    Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer #1MICKEY SPILLANE’S MIKE HAMMER #1
    Story by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins
    Writer: Max Allan Collins
    Artist: Marcelo Salaza, Marcio Freire
    Publisher: Titan Comics
    Imprint: Hard Case Crime
    Cover Price: $3.99
    Release Date: June 27, 2018

    When a chance encounter with a captivating femme fatale leads to a violent mob retaliation, hard-boiled detective Mike Hammer finds himself dodging both bullets and hard broads as he undertakes the most dangerous case of his career.

     

     
    This art is wholly inappropriate for the story being told, and the coloring is strangely garish for a noir story. The story feels like a boilerplate detective tale, which makes me wonder if the scripts it’s being adapted from was actually complete or not. Collins has the voice and the tough-guy dialogue down, though… Matthew's Thoughts
    There’s a reason why Spillane’s books are so controversial. Titan Comics takes a story that should have been left untold and told it, complete with art that looks more like a weird DAZ 3D comics than what you normally expect. Still, if you like hard crime tales where the hero isn’t afraid of taking down anyone who is on the wrong side of the law, then Mike Hammer is the hero for you.Stephen's Thoughts
