100 Bullets #75 - Vertigo


I know I've said this more than once, but, I've been a fan of this book since it's inception. Love the story telling. Love the art. This issue we meet a new recruit, Dustin. He's sitting on a park bench, contemplating the attache case that's been given him by Graves. Contemplating the evidence that he has to swallow. And contemplating the aspects of the gun, the bullets, and what he's been told about them. But then Lono shows up to screw up his perspective a little bit more. During the course of this, a real slime ball comes into contact with Dustin, but Lono scares him off. But he does catch up with the homeless couple that Dustin came in contact with before that. He coaxes them into his car, and as their driving off, you get a glimpse of the hunting knife, ducktape, and rope under his seat. Looks like there's another serial killer on the loose. But anyways, Dustin has this plan to shoot the girl when she comes out of the restaurant, or go in and do it while she's eating. His plans really not that concrete yet. But because of Lono's talk, he lets her come out of the restaurant and start moseying down the street. The final frame he asks Lono what he would do, and Lono just looks back at him with his devilish grin. Awesome book. This one has had me sucked in for all 75 issues.
