“4 out of 5 stars! Image delivers yet another solid crime comic with THE HARD PLACE #1. It’s a tightly paced, plotted story with subtle character development and one hell hook ending that really grabs you. Simply said, this book will not disappoint.”
After five years in prison, AJ Gurney, a legendary wheelman in Detroit, has decided it’s time to go straight. He returns home to work in his father’s garage and disappear into anonymity. But during a visit to the bank, AJ is recognized by two violent bank robbers, and they demand AJ be their getaway driver. To ensure his compliance, they take a young female hostage; unfortunately, she happens to be the daughter of a Russian crime lord. AJ now finds himself pursued by a bitter police department and hunted by every asset of the Russian mob. Without a doubt, he’s in a very hard place.
