Directed by Stephen Frears (Dirty Pretty Things, The Queen) and starring Terrance Stamp, John Hurt and Tim Roth. The Hit is mostly about Willy (Stamp) a British criminal turned informant living in Spain for a decade and Mr. Braddock (Hurt) a professional hired to drag him up to Paris. Braddock is being helped by the hyperactive young tough Myron (Roth). Slow-moving at times but terrificly shot and full of great character moments. And excellent piece of early Brit Crime...

Batman and the Mad Monk with Matt Wagner on story & art, Dave Stewart on colors and Rob Leigh on letters

Wagner's sequel to his Batman & the Monster Men. And its a pity that DC only had him do two of these Dark Moon Rising retellings of classic Batman stories. Because they are pretty damn amazing. Both in terms of the art (and big props to how well Stewart's coloring works with Wagner's drawings) and the updated story...

Which here involves Batman vs. a cult of vampires. Or maybe just "vampires". Either way Batman gets to fight some wolves in hand-to-fang combat. And who doesn't want to see that?
