Jack Cross

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jack Cross is an ongoing comic book series written by Warren Ellis and drawn by Gary Erskine. The title character is a gun-for-hire freelance anti-terrorist, who is brought in when things go horribly, horribly wrong, and who uses extremely violent methods to achieve his goals. However, he is also an active social liberal who takes part in anti-war demonstrations, and is internally conflicted about the measures he has to take. The series is published by DC Comics; it was launched in October 2005 and although an ongoing title, it was placed on hiatus after the fourth issue. Later on, Ellis posted on his myspace page that there will be "No more Jack Cross for DC".

Ellis and Erskine previously collaborated on another comic book, a three-issue limited series for Image Comics entitled City Of Silence.
