Hitman by Garth Ennis
Requirements: cbr reader or winrar
Overview: "Hitman is a violent, darkly humorous and occasionally romantic comic book from DC Comics, written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by John McCrea.

The series stars Tommy Monaghan, a hitman from the Irish part of Gotham City who only kills "bad guys". In his first appearance, in The Demon Annual #2 (part of the "Bloodlines" crossover), he is bitten by an alien, granting him x-ray vision and the ability to read minds with telepathy. He sets himself up as "Hitman", an assassin who specializes in killing superhumans.

The series itself rarely pays attention to this convoluted set-up, though. Tommy often suffers a blow to the head that gives him a headache strong enough to prevent him from using his powers. He is also rarely hired to target actual superhumans, other than dangerous escapees from the local laboratory. The series alternates between down-to-earth antagonists (the Mafia, or British soldiers) and plotlines and over-the top ones (zombie fish, vampires, and dinosaurs, among others) but, even at its most ridiculous, the characters are realistically portrayed, if not necessarily sympathetic.

Despite its bizarre and often iconoclastic nature, the series is firmly entrenched in the DC Universe. Batman, The Joker, Green Lantern, Catwoman, Etrigan, and Superman all guest star at various points, and joking references are frequently made to then-current DC happenings (such as the long-haired Superman). It also crossed over with many DC events, including Final Night, One Million, and No Man's Land. There was even a oneshot pairing him with Lobo.

Although the character was given "Hitman" as a codename in his first appearance, he only referred to himself by that name once in his own series, in the very first issue; the rest of the time, he is referred to by his given name, although he was sometimes called "Hitman" in guest appearances."

Clark Kent is being interviewed about Superman's connection to notorious killer Tommy Monaghan. Taking the conversation off the record, he tells a story of how the JLA intercepted a rocket which was filled with a new strain of the Bloodlines virus. They needed a living being who had been exposed to the virus already and survived. Batman took the chance to grab Tommy, whom he regarded as a minor nuisance, killing two birds with one stone.
In the Watchtower, Batman criticizes the Green Lantern for having teamed up with Tommy, until Superman walks in and is pleased to see Tommy. Batman tells Superman that Tommy is a killer, and Superman is suddenly torn, because the advice Tommy had given is still helping him. The rocket arrives at the moon. The White House, in fear of the aliens, launches nuclear weapons at the Watchtower.
The corrupted astronauts invade. Each has their own powers. The JLA soon find themselves powerless. The team mount a counterattack but one by one, most fall. Wonder Woman sacrifices herself so Tommy can continue on. Tommy talks an infected Superman into overcoming his own alien.
Over the course of the battle, Tommy kills all the astronauts and the aliens. The nuclear attack on the Watchtower is called off.
Superman is torn but the rest of the League are critical of Tommy's actions. Batman has him arrested, but the cops who process him are local 'Cauldron' boys and release him in lieu of gambling debts.
In the present day, Superman admits that he admires Tommy's moral courage in the extreme situation, and mourns his passing.
