Right now, this story's time-line is bouncing all over the place. We start out right in the beginning when Javier, Augustus and Phil were first putting the trust together . . and the Minutemen. Javier makes a comment back then, when they're toasting each other that now, with everything that's happened, seems very ironic . . . "What we've done . . the three of us . . wasn't easy. But what we do . . we do for only the best intentions." There's a few pots simmering in this story, but this one really focus' on them cutting Agent Graves out of the equation. It appears there's been this guy, Rothstein, that's been helping out Graves all along. He's connected to everybody, " . . Local, CIA, FBI . . even higher." He's been the one supplying Graves with the attaches . . the 100 Bullets . . the means for revenge. But now that player . . Graves connection to the whole game . . has been removed. His game is over. He's been taken out of the equation. At least as far as they know. But I'm thinking . . Agent Graves is a pretty smart cookie. I can't imagine that he would put all his eggs in the same basket. So I'm thinking that he's still going to be able to cause this new Trust . . and it's Minutemen . . more problems than they're probably expecting. As usual Brian Azzarello turns in a brilliantly compelling story. And, as usual, Eduardo Risso's artwork just further enhances the mood created by the story. They are truly a match made in heaven. Comic-book heaven. You know the one . . where all the books are free, and everything is illustrated by your favorite artists. Ha-ha! This really is a special book, though. Like I said, I could see it being a movie someday.
