Hitman chronicles the exploits of Tommy Monaghan, an ex-Marine Gulf War veteran turned contract killer from the Cauldron, a lower-class Irish district of Gotham City. Despite its bizarre and often iconoclastic nature, the series is firmly entrenched in the DC Universe. Batman, The Joker, Green Lantern, Catwoman, Etrigan, and Superman all guest star at various points, and joking references are frequently made to then-current DC happenings (such as the long-haired Superman). It also crossed over with many DC events, including Final Night, DC One Million, and No Man's Land. There was even a oneshot pairing him with Lobo, and he has made a few appearances outside of the series. Hitman was first published as a 60-issue comic book series with one annual, one "DC One Million" tie-in issue. Issues were more or less published monthly and most were 22 pages.
