Pug
Six years ago, the Darlinger fight ended Jake's career, cost him his family, and put him in a downward spiral with no end in sight. Now, he's doing collections for a small-time loan shark and thinking maybe it's time he set a few things straight in the world. From award-winning writer Derek McCulloch (Displaced Persons and the Eisner-nominated Stagger Lee) and artist Greg Espinoza, Pug is an unsparing tale of a good man trapped in a life of brutality -- 15-rounds of blood and bad memories!

This book is a great example of what I hate MOST about fiction.
Every character in this book is someone else- the plot is just other works adapted. When you read the "making of" in the back you see that each character was based on someone and which other stories the plot was taken from. The writer mentions that he spent YEARS writing this so why couldn't he take the time to be original? Don't bother reading this cliche with (at best) average art.
It also used a device that annoys me tremendously whenever employed. Taking a scene from the past that "ruined" the character and going back and forth between that tiny glimpse of time and the full spread of the present storyline every few pages makes that "cornerstone" dull and droll.
