The best part of this comic really is Arthur Ranson's art. It's absolutely beautiful. John Wagner's story is also great. An amazing comic.

Daughter of one of the Button Man is on a revenge path. Her father was killed because he broke the rules of the Game (you are never to talk about the Game) when she was little and she is now searching for all of the Button Man involved in order to avenge her father.
In a process Harry Ex is forced out of his pension only to teach his enemies same lesson again - he is not to be underestimated .... ever.
Fast paced with some great art. Keep in mind this is newer book and art is very different than in original volumes.
Highly recommended to all fans of action thrillers

This book contains Button Man I, II and III.
Harry Ex is a former soldier and mercenary who unexpectedly ends up as a player (so called Button Man) in the Killing Game, game where assassins are pitted against each other by their handlers (aka Voices). Lots of money is circulating on the bets and Button Men are trying very hard to survive and make the other guy(s) pay.
Only thing is they do not count on Harry Ex. They treat him as an ordinary killer while he is much much more (I like when he says to his Voice controller "Do you know what kind of a man I am?", it reminds me of [b: Dorsai|263111|Dorsai! (Childe Cycle, #1)|Gordon R. Dickson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1389845085s/263111.jpg|2252902] short story in which one of the brothers Graeme tells to man who tried scheming against him something in line of "You think I am soldier, I am not. I am man of war").
Harry Ex does not like to have his actions controlled by others so he rebels and tries to leave the game which puts him into whole bunch of problems and he becomes target of choice for all other assassins.
Art is photo-realistic, grainy-like which seems to the thing in the 90's and might take some time to get accustomed to it. Nevertheless composition and the way story is presented to the reader is very movie-like.
Very interesting book, highly recommended to all action and thriller fans.
