100 Bullets # 74 - Vertigo

This has been an awesome series right from the get go. We've gotten past the individual stories, where soldier's mettle were tested. Now we are into the thick of things with the Hand and the 13. We have the families all vying for control of the Trust. We also see that the families are struggling within themselves for who will control the families. And we still don't know what CROATOA means. This series has really put a twist on the classic mob and gangster stories. You end up feeling for characters that are really bad people, and do some pretty gruesome stuff. But you still side with them, because you can feel thier frustration and anguish. This series is definitely a milestone in the comics forum, and I think will go down as a turning point for the whole medium. And I'm not just blowing smoke here, I mean, look at all the awards it's won. And I still think Eduardo Risso is the best thing since Frank Miller.
