I'm pretty interested in Scud.
I've seen him around for a while, but listen to the Wiki description:
Scud: The Disposable Assassin (published from
1994 to
1998, and
2008) is a humorous, hyperkinetic
science fiction comic by
Rob Schrab about a world in which one can buy robot assassins out of
vending machines, the most popular of which are intelligent
robots that kill a specified target and then
self-destruct.
The
protagonist of the series is Scud, an average Heart Breaker Series 1373 model
assassin. On his first mission, he is sent to kill Jeff, a rampaging female mutant with mousetraps for hands, an electrical plug for a head, and a squid for a belt.
During his first mission, Scud glances in a mirror and sees the warning label on his back explaining how he will self-destruct upon completion of his mission. Realizing that he doesn't want to die, Scud mortally wounds Jeff, shooting off her arms and legs, then takes her to a hospital placing her on life support ensuring their mutual survival.

Scud: TDA's main plot follows Scud's career as a
freelance mercenary and assassin, working to pay off Jeff's medical bills.
With a synopsis like that, it's gotta be worth a look right?
