Book excerpt: In a city full of superpowered do-gooders, the mob needs above-average enforcers to get away with robbery, murder, and so much more. Enter the Silencers, a lineup of criminals with extraordinary abilities who are more than happy to use lethal force for a mafia-funded payday. But when the Silencers' leader, the legendary Cardinal, finds out his team's being set up for a deadly fall, these pawns do more than try to put a mob king in checkmate . . . They want to take over the whole city's crime scene. Collecting the gritty cult-favorite crime comic from New York Times best-selling creators Fred Van Lente (Marvel Zombies, Brain Boy, Archer & Armstrong) and Steve Ellis (High Moon, Breaking Bad, The Only Living Boy), this comprehensive collection features the entire Silencers story.
