Jinx

Great noir comic book by Brian Michael Bendis about bounty hunter Jinx and her encounter with petty criminal and his pal. She believes that he killed a cop but it was instead his girlfriend, and, confiding in one another, she tells him her own little secret, how she killed her childhood friend while he was attempting to pull a robbery in drugstore. By chance this criminal and his pal crash into automobile and dying man tells them about hidden stash of money if they help him to get to an ambulance. And when they finally arrive at car dump site and find the money they are ambushed by criminal ex-girlfriend with her goons, kill his partner and leave some cash to him and Jinx. Story is very good and dialogue feels natural and very much alive, and artwork is great with those almost photographic images of city streets, buildings, coupled with striking black and white close ups of faces and people.
