THE RUNNING MAN!
Harry Exton used to be a ‘Button Man’ – a player in the lethal Killing Game, pitting man against man. The stakes were high – you became either very rich or very dead, very quickly.

Now, it is time for the hunter to become the hunted!

3.5
Although the Button Man saga is still enjoyable in its third outing, it is beginning to strain the bonds of credulity. Harry Ex now feels like an invincible Rambo-like figure and it's a little harder to get worked up about his predicaments when there doesn't seem a chance he'll actually kick the bucket. Still grimly amusing and engaging stuff, but lacks the gritty punch of the first entry.
They should still adapt this into a TV show, mind you.

Fantastic art. Fantastic story. Highly recommended.

Hard men making hard choices isn't my favourite genre but this is a grimly satisfying example of the form, the pages feel lived in and the rage is pointed in the right directions.
