100 bullets - Croatoa

Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso have been writing this monthly comic since the late 90s. They are now up to issue 78 (out of an apparent 100) with their tales of Minutemen, briefcases with untraceable bullets and shadowy characters called Graves and Shepherd linked to an organisation called The Trust. What make this comic such an interesting proposition is the moral dilemnas the writers immerse the characters in. The briefcase is given to a character living on the margins of society and whose life has hit rock bottom. It usually contains 100 bullets and information on a person who has negatively affected the character's life. The character has the opportunity to revenge themselves with the guarantee that as soon as these bullets are investigated, the investigation ceases.
The links to film noir are apparent in the artwork, dialogue and the settings the characters inhabit.
Azzarello has written some fantastic comics over the last number of years with his work on Batman, Daredevil and more recently the Western series "Loveless". This set features his best work and is worth checking out.
