Written by Brian AzzarelloArt by Eduardo Risso
There's a lot that goes on in this volume of 100 Bullets. By this point in the series, many of the secrets of the book have become clear: who is appearing to work for who, which families are trying to take over the Trust, all of that. At the same time, it seems more than likely to expect a twist or two along the way.
Azzarello's writing never fails to surprise. There is one pretty significant death in this book that I didn't expect, although its probably not as consequential as the one that finished the last volume.
What really makes this title interesting to me are the numerous side stories and sub-plots that appear. Sometimes, I think these stories are Risso's contribution, as they aren't scripted: take for example the fat lady who almost gets mugged towards the end of the book - the script deals with a conversation between Lono and Medici in a tobacconists shop, and the action with the fat lady takes place outside. The longer sub-plot in this volume involves Spain, a NY tough, Tino, a Miami bell-boy, his baby mama, and Bosco, a local drug dealer. While their story overlaps in many places with the main plot, it stands as its own tale, a particularly cruel one at that.
