Awesome
I first saw this book in my local comics shop. I was interested in it, but I was skeptical, and didn't buy it. When I finally did get hold of a copy, I was enthralled. Amazing artwork, superb plotlines, and characters you can actually root for. One thing though, I found ithard to translate the street language used in the first story, but with a bit of thought, I got it sorted. The first story is a scorcher, with a neat little twist in the tale, and a cool climax. The second story is twice as good, with a violent yet toching plot, and leaves the reader with an ar of mystery at the end. If you read it, you'll find out what I mean. It also comes with a short story from Veryigo: Winter's Edge. As soon as I had finished it, I went out and got a copy of 100 Bullets 2, which was even better.
Black gender in your bookshelf.
Although maybe you can be on a first place dissapointed with the so perssonal work of Eduardo Risso, the team of this comic will surely change your mind. Brian Azzarello writes the script as if it was a movie, and Eduardo Risso draws the scenes with a very fluid style. The result is greatly joyful, with stories apparently unconnected but with a common nexus: who is Graves, and why is he doing what he does? Who are his enemies and who his allies?
This book compiles the first numbers of "100 Bullets" series. Award-winning of the Eisner prize, it's a black gender comic I personally encourage to try. Very, very recommended.
I own the first 3 books in this series
I have to say that Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso really have created a modern masterpiece with this series, it has brilliant characters coupled with amazing visuals. Take a trip into the dark/ seemy side of urban life and witness how people react when given the uneique chance that the mysterious Agent Graves offers.
