The Thompson and Anderson family saga concludes here!
Marcus and Hunter are still dealing with family sins and secrets, but now they have a few of their own.
Reeling from a death in the family, Marcus is pulled into Hunter's plans to rob a bank and a safety deposit box with Marcus's family inheritance. A robbery that will put Andrea, Marcus's mom, in the path of violence and force her to choose between doing anything to protect her family and her conscience. But Marcus is sick of being manipulated by Hunter and has a scheme of his own. And Hunter is finally reaching the end of his road to revenge, a road that his mom, Linda, makes one last attempt to convince him is wrong. But Hunter must decide for himself if it's a path he wants to stay on, especially since his old high school friend Lorena, now a detective, has discovered his plans. Lorena is committed to taking down Hunter, but her last case might be the death of her or of her relationship with her girlfriend, Ann.

Review

A Booklife Editor's Pick, the concluding volume of a successful Kickstarter series acclaimed by Graphic Policy, Fanbase Press, Comic Booked, and more
"The storytelling is tense, taut, and emotionally resonant, ...[Romera and Standal] excel at depicting hard lives, addiction and desperation...The conclusion proves satisfying, though new readers are advised to start with the first collection...The knockout conclusion of a smart and humane graphic novel crime series."Booklife
"A graphic novel that steals your attention from start to finish."Write with Light Productions "Standal has great range as a writer" Fanbase Press "C.J. [Standal] is good at breaking down people, and situations, to where we feel for them and can even imagine ourselves in their situations." Comic Booked "Romera's artwork reminds us of David Mazzuchelli on Batman: Year One crossed with the late and lamented Darwyn Cook, all bold but simple brushstrokes and strong shadow work giving life to each panel." Pipedream Comics
"The artwork by Juan Romera did not disappoint. The scenes provide easily interpretable body language and facial expressions...Although printed in black and white, I can almost see the redness of the blood."Readers' Favorite
"Rebirth of a Gangster by CJ Standal is a book that is one part tragedy, one part redemption, and all parts gripping. It's a dark graphic novel filled with twists, death, and intrigues, but with a surprisingly uplifting message.
Read as the jaw-dropping climax to the series, or as a gritty and fast-paced stand alone."The International Review of Books
