100 Bullets #06: Six Feet Under the Gun by Brian Azzarello
100 Bullets #06: Six Feet Under the Gun

starbyness, May 21, 2010

The stakes get higher and higher. As Agent Graves is not only playing a game with the lives of ordinary people, but both the trust and the Minutemen. The complexity grows sharper and finer. Why is Dizzy or any of the other
seemingly down on their luck individuals in this series being puppeteered? Furthermore, who is the Puppet Master; who is really in control? Graves or Medici? As the story twists and turns, the plot thickens. This is quite possibly one of the only Graphic novels that can truly get adrenaline pumping.

100 Bullets #05: The Counterfifth Detective by Brian Azzarello
100 Bullets #05: The Counterfifth Detective

starbyness, May 21, 2010

This installment doesn't waste any time with sides stories of Grave's "game." It jumps right into the main story of a man who is a detective. He is hired to find a stolen painting. The painting eventually leads him to "The Trust." Where both "The Trust," and the man find they have a lot more in common than they believed. The trust is described in a stronger light and the reader is slowly but surely finding their way through the maze that constitutes this action thrill ride of a series.

Volume four. The reader is finally introduced to "The Trust," Minutemen are popping out of the woodworks, but what exactly is their relationship? And most importantly, why does the Trust believe the Minutemen to be dead?
With bodies dropping like flies, Volume four ensures bloodshed, drug smuggling and all the other action filled crazes that makes this series a face paced crime drama that will keep the reader puzzled till the end.

100 Bullets #03: Hang Up on the Hang Low by Brian Azzarello
100 Bullets #03: Hang Up on the Hang Low

starbyness, May 21, 2010

The third volume of Azarello's 100 Bullets introduces new characters, sub plots that appear to effect the plot in the long run. Not only is the reader now wondering who "The Trust" is, but what are "The Minutemen" ? What happened in Atlantic city, and why wasn't Lono invited? As Agent Graves continues his "Game;" the consequences seem to become more dangerous. In this third volume, characters begin to cross paths as you see the tangled web that has been woven start to intersect. The crime action thriller feel doesn't let it's guard down for a second.

100 Bullets #02: Split Second Chance by Brian Azzarello
100 Bullets #02: Split Second Chance

starbyness, May 21, 2010

The second Volume of Azarello's 100 Bullets brings more into play. This second book begins the main plot line that appears to be covered up by Agent Graves's "Game." What is his agenda and who are "The Trust." This series continues to draw you in, with characters that might remind you of your parents, your neighbor, or simply that guy walking down the street. As the main story picks up, the end of this volume stacks up questions and begins the anticipation of what's to come next. This series is always exciting and reads like a fast paced action thriller crime drama.
