7 Psychopaths


7 Psychopaths collects the mini-series by Fabien Vehlmann and Sean Phillips that was originally published in France three years ago. The premise is quite simple: Seven men (well one of the seven is a women) are gathered to assassinate Hitler. The first thing that one thinks of when they hear this premise is of the movie Inglorious Basterds, but since 7 Psychopaths was released three years ago, it predates the release of Inglorious Basterds (even though Tarintino worked on Inglorious Basterds for years before it finally hit theaters).

Why are seven crazy people gathered to perform this mission? Well because they're too crazy to think about the odds on being successful. The primary entertainment of 7 Psychopaths (beyond the great art of Sean Phillips, of Criminal fame) is watching (reading) this group come together. Published by Boom! Studios, 7 Psychopaths is in full color for only $9.99 - a better deal you won't find!
