It looks like an April Fools joke but it appears to be genuine.

The more I read Buttonman 4, the less it seems a Buttonman story. The other Buttonman stories were about the voices telling the Buttonmen whom to kill and the Buttonmen relishing the challenge but Buttonman 4 is more a female Death Wish in plot. Harry Exton's hardly been in the story.

I'm enjoying the story but it seems more a conventional revenge story than part of the Buttonman universe. If you removed the voices and Exton it would be a conventional revenge tale. By strange coincidence the story has a vague similarity to the new Jodie Foster movie The Brave One:

'Radio host Erica Bain (Jodie Foster) is working and living a wonderful life in New York City without a care in the world. One night she and her fiancé, David (Naveen Andrews), are brutally attacked by three thugs in the park. David is killed and Erica is beaten within an inch of her life. Erica is traumatized to a point where she can not sleep and will not leave her apartment. To cope and work past this tragic event, Erica becomes someone else. She buys a gun and begins to roam the streets at night looking to take her revenge on the men who were responsible for killing her one true love.' Source IMDB



 

The new Buttonman story reads better if you view it as a spin-off story. Harry Exton appears to be a supporting character.  The other Buttonman series were about Harry. The title: The Hitman's Daughter, gives it a spin-off feel. Does anyone else feel this way? The change in artist also makes it feel more like a spin-off.

Prog 1556 - ABC Warriors Part 7. If you look at page three, the fifth panel on the far right you'll see Nemesis.

Not sure anyone spotted Nemesis but he's there. Take a look and you'll see. Nice to see him make a cameo.
