Comic Book Review#312: Hitman#1000000 (2000) (english)

Allrighty then. Here comes mah fayvrit.

Hitman, better known as Tommy Monaghan. He's an irish-american resident of Gotham City and uhm, well... a Hitman. By the way, he has some superpowers. He's able to read people's minds and see through buildings. Those powers were given to him by aliens, as far as I know. Because of his blackened eyes he wears sunglasses.

Well, this story here takes place in the 853rd century. This is the century, in which the 1.000.000th issue of "Action Comics" would come out if DC would still exist. It's the year 85.271. So there are those witty, snotty teenagers who want to become superheroes. That's why they mess with a time machine which should teleport Batman from the 20th century. Instead of Batman, they get Tommy who is pretty much pissed off about this. Long story short, shit gets hot. A bunch of superheroes appears and gets in a dramatic fight with each other. Tommy kicks ass.

Typical, funny and over-the-top stuff from Garth Ennis and John McCrea. You know it, they love the superhero multiverse and they even more enjoy to make fun of it. The "DC One Million" Event of that time was already over the top, so it's clear that they HAD to make it even worse/better. Typical scenario of a guy who wakes up in a world he doesn't belong to. I had fun while reading.
