Synopsis

The awesome creators behind Batman: Broken City (now available from Titan), Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso, slap in a fresh clip of 100 Bullets - the smash-hit crime saga that begs the question: if you were given a gun, 100 untraceable bullets and carte blanche to do anything you liked with them, what would you do? In 'Prey For Reign', Mr. Shepherd reveals the plot that caused the establishment of both the Trust - the organisation that rules America from behind the scenes - and the Minutemen, the killers who police the 13 families of the Trust. And in 'Wylie Runs the Voodoo Down', Wylie Times, last seen in A Foregone Tomorrow, makes a shattering return to the story - with Dizzy Cordova, Agent Graves, Mr. Shepherd and Anwar Madrid, a leading member of the Trust, all snapping at his heels!

About this title

About the Author:

Brian Azzarello is one of the biggest names in comics after his work on 100 Bullets, Batman, Superman and Jonny Double catapulted him to the forefront of contemporary comics writers. Eduardo Risso has worked with Azzarello on many of the above titles, and is rapidly ascending the ranks of critical and fan popularity.

From Publishers Weekly:

This Eisner Award–winning series continues its exploration of contemporary American noir through its ingenious gimmick: mysterious Agent Graves offers a gun and 100 untraceable bullets to those who are looking for vengeance. This outing starts in a seedy dive in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a city with dark underbelly to spare. A showdown is brewing between story regulars and one-time allies Graves and Wiley Time, a young man seeking his own, not necessarily firearm-related brand of vengeance. Things rapidly get ugly, and not a little confusing, when Wiley walks into the bar, looking for a way out of the ugly direction his life is headed. Before the story's over, much killing takes place, as a dark cabal that's been in the background since the series began attempts to keep tabs on who's shot whom. Risso's art is the perfect foil for Azzarello's dark, sexy story; sunshine is seen only as a reflection in a puddle of beer on the bar, and beauty is as fleeting as the jazz of an innocent trumpeter who exits the tale in a particularly poignant (and painful) way. Although the complicated back story makes this a hard book to jump into, the glorious, relentlessly dark mood will reward those who stick with it. (July)
