LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) -- Throughout the 1990s, Martin Dobbs
terrorized bank clerks, drug dealers, and mobsters across Boston as
a masked outlaw dubbed Dead Eyes. His legend only grew after his
sudden disappearance in 1997-some think him dead; others claim he
vanished after stealing $12 million from a dangerous crime family.
In reality, Martin retired to settle down with his wife, Megan-but
when her health fails, and the salary Martin earns working at a
department store falls far short of covering her medical bills,
he's forced to embark upon another crime spree. The good news is,
he's still got a knack for nabbing a big score; unfortunately, the
Boston Mob has a long memory and takes their vendettas very
seriously. Duggan (Dawn of X. Vol. 3) and McCrea (Judge Dredd:
Mechanismo; Machine Law) combine the swashbuckling banditry of
Ocean's Eleven and the brutal, over-the-top violence and dark humor
that made McCrea's Hitman a gonzo crime classic.
VERDICT Watching Dead Eyes outsmart, outmaneuver, and outgun his
enemies is a total blast in this first collection of what will
hopefully be a long-running series.
