100 bullets how many issues

Shepard is settled at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. Something else mindblowingly good in Bullets? It is an epic saga that takes place across America with occasional stops in Mexico and Europe and each local is rendered near flawlessly. From the mood to the colors to the architecture, everything feels so real you can almost taste it. New Orleans at its best. If we ever had to give evidence that Bullets needed its own television series, we toss any tv executive a copy of this last issue, because hot damn is this an ending of legendary status.

This is not actually one that I can even discuss without going through the 99 issues that came before it because it is faithful to what demands to be called a saga. Dynasties end, killers retire their guns, and monsters live. For every finale that let you down, there will always be this issue of Bullets. This is it, the masterpiece in our not-so-humble opinion. The tragic story and there are many in this series of young love turning into old regret and vengeance.

We are given history, intrigue, mystery and sex in this strange one-off issue, as maybe the least sports literate of us exclaim in shock and realization at the ending.

That will probably please those who are looking forward to a some exciting action in their comics. Cons: The main concept of the story is pretty dumb. The first story in this book is awful. Uninteresting, poorly written and mostly predictable. The story about the gambler is kinda dumb.

The story in France is dumb and pretty much things that most readers have seen before, just poorly written. The final story was okay at first: there was a mix of things I loved and things I hated but then it has the worst ending possible. As in, the kind of ending that made me slightly mad. The art is poor quality IMO. The dialogue is horrible. Where do I begin? There were several lines that were in foreign languages even though this is an American comic.

Poor doggy died for no reason Overall: This is definitely one of those hyped up books that I ended up disliking. Not one of my least favorites but still pretty bad and there are many better crime stories to read. View all 9 comments.

This comic is very entertaining because there are constantly new characters and change in perspective. As the series goes on, you learn about the minute men and some underlying larger goal which may be behind Mr.

The story unfolds with Agent Graves providing random citizens an opportunity for revenge or some type of personal justice in a sense. The people seem random at first and the plot seems a little disjointed. Further reading into the novel some characters return and we develop a little more interest or back story, especially the Minutemen.

T Theres something about this book. The last few pages or story has intrigued me. Im not sure if it has this slow burn factor throughout thre next few series as well but some people say this novel hits highs very soon. Mar 30, Lono rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites.

I can't begin to describe how much this book kicks ass. An epic, noirish crime tale that's got enough sadistic tough guys, seductively evil bitches, dangerous street thugs, and devious criminal masterminds to give Jim Thompson a hard-on. Dark, malicious, and violent, it's not to everyone's taste, but it ranks among my all time favorites.

Azzarello's ability to write dialect and conversation is among the best and really helped suck me into his own personal version of perdition. Revenge is a corne I can't begin to describe how much this book kicks ass. Revenge is a cornerstone of this brilliant story where none of it's ill-fated denizens are safe. Risso's work breathes palpable life into the large cast of characters and is without a doubt his crowning achievement to date.

He uses perspective so well in his artwork and has some of the best page layouts around. My words can't do this masterpiece justice. Feb 25, Dave Schaafsma rated it liked it Shelves: gn-crime. So in many ways this is impressive: Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso do issues in months on deadline, doing all the story and pencilling by themselves, no subs.

And it's an interesting premise for a crime story: What if you could get revenge for something terrible that happened to you and be assured you would not get caught for it. Agent Graves comes to several people with this offer, and also with a briefcase to give said revengers full of a gun and untraceable bullets and pertinent in So in many ways this is impressive: Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso do issues in months on deadline, doing all the story and pencilling by themselves, no subs.

Agent Graves comes to several people with this offer, and also with a briefcase to give said revengers full of a gun and untraceable bullets and pertinent information to prove he knows whodunnit and how to find the guy and carry it out. Risso's art is really good, but I have been reading Frank Miller, to whom Risso owes a debt, I think, he's working in that big and splashy tradition, so Sin City is visually more impressive and the dialogue is better.

I have also been reading the work of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips and the work of Matt Kindt that I like much better for ideas and dialogue and complexity and artwork. I know a lot of people like it, and it is good, for sure, in the vein of straight up Jim Thompson gritty and violent pulp fiction. Azzarello's urban criminals of color, in particular, seem kinda cartoonish, not scary, and the dialogue I don't always quite buy.

