100 Bullets

I've been following this series diligently for over seven years now. Think Reservoir Dogs, Sopranos, Godfather, Wall Street and Maltese Falcon. I was hooked from the outset -- suspense was built with bits and pieces revealed gradually over the years now to culminate in a dramatic showdown in its final 100th issue. It has all the elements I like in stories - crime noir, a plot revolving around an ensemble of characters who are all well-defined, graphic violence, street dialogue, dark, gritty and  more twists and turns to the story-line than a snake in motion. 

There are no proponents of good here. Only people caught up in a whirlwind of shifting allegiances and betrayal. 

One theme is recurring -- that things are not what they seem.  A few of my favorite characters have already been killed off. You cannot get attached to anyone.

Five more issues to go. Can't wait to see how everything falls into place. Yet feeling sad that it's all coming to an end and nothing to look forward to. I cannot rant about it. You just have to pick it up and read it for yourself. It is quite an experience.
