To coincide with the Image release of the new series, see where it all started. If you havenıt seen this series yet, that's because the single issues have sold out.

For decades The Silencers have been the superpowered enforcers of New York's Provenzano Crime Family, protecting them from "The Tights." When Cardinal, their fearsome leader, makes plans to retire from a life of crime, a rival syndicate makes a move against him, and the quiet life he's trying so hard to achieve may slowly trickle out of his grasp.

The Sopranos meets Powers in this explosive crime saga of honor and betrayal. This volume reprints the sold-out 4-part Mini series, plus extra stuff galore, like an original never before seen Silencers short comic story!

128 pages, $14.95.
