100 Bullets, Book One by Eduardo Risso, Brian Azzarello
3.0

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 459 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...kind of.

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.

A 2.5-3 out of 5. I'll give book 2 a chance down the line.
