good, then there might just be a new contender in the world of crime comics (better watch your backs, Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips!). Kudos must also be given to editor Alex Segura for helping bring the package together. Read Full Review
If you are looking for a crime comic, this is definitely one to get. The genre has had a great run this year, with things like Assassin's Creed Templars and The Black Monday Murders paving the way prior to this book's release. Wait. Funny how all those comics have Black in their title or have a main character named Black something or other. I guess it's a thing in 2016. Anyway, I can easily recommend that readers check out Black Hood Season 2 #1. It's solid, and a great jumping on point. And if you feel the need to go back, there is a trade coming, although I have not been able to nail down an availability date yet. And of course the Season 1 singles are available all over the place.
