Honestly, this book reads like one of the chapters of the Godfather. We have the Trust, the Minutemen and the Houses all scrambling for control of whatever it is they have left. Everybody wants a piece of the pie, but nobody wants to give anything up. Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso truly have a masterpiece on their hands here. The part that I liked the most about the story was that while all of this turmoil and backstabbing is going on, the Houses and the Trust are quietly making a move against one another. There's 2 shooters out there. One is sitting in a hotel room, quietly passing the time, enjoying some brandy or wine or something. He's patiently waiting for the right moment to strike. The other, as we go through the story, is making his way to the top of an office building . . I assume. As we go through the rest of the story, we quietly see him obtaining his position, within some abandoned offices, as he is also patiently waiting for the moment to strike. As I said, I think that one is gunning for the trust, while the other is aiming at the 2 remaining houses. Actually there's 2 more, Vasco and Medici, but they were prepared when none of the rest of them were. So they can stand alone. The other 2 have absorbed the rest, so they now control 8. Also, surprisingly, Lono make it off of Javier's estate. But it wasn't for the lack of them trying. He's seriously messed up by the time he makes it over the wall. And on the final page . . we see the shooter's target. Well . . not exactly. We see the hole through the glass . . and the spraying of blood. We don't know who actually got hit . . yet. I love this book. I can't believe we only have 3 issues to go. But I assume that's going to be the end of the story. It's all coming to it's inevitable conclusion.
