27 pulls? Are you kiddin’ me? For all the love this place has for Criminal and Parker: the Hunter, one would think this should be a no brainer for this type of crowd. After all, this is an Eisner nominated (Best U.S. Edition of International Material) series worthy of our attention. Originally published in France, this is the life story of an unnamed assassin. This story begins 4 years after the end of the last story and there is nothing truly essential that you need to know from the previous story. Pick it up. You will not be disappointed.
