An ex-con on parole can't catch a break living straight and participates in one last heist. He's double-crossed, and he turns to the cop who hates him the most to rescue his kidnapped daughter.
Well written, but the plot is way too basic. The story is 90% being miserable, the heist takes like two pages, and the ending is literally everyone meets, shoots each other, and the good guys live.
I try to be fair to older books that use these cliches, as it was less well-worn at the time, but all I could think of was almost the exact same story from Captain America comics involving a giant armadillo man.
