JLA / Hitman #2 - DC

This mini-series offered us a little untold story of the JLA. One in which they teamed up with the late Hitman. My only question is, why couldn't this have been told in the JLA Classified series? Isn't that what that series is for? Well, anyways, I thought it was a pretty good story. It had to do with the Bloodlines thing, which happened in another JLA mini-series, or maybe it was an Annual, where they first met the Hitman. The part that I liked about the story is that even though it's really a JLA story, Garth Ennis did a fantastic job of keeping Tommy Monaghan in character. He stayed true to his nature, even though he was in the company of all these great heroes. And even though Batman was on his case the whole time. Man, he just wouldn't let up on the guy. But anyways, Tommy, really, ends up being the true hero of the story. He's key in bringing Superman out of his alien induced coma. He convinces the aliens to get off of Batman. He kills enough aliens that he gets the one that's inhibiting all of the JLA's powers. Which makes it so they can get ahold of Washington and call off the Nuclear strike. But still Batman gives him grief for killing the 8 astronauts. But the story ends well, because Batman turns him over to the Gotham police. But, luckily, there's more than a few of them that owe Tommy a favor, so they let him go. This story really couldn't have been told without Garth Ennis and John McCrea. They were also the creative team behind the Hitman series. It ran until he died in issue #60. Overall, I though it was a pretty decent book.
