I have a vague memory of reading this back when it was almost new and getting hooked and it's easy to see why I liked it. It's like film noir vignettes that draw from all forms of low culture. I really like Dizzy's story and the writing is so good that I can hear the words in my head like if they were spoken by film actors. Overall I love the dark humor and moral ambiguity.

I especially like the storyline about the stripper fan who was framed for possessing child porn. My favorite individual panel so far comes from that one:



I've read the first part of the gambler's story (issue 6) and I'm definitely going to continue reading 100 Bullets.

This MB comic book club is a really good thing, I'd be up for continuing threads devoted to each title as we move forward.

Oh ****, forgot to update this. I guess, since we're up to issue six, we'll go up to issue ten by next Thursday? Good for everyone?

Sure. I think I'm already well past that.

Edit: Yep, I'm on issue #20.

I kinda ditched 100 Bullets. Was becoming bored. The gambler story made me snooze.
