Jinx

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A female bail agent, a low-level confidence man, and his loose-cannon sidekick form an unlikely alliance to track down the ultimate score—a hidden stash of life-altering, untraceable mob cash.

For this hard-luck trio, however, the old saying "more money, more problems" will prove to be disturbingly prophetic.

This innovative crime story is part of a remarkable run of groundbreaking black-and-white graphic novels that launched Bendis' legendary career.

Collecting all of the original Jinx issues published by Caliber Press and Image Comics, this comprehensive trade paperback edition features an introduction by acclaimed comics creator David Mack and includes more than 60 pages of behind-the-scenes bonus material!

Brian Michael Bendis, the New York Times bestselling, Peabody and multi-Eisner award-winning co-creator of Miles Morales, Naomi, Jessica Jones, and POWERS tells a modern noir tale of crime, greed, and double cross.
