Books like 100 Bullets, Vol. 10: Decayed

It is with this volume, which collects issues 68-through-75, that I finally got myself a bit lost. (Shocking, but true.) Granted, the fact that Agent Graves is playing all of these characters off one another in his grand scheme to undermine the Trust and -- more specifically -- the House of Medici, is clearly still the underlying motive driving the basic plot of this series. But the double-crossing just gets plain more maddening with each new character that is added into the mix. (There really should be a guide made specifically for this series, as it is so easy to get lost on who is connected to whom, and how.) One major character who I – like others before me – believed bit the big-one several volumes back turns up alive and kicking. (Which is a total shocker.) And who is also more than eager to see Graves sent to his, umm, grave. (No pun intended there, folks.) But if I said anything more, that would be spoiling it for you 100 Bullets virgins out there. And speaking of whom: If you haven’t already – and if you love sexy and gritty crime noir revenge tales -- I highly recommend you pick up this series. Don’t walk -- run.
