Intriguing first volume of the series. A mystery man shows up at your home/job/wherever you are and offers you 100 untraceable bullets, a gun and freedom from the law to murder someone who did you or your loved ones wrong. This comic is not for the faint-of-heart. Good amounts of bloodshed and violence happen throughout the novel. Can't wait to read what happens next. ( )

The first volume of the collected 100 Bullets is great stuff - what starts off as a seemingly cliched bit of noir fiction takes on some really original and fascinating dimensions over the course of these pages. Eduardo Risso's world-class artwork is the main reason to visit this locale, but Brian Azzarello's story quickly begins to demand attention as well - at the end of this volume, I am generally eager to move on to the second volume and figure out where all of this is going to go. There's some silliness herein, so the series could go south into formulaic genre muck, or it could play to a set of obvious strengths and take readers somewhere they have never been before. Here's hoping the latter case proves to win out in future volumes... ( )

I've been intrigued by this for a little while and picked it up in the bookshop to read over coffee. The thing that got me to fork out the cash was the fact that the main character of the first story was female. I did like this volume. Trouble is, I honestly don't know if I want to read the next one. The stories were good, and there is some hint of a backplot and something bigger going on, but is it enough to keep this interesting over several volumes? I honestly don't know.

Bechdel: pass. ( )

The premise is fantastic, as is the writing, but this volume is more of an intro. Things really kick into gear as time goes on.

Risso's artwork is fantastic and fits perfectly. ( )

One of the best crime dramas ever written.

This is the first volume of several that tell the story of Agent Graves, the Minutemen, and the Trust. It's a story about the forming of America, betrayal, political intrigue, and how far people will go to get the things that they want.

This trade, collecting the initial story of Dizzy Cordova, and her revenge made available by her the mysterious Agent Graves and his case of untraceable bullets.

A beautiful beginning to a beautiful story. ( )
