Any story that ends with the phrase “I guess you had to be there” is a good example. So too is Midnight Tiger #1.

Release Date: January 1, 2014
Cover Price: $2.99

Who better to solve a murder case in a world littered with super-powered individuals than a former hero? Written by Brandon Barrows and illustrated by Ionic, Jack Hammer #1 from Action Lab Comics offers a new, gritty take on the superhero genre. Find out my thoughts on the first installment below.

When a wealthy sophisticate from Boston named Eddie Newman goes missing, private investigator — and one time superhero — Jack McGriskin is hired to find him. When Mcgriskin enters a crime scene investigation and discovers that the murder victim is none other than Newman himself — donning the raggedy clothes of a homeless man — McGriskin seeks to find out what happened to the him. His journey takes him deep into the underbelly of Boston, making backroom deals with crooked thugs and business owners in order to get the information he needs. What McGriskin doesn’t realize, however, is that the very people who hired him in the first place, Technotrends Corporation, might not want McGriskin to uncover the truth. And a powerful company like Technotrends will do whatever is necessary to prevent him from moving forward.
