In this fourth volume of the Harvey and Eisner-winning series 100 Bullets, Azzarello continues many of the plot-lines that have been developing since the earlier volumes. What is becoming more apparent are the two opposing forces (or “camps”) at work in this deliciously intriguing crime noir universe. Or more specifically, Mr. Shepherd versus Agent Graves. A duality that reminds me of what I love best about Lost and, a long time ago, Twin Peaks.

In this volume, the story of the Minutemen unfolds. We become introduced to some of the players involved with events that happened in Atlantic City; which culminates in the death of a member of the Trust.
Shepherd looks into someone that will be revived as a Minuteman; only he lacks the kind of code that was used to reactivate Cole Burns.
We see that Graves has been playing his 'game' for quite sometime in a story about an event in Dallas.

This is my favourite volume of the "100 bullets" series as it has a mixture of all the things that make the comic great. We finally get a lot more information on the Trust and why Agent Graves and the minutemen exist. It also becomes clear that the people receiving the 100 bullets are pawns in a far bigger game than they realise and this is brilliantly revealed in Azzarello's take on the JFK assassination. This volume also introduces Jack and Wylie Tymes, two very distinct characters t

The crime cartels get a chance for the spotlight in Azzarello's fourth volume. As we look at the various driminal heads mixed up in Graves' conspiracy, the true gem shines as an elderly ball player is given his chance to make amends over the death of his Hollywood starlet. Hints of Marilyn Monroe abound, but pay attention to Graves second reason for visiting the hospital...

Some absolutely GREAT stories in this volume, set off by Mr. Branch's expose on an outsider's dangerous view into the Trust, the Minutemen, and the whole shebang that's unfolding in 100 Bullets. We also meet a couple of supposed former Minutemen in heroin addict Jack and, my favorite character of the series, Wylie Times... who has a strange and not-so-chance encounter with someone you might recognize from the first volume. Also, Agent Graves' plans begin to come to fruition as we see him move ag

At this point, I'm wishing that I hadn't returned the first three books to the library, because I would love to go back and re-read them now that more of the story is coming together. I especially want to re-read Mr. Shepherd's scenes, since I thought he and Mr. Graves were working together before - now it's clear that their interests aren't exactly aligned, and I'm wondering how that information colors those earlier scenes. I think that this will be one of those series that is even better the s

The plot line is starting to come more together in this volume. The trust is being revealed little by little and more is coming into light about Shepard vs. Graves. So far this series is great and I can see why it won an Eisner award.

My mind is blown!! There is so much going on in here I can hardly keep up. I loved the stories. I love the background about the Minutemen and the Trust. What wouldn't Graves do?! I can't wait to find out.

The story really starts to flesh out here. Characters are given more depth and some of the major players come to the forefront. I'm in!

Brian Azzarello makes 100 Bullets a crime crazy 3-ring circus. While Agent Graves talks to Cole Burns on a park bench some gang bangers are fixing to blow each other away over a drug deal gone bad, meanwhile Dizzy is running across the Mexican border with Wiley, Branch is in some run-down Parisian hotel with a gorgeous but crooked hooker, Benito is gambling in Atlantic City, the next in the bloodline to head Daddy's crime dynasty and Megan is running after him like a sexed-out harpy, and watch

The plot around the thirteen families of the Trust and the Minutemen thickens. I begin to see why people praise this book. Still, I just can't find the stuff of genius here, though it definitely is plain good fun and I intend to stay for the rest of the ride.

I think this one's the beefiest of the 13, 100 Bullets installments, but much to my chagrin, it turns out that it is not a single, 12-issue story arc. It's a bunch. It's still good, and obviously fits into what the over-all story is, but it wasn't the meat I was looking for. But I still enjoy this series, and am curious to read through it to completion.

Not my favorite of the series, if only for containing two of the weaker installments of the series. Mr. Branch's recap of what's going on, while helpful, feels more than a little forced and fake, while the Joe DiMaggio story feels completely out of place.

the middle was a bunch of crap--assassination bs.
but the beginning made a lot of things make more sense. and the last story was pretty tight.

I'm impressed with the introduction of new characters. This is like Sin City, but deeper, dare I say!

Excellent! If you've not read the first book in the series than don't start with this.
