So why three stars then? (1) The art is borderline putrid. Sheppard also make for interesting reading. While the average characters are usually low level criminals or losers, the chain of events is quite large and connected. That in and of itself would make this an interesting enough story.īut there is more- who is Graves? whom does he work for? The mystery of XIII and the Minutemen has an additional layer of complexity in this story. From dead family to betrayal by close friends, each of the people have an opportunity to gain revenge for previous acts. That is the scenario that awaits each of the people visited by Agent Graves. In fact, the whole incident will just go away. If you use the gun and kill them, then you will not be sent to prison nor prosecuted. Inside is a gun, 100 bullets and a folder full of information about someone who has completely screwed you over.
I don't see it personally, but that doesn't make it true.ġ00 Bullets is a "gritty" crime noir story with a twist. I think this is a graphic novel aimed at a different audience than myself because it seems to be quite beloved. Or maybe not? It was kind of hard to decide who I should be rooting for most of the time. And I think those were supposed to be the good guys. It's a book about thugs, murderers, and rapists doing gross things to people.
I guess the old white dude is up to something nefarious, but by the time I got around to reading that part, I couldn't have given less of a shit. I mean, it did start coming together, but it didn't start coming together into anything special. <-this was my cycle over several weeksīut I'd heard that at some point, this would stop being weird little one-shots and start coming together into something special, so I kept on chugging along. I'd read a little, my mind would wander, and I'd go do something else. Here's the thing: I was hyper-bored for the majority of the issues. And for a brief moment in the middle, I really thought I might end up liking the story! So, I've been slowly learning to broaden my horizons - yay!Īnd it wasn't even the ugly art that did me in, because I really think I could have gotten used to it if I'd liked the story even a little bit. I put off reading some awesome stuff ( Preacher & Planetary come to mind) simply because it didn't sound like my jam and then they knocked my socks off. From the description, I kind of thought I wouldn't like it, but you just never know.
