100 Bullets #79 - Vertigo


This is one frackin' fantastic book. The thought that Brian Azzarello put's into this series is incredible. You end up liking all the characters. Whether they're good guys, bad guys, nice guys or ass holes, you still are surprised and upset when one of them is removed. Even though you know it was inevitable. This time we lose Wylie. I mean, we knew eventually this is what is was gonna' come to. But still. And it was quick too. One minute he's talking to Cole and Remi, then BANG!! he's gone. Nothing long, drawn out or emotional. Just "doin' the job". And then Eduardo Risso's art, what can I say. Remember how Frank Miller set the style in the '70s, well that's how I feel about Risso's art today. His shading and his lines are fantastic. And the way he sets his panels, the angles and shadows and lighting he uses, he's a master. I think that in the future, when we look back, we're going to see this as one of the best creative teams in the field, during this time. I really can't give these guys enough props.
