100 Bullets Volumes 9: Strychnine Lives, by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso
The most difficult – or is that annoying? – part of reading Strychnine Lives is not having read volume eight, as my hold request on the latter through my local public library system is back-logged due to there only being one copy in the entire system. (Hard to believe, as there are multiple copies of all the other volumes in this series. But whatever.)
Despite this, it isn’t all that hard to fill...more

Catchy title for an April’s Fool’s Day post. I didn’t make this one up; it is really a graphic novel. This series has become very popular, and has been suggested to me by many people so I gave it a shot. Speaking of April Fool’s Day, I will be talking to Rose Valenta the humorist, this evening at 7pm EST. No kidding. So what is in this real graphic novel?

Well, this is the last volume of this series I'll be able to read for awhile, or at least, until the rest of them show up at work. I'm kind of glad though - I was getting slightly burnt out. For one, I never have a sense of knowing just what the hell is going on in this series! The plot that Azzarello has planned out is very intricately laid out, and I imagine it won't make much sense until the grand finale, which is all well and good, but... throw me a friggin' bone here. All I can ascertai...more
Lono is back in the house - or to be precise, the houses of the shadowy crime cartel called the Trust. As Graves continues to assemble his players, Lono shows the readers why he is the most dangerous character in the game. I would not want to meet up with him in a dark alley. Or anywhere for that matter!
The momentum of the series continues to build in this volume as the pieces on the chessboard move around again. There's a lot of meat to this volume as alliances are made and broken. The fun part of this volume is seeing various cast members' stories intertwine and link up, providing all new starting points and some shocking new possibilities. By this point, Azzarello has all but abandoned the "common man" stories that marked the first couple of stories and focused directly on the main...more
I am not sure where all this is going, but I am intrigued. I am trying to keep the story lines and characters straight. Also, Dizzy is not as hot as those guys think she is.
And the strange story continues. I have been really enjoying these tales of the Trust and the Minutemen.
Featuring an "unrelated" subplot with dog-eating as the tipping point for a Tarantino-style group-autodestruct scene... hmmm I wonder if this will parallel any little conflicts between the 13 Families?
Another brilliant Agent Graves scene too, featuring the following catchphrase: "passive... aggressive... pussy."
The AARP should really adopt sixtysomething Graves as a mascot -- the guy's practically a geronto-superhero, staring down gun-toting toughs a...more

Good read.
Loved it, although I have to confess I'm getting a little lost with the constantly shifting loyalties and betrayals going on. It doesn't help that I'm having trouble telling some of the Minutemen apart. Also, the sudden lovestruck obsession everyone seems to have for Dizzy is coming out of nowhere, but I'm willing to see where it's going.
Gritty, pretty books, though I've forgotten much of the plot from the early volumes, so the larger plot was pretty much lost on me in reading these.
Some great political scheming here, this elevates 100 Bullets from a simple, dirty noir. Nice.
K, so I'm pretty desensitized to violence, but wow.
