The Black Hood, Volume 1: The Bullet's Kiss
by Duane Swierczynski
Cool idea, but not the best execution. Funny enough I'm reading another title from Duane but this one? Eh didn't work for me.
So who is The Black Hood? Well he actually killed the original, the main character, who is just a regular cop. Once he kills him by accident he gets shot in the face and loses his looks. So he decides to take the mask of the vigilante he killed and become the NEW Black Hood. So he starts going around taking down criminals in his own way. But of course, it's never as simple as that.
Good: Liked the start of it, and the art, it flowed really well together.
Bad: Everything after the first issue got worse and worse. The idea of him becoming the Black Hood after killing the person didn't make much sense. The twist and turns, how they knew it was him didn't make sense. The switch and bait scene was dumb. Don't get me started on the last issue's ugly as fuck art that clashes with the themes/tone of this story.
Overall this is pretty meh. It's not the worst thing I ever read, and some cool ideas, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. A 1.5 out of 5.
