Resurrected gem, complete with fire and gunfights and more fire
By James Reichert
'Bloodhound' was a short-lived series in 2004 published by DC Comics that seemingly got lost among the event-driven books of the day. but for me, not having a "Identity Crisis Tie-In!" banner was one of the more appealing factors. Set largely on the fringes of the DC Universe, Clev and his partner/handler Agent Saffron hunted down the superhumans who operated under the radar, without a flashy costume or gimmick. Sadists and murderers the way they would really be with amazing powers. And for eleven issues (one being a cross-over with writer Dan Jolley's other series, 'Firestorm'), we had a rare kind of series for DC. I compare it almost to 'Gotham Central', but with an action-movie tone.
The violence hits that sweet spot, where its just gory enough that you're constantly thinking 'how did they get away with this!?' while not being so over-the-top that its cartoonish. There's also how the violence is shown that I really like, specifically that the victims of the criminals are not shown for shock value.The ratio of gore is 95/10 in favor of Clev & the villain to everyone else. Again, this was coming out at the same time 'Identity Crisis' was, and while both stories had villains who raped and murdered women, somehow the one without Batman and Superman on the cover was the one to not show it. I'm just impressed this book was able to have so much violence, but contain it to the necessary characters. If you're looking for a superhero story without the super, one with edge but without trying to be overly-gritty, this is a great title. Jolley wrote one of the most enjoyable new character of the last decade with Clev, who feels like he could come right out of any top-notch crime novel. And the art is handled by Leonard Kirk, someone I've admired since his JSA run and the other reason I first chose to try out this comic when it first hit the shelves. He has realistic figure work and terrific range of emotions and expressions. I never think of him as one of the best guys in the industry but maybe I should - I've never seen a bad comic by the guy. Kirk may be a victim to his own consistant talent, we don't realize how good he is since he doesn't slip up!
Onto this edition in particular. It may have taken nine years, but 'Bloodhound' has finally been collected by Dark Horse. Being it was a DC book, a few edits needed to be made. But Clev had such little to do with DC-proper that they're unnoticeable if you hadn't read the series before in the floppies. One C-list character had to be changed, and an issue was skipped (the 'Firestorm' cross-over). All-in-all Bloodhound: Brass Knuckle Psychology collects issues 1-4, and 6-10 of the original series. I say original because Jolley and Kirk have a new five-issue mini-series in the works from DH. And based off of the enjoyment I had rereading these stories, I am very much looking forward to seeing the band back together! As far as extras there's an intro by Kurt Busiek, and afterword by editor Ivan Cohen, and several pages of pin-ups and some original design sketches. A very good package for the $19.99 list price.

Must-read for a raw take on realistic superpowers
By Johanna Draper Carlson
Bloodhound: Brass Knuckle Psychology reprints an excellent (but flew under the radar) series published by DC Comics in 2004 by Dan Jolley, Leonard Kirk, and Robin Riggs. But that doesn’t matter, because what we have here isn’t nostalgia — “oh, I’m so glad a favorite is back in print” — but a raw, brutal, smart take on superpowers that reads even better today. Now that I’ve had more time to think about it, anti-hero Travis Clevenger appeals to me because he combines the best of the best-known superheroes. He’s got Superman’s drive for justice, regardless of personal cost; Batman’s detective brains, outwitting most who confront him; and Wolverine’s toughness, determination, and ability to take pain.
Clevenger is a blond bear of an ex-cop, built like a pro wrestler, in prison for killing his partner. Before then, he was tops at apprehending superhumans. FBI Agent Saffron Bell needs his help to capture a serial killer targeting his ex-partner’s daughter, so she gets him out of jail … in the middle of a prison riot aimed at Clevenger. He’s got a talent for annoying almost anyone he comes in contact with. Bell also collars him, with a high-tech tracking and behavior device.
Jolley’s writing is terrific, intelligent and gripping. Although set in a metahuman universe, it’s more a crime story than a superhero book, with a serious look at the motivations of those outside the usual societal rules. (And no costumes, since the Firestorm crossover issue was omitted from this collection.) In that way, this is a throwback to the “last honest man” private eye type. If you like Ed Brubaker’s work like Fatale, you should definitely check this out.
Clevenger’s a fighter, clever (see the name) and willing to go as dirty as needs be, in spite of the effects on himself. He’d rather go through a threat than around. As a result, the book can be violent, but it’s not gratuitous (thanks, Leonard Kirk) and it’s in service of the story. I want to know more about who he was before, since I’m curious about how much of this came about from needing to survive in prison. We know he reshaped himself physically, but there’s a lot of background still to be learned about his mental state before and after. (For similar reasons, I really liked the TV show Life, starring Damien Lewis.) That’s one of the aspects that makes this story so rich and fascinating.
We do learn some of his background during the chapter when he’s being attacked by a telepath, someone who’s manipulating his memories. An additional story has him tackling a demonic firestarter. Kirk’s art is clear and straightforward, well supporting the gut-level stories with plenty of detail. (Review originally posted at ComicsWorthReading.com.)

The Best Title You've Never Read
By Danny Norbury
Once in a while you stumble across a mainstream title that somehow flew under the radar. Usually it stayed under due to some sort of shortcomings; not so with Bloodhound. Released by DC in the early 2000's Bloodhound is every bit as good as any DC title at that time (or after). With topnotch storytelling and art, I cannot imagine why this title is not still going strong.
The Bloodhound in question is Travis Clevenger a brick house of destruction and mayhem he is more akin to the Punisher than any hero in the DCU. An ex-cop sentenced to a stretch of 20 in a Maximum Security Prison for killing his partner, he has spent his already considerable time behind bars honing his body and mind into an even bigger threat for the superhuman criminals he once hunted. It is this expertise that brings the FBI to his door with an offer of reduced sentence in exchange for capturing a superhuman serial killer whose latest target is his ex-partner's daughter.
The title has a lot going for it. Travis is a like-able, snappy-one-line dishing, violent anti-hero who leaps off the written page. The violence is graphic enough but done with a bit of finesse that helps punctuate the plot without overpowering it. His female FBI keeper Saphron Bell is the perfect foil to Travis and the sexual tension between the two, though cliche, is pleasantly palpable. All this with a series of criminal sleuthing with equal dosages of brain and brawn...what is there not to like?
But perhaps what is the most appealing trait of this limited series was its place in the DCU. Travis fights his way in the same world ruled by caped crusaders and men of steele, and yet, none of them get so much as a "boo" in this title. Even though superpowers is very much at the center, there are no team ups or stand downs by the squeaky clean members of the JLA to interfere with the plot. The title stands very much on its own without the help nor hindrance of such distractions and, as such, manages to be stronger than many of its universe brethren.
The afterword talks of the pitch made when the comic was originally published, "Dan came back to me with something distinctly unlike anything DC - or anyone else - was publishing at the time: the story of an X-Files-type duo where Mulder was a cross between the pro wrestler Triple H and Conan the Barbarian." This is a very apt description though I'm not sure most readers would realize the intelligence at play in the Conan part. And maybe that is why it remained under the radar; it was too radically different for DC readers (it might have fared better in the Marvel U). Or maybe its lackluster sales was due to the Identity Crisis machine that DC was churning during the run and the fact that this title had no tie in value whatsoever. Whatever the reason, it's a travesty since this is one of the most enjoyable DC titles I have read...ever.
So while it may remain off the radar for most, I strongly suggest you put it on yours.
