Yet even with over 1k pages ploughed through, there are still far many more to be explored in this richly textured narrative of crime, blood, and guts.Īzzarello and Risso continue to KILL IT with this exceptionally satisfying 3rd volume. Through which multiple threads of yarn are all linked across an increasingly complex quilt of the comic variety. Thoughtfully well distilled, the temporal Post-Modern slicing and dicing a la Pulp Fiction, its progenitor, and Scalped its sequentially illustrated cousin, has been utilized to stunning effect. Well protecting its secrets, the nuts and bolts of this illustrated automaton can be sensed but,still enshrouded enough to keep us interested. Finally, able to walk on its own, the shadowiness has been lifted somewhat above the level of vague but hardly transparent. What has been merely hinted at before, has had muscle and guts added to its misty skeletal structure. Draped and crimson and churned alongside hefty doses of history and conspiracy, the result is frothy with life-addled excellence. Only adding to the vast deluge of blood, the origin myth of 100 Bullets is spelled with the red ink of spilled its own life fluid. With 2 Herculean mega-compendiums down, the 1k page count is passed.
