Sam and Twitch #15 - 19: Bounty Hunter Wars

This is easily the best story arc of this series, as Bendis finally finds himself paired with an artist whose style fits with the type of story he is telling.  This arc begins with Twitch's girlfriend K.C., a medical examiner, getting shot by a stray bullet let off by Bilal, a particularly unscrupulous bounty hunter.

It seems that Bilal has been stealing arrests from other bounty hunters, and has most of them quaking in fear of him, while a few others are trying to hunt him down.  This brings Sam and Twitch into contact with Jinx Alameda, Bendis's own bounty hunter and star of his previous work.  Jinx is basically Jessica Jones, but a bounty hunter.

This leads to plenty of sharp and amusing dialogue, as the unlikely threesome chase Bilal across New York and New Jersey.  We see a lot more of Twitch's character than we have up until this point, and Maleev looks the book look really good.
