100 bullets #12

Last night – often I read a comic before falling asleep…. you know what they say; a comic a day keeps the doctor away. Sometimes, I take a break during the day where I catch up on the more technical reading, like “How to draw Noir Comics” by Shawn Martinbrough or “The Lexicon of Comicana” by Mort Walker – more about these in a separate post. So, last night, I caught up on the saga of Agent Graves in the 12th volume of 100 Bullets and I just love the artwork of  Edoard Risso (think I got most of what has been published, either in English or French). Brian Azzarello is still keeping the story going, but I now start to loose track of the initial compelling idea of getting a briefcase with 100 untraceable bullets allowing you to be above, or rather way below, the law. Now the story line, built up of several shorter, yet somewhat loosely connected stories, is about how the families (I lost track of how many they were/are) mutually cleans up their past “relationships”. Having said that, love the artwork, still in to the story and waiting to get my fingers around #13
