I like comics with strong characters, clever, intelligent, well-spoken, capable, in situations not already done over and over (although this's hard to avoid, admittedly), in well-drawn narratives.
A Calculated Man gives me all that. "Jack Beans" (an alias) was a perfect calculator of an accountant for a mob organization. He knows math like most of us know our names, calculates odds and results all but magically perfect. He knows lots of other things, too, sciences, music (it's math after all). And he has one other odd aspect: he cannot lie. Truth is vitally important to him, intrinsically important; he cannot lie. He wants a girl friend, but knows if she asks what he does for a living, he'll have to tell her; so he wants to quit. His mob boss finds this threatening: what if Jack gets picked up by the cops and questioned? He'll tell them everything, truthfully. Mob boss attempts a hit on Jack. Jack realizes his odds are pretty poor, unless...

he hits the mobsters, each and every one, first. He's very very good at it.
Our story opens with Jack meeting both his old FBI handler, who's retiring, and his new handler, who's skeptical. It's the dialogue between the three, and scenes of Jack meting out retaliation quickly, cleverly, efficiently, that makes this story hum right along. Oh, and Jack's got a girl friend now...

A CALCULATED MAN, by Paul Tobin, and Alberto Alburquerque, from Aftershock Comics, two issues to date. RECOMMENDED!
