100 Bullets #3

The six-Eisner-Award-winning crime series by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso reaches its third collected volume, and Dave Johnson's cover art makes a striking case for why the Chicago Sun-Times called it "one of the greatest works of crime fiction in any medium." A snarling, green-tinted face dominates the composition, surrounded by a web of red-splashed vignettes — a woman holding a rose, a gathering crowd, a stern silver-haired man, a mysterious hand branded with Roman numeral XIII, and a figure caught in a moment of violence — all radiating outward like fractured memories or converging conspiracies. It's a rich, unsettling collage that captures the layered, morally tangled world this series has built, and Book III promises more of the noir complexity that has made 100 Bullets essential Vertigo reading.
