    Lucky-Loki: While approaching from wildly different premises, this comic and this TV series share the "what would you do" morality questions, the intense thriller feel, and the hidden, secret conflict that is taking place right under everyday people's noses.

I finally managed to acquire the entire 100 Bullets series, so now I'm going through it.

And wow. This first one? The art? The writing? The concept?

Brilliant. ( )

Noirish with a hint of a larger mythology: I'm rather liking this. ( )

This was recommended by a complete stranger and it was a nice surprise. I really liked it despite not being a fan of criminal stories. The plot is fast paced with cool dialogues and the characters are well constructed. I'm looking forward to get my hands on the next volume! ( )

100 Bullets is an ambitious crime drama comic series, of which this graphic novel reprints the first five issues.

These first two story lines, "100 Bullets" and "Shot, Water Back", set up the premise the series is built upon. Individuals from all walks of live are approached by a mysterious man bearing an unusual gift; a suitcase containing a gun, one hundred untraceable bullets, and evidence pointing them to someone who has wronged them in the past.

But the offer of unpunished retribution is far from simple than it sounds, as the people suddenly faced with this blank check for revenge suddenly find themselves dealing with the concepts of Justice, Innocence, Morality, Loyalty, and Retribution.

Azzarello not only brings these philosophical dilemmas into the light, but also enhances them with mystery surrounding 'Agent Graves' and his offer. A chance at vengeance is a tempting offer, but what are the ulterior motives of the man with the briefcase? Does the chance to settle a score outweigh the risk of being used as a weapon for someone else's battle? What is truly at stake here, and who is really pulling the strings?

The first two story lines in 100 Bullets take us from crooked cops and greedy gang bangers in the urban jungles, to internet crimes and corporate power brokers. The stories and situations are modern, yet there is an undeniable Noir tone throughout, an unrelenting mood that never lets you forget that, despite the occasional moments of brightness and levity, there are no happy endings when violence and vengeance become a part of the background.

Mr. Evens gives disgruntled untraceable gun, protection and 100 bullets
  ritaer | Aug 24, 2021 |
100 Bullets: First Shot, Last Call is a stunning masterpiece of moral ambiguity. This gritty crime-noir series is incredibly dark and surreal, offering some of the most intense and twisting stories ever seen in any media, let alone comic books. With dark, atmospheric art that fits the plot like a tailor-made suit, this is as good as non-superhero comics get.