But I will read on to book two of five! View all 8 comments. It starts slow then it switches to some other apparently unimportant story. It pissed me off in the beginning, because it definitely was not what I would've expected. I'm not necessarily a fan of the noir or pulp fiction, and this is just that - and in the beginning it felt like it will be a set of completely unrelated stories, with one common character.

But then some threads start to come together. Dizzy Cordova reappears, with less of that heavy accent, and it starts being part of a more comple It starts slow then it switches to some other apparently unimportant story. Dizzy Cordova reappears, with less of that heavy accent, and it starts being part of a more complex story. There are things happening in the background, and an overall interesting The only problem is that the story and the style gets better only after passing the first half of the first volume.

It doesn't become compelling until the second arc of Dizzy and the story of Loop, which closes this volume. So yes, it will take some motivation to read this volume, but there is great hope that the next ones get better Nice to see a creator given time to develop his story, not forced to rush the myth-making.

Reading this I was sure I'd go with a 2 out of 5 but by the end I was intrigued enough to bump it up to a 3. So basically it starts out with a guy names graves who gives you a gun with untraceable bullets and you can kill the person who has done you wrong.

So for the following pages it basically has a bunch of stories of different people all getting revenge or changing their minds or getting killed. By the end they all start to connect Good: The background story, who is graves, th Reading this I was sure I'd go with a 2 out of 5 but by the end I was intrigued enough to bump it up to a 3.

Good: The background story, who is graves, the minutemen, that was all interesting. I also thought some of the stories like ice cream man and father and son were pretty good. Bad: some of these stories were bad, especially the gambling one and the very first story.

Both were boring and very predictable. I also thought the art was just okay. The dialogue sometimes was atrocious. I get trying to do "slang" but it didn't always work. I'll give book 2 a chance down the line. DC is not exactly one of my favorite publishers, largely because of their shameless use of cheap materials, cutting every corner in order to maximize profit.

Their typical 'Deluxe Edition' is just a regular hardcover, most of the time. Beneath the dust jacket you usually find a particle board cover, with the title pressure-stamped on the front and the spine. The paper is always a bit thinner and cheaper than what it should be. Worst of all, they charge more instead of less, even though they get DC is not exactly one of my favorite publishers, largely because of their shameless use of cheap materials, cutting every corner in order to maximize profit.

Worst of all, they charge more instead of less, even though they get their lower-quality books printed in the largest quantities of any comic book company, and therefore are paying far less per unit than, say, Dark Horse. Regardless, a number of very talented people publish their stories under the aegis of DC, and a great many epic stories have been told Rarely has a collaboration between writer and artist been as seamless as the one that produced all issues of Bullets.

And there has never been an artistic accomplishment as impressive in every way as the work Eduardo Risso does here. His chiaroscuro - ligne claire style has echoes of Frank Miller, Jordi Bernet, and Milo Manara, but the sum is far greater than the individual parts; he captures brilliantly the sinister nature of Azzarello's storytelling from the very first page to the last, some later. It is a flawless performance Only a very, very talented artist can do that and still produce art that blows fans and peers away, snaring multiple Eisner awards in the process.

Some of my favorite artists have strapped themselves into the cold metal embrace of the monthly-comic-machine, and almost always get caught in the gears and pistons; Frank Quitely is on the same level, artistically, as Risso, with a ligne claire style that is similar, but Quitely rarely pencils more than 4 straight issues, even with a huge lead-in time; Guy Davis is another artist admired for his unique style and creative vision, and he insists on inking his own pencils.

His run on 'B. No artist of Eduardo Risso's caliber has been able to replicate his prolific abilities. I picked up all 13 volumes of the trade paperbacks collecting the series, and I hated them. The paper used is a kind DC picks for paperbacks, a pulpy mess one step above newsprint, rendering colors flat and murky, blacks dull and tending to bleed. I couldn't believe they would treat such beautiful art so badly, it was a fucking travesty.

The Fables deluxe editions, by contrast, average around pages, barely condensing the series at all volume 9 of the hardcovers collects material from volume 10 and some of 11 of the paperbacks.
