If you look above you'll see I read the third volume of this series a little while ago when I borrowed it from the library. In the meantime I've managed to locate the other two and have had me a reread.This (and the next) are very much Ennis finding his characters voices and trying out the type of storylines that would serve him so well ever since.
Tommy is a hitman who only takes contracts on supes since he was bitten by some alien thing in one of those crossover event story things and developed x-ray vision and telepathy.
These early issues are all about scene setting and slowly introducing the characters. To spice things up there are appearances from The Demon and Batman (who Tommy pukes on).
It's fun but nowhere near as gonzo as he can be. His run on Hellblazer is obviously fresh too as there're lots of Hell references.
