god I love the art in 100 bullets, Risso is a master of picking blacks/contrast

For me at least, those white on black smiles are iconic of his work and this comic in particular. They're always so sinister.

One of the best series ever

It definitely loses steam in the second half, but it's still a fun ride building up the mystery. Love the consistency in the art too; so few series manage to keep the same creative team throughout.

I was hoping HBO would adapt it properly

Milo is "trying" to warn Lono, but Lono is not having it.

I really need to track down a copy of Brother Lono as I have yet to read it.

My guess, is the guy in the bandages (B) is after the open collar guy (OC). However, OC is a moraless bastard and is taunting B to try shooting him right now while surrounded by innocents. If B trys something, OC will shoot as many people as he can with 100 bullets.

Correct the newspaper B reads has an article about what people OC might had killed

The guy in the collar is Lono he’s like if Marv from Sin City was a rapist serial killer. He wouldn’t think twice about killing those kids.

I just reread this issue last night, I love when Risso gets to draw a character grinning with fucked up teeth
