Customer Reviews

excellent noir graphic novel
This is an excellent graphic novel. The cover is eye-catching and intriguing and carries the feel of the 30s and 40s movie posters- which the book is in many ways: true noir for the 21st century.

This is the first 100 Bullets collection I've read: it is a tremendous read. I've read other works by Brian Azarello (Cage, Banner) and this shares the hallmarks of those: his writing is crisp and the characterization excellent. The dialogue of each character weighs up well with their personality and conflicts. The plot is inventive, particuarly good is the ongoing 100 Bullets theme: the `opportunity' of the briefcase and its eponymous contents.

The main character is a devastating individual, tremendously focussed, self-sufficient and very dangerous- reminiscent of `Marv' in the `Sin City' series, but much more intelligent and not quite as good a fighter.

The artwork is at first glance typical comic-book art and no great shakes, but a you get into the book the art works well and does support the film noir atmosphere perfectly: some of the stylization is excellent. Perhaps the effect would have been greater were the art to be in black and white, `Sin City' fashion. It works well none the less.

Overall this is a great graphic novel and an absolute must to any fan of the crime thriller movies they don't seem to make any more. Intelligent, captivating and with good action- a great read: I just wish I got around to this series sooner!

I really do like 100 Bullets
I Like 100 Bullets.
Alot.

This is the Fifth book and the series goes from strength to strength.

Brian Azzarello writes strong stories that stand on their own but it is the depth of thought that goes into the ongoing storyline that is strong. As with many 100 Bullets story line this one will raise as many questions as it answers and keep the reader guessing.

If there is any thing that detracts from the quality of the book is Risso artwork that is an aquired taste. Many of my friends who have read this book dislike it but I however really do like it and so that is why I gave this book 5 stars.

It would be important to point out that this is the fifth book and for a new reader it would be advised to start with the first Trade paperback "First Shot, Last Call"
