100 Bullets #90 - Vertigo


Man this series is intense. We got two stories going on right now, but really they're the same thing, just told from a different perspective. Cole has recently abandoned Remi. He's come to talk to Jack and Loop about switching sides. He thinks maybe he'll come to work for Lono also. At least that's what he's telling him. Right now, it seems that no one knows what his real motives are. At the same time, we're watching this little street kid, Pip, as he's trying to work his way up the ladder, working for Leon. The two stories coincide, in the way they're being handled, so much so that the final couple of pages are all Lono and his crew's conversation, but alternating between panels of both stories. And, actually, it flows seamlessly. Like I said, it's the same story, just told from different perspectives. One from the street, and one from a pool-house in Miami. I think Brian Azzarello is one of the best writers out there. And, he's been truly blessed to have had Eduardo Risso working on this series right from the very beginning. They make an absolutely incredible team. This issue was another cinematic masterpiece from Eduardo. I'll really be surprised if we don't see parts of this story adapted in to a movie sometime in the next 10 years. It would be incredible.
