100 Bullets is Baaaaack

[comicsnyc22]

Before you start groaning, it sounds like the original creative team will be helping out.

 

From iFanboy:

 

"But the biggest, most buzzable news of the panel is 100 Bullets is back. Before you cry “Before Watchmen” and start ranting all over the web, both Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso are back to tell this story, based on an idea Risso had in the euphoria of Spain winning the World Cup a couple years ago. The comic, published by Vertigo, will center on Brother Lono and is, according to Azzarello, “not what you expect.”"

100 bullets was awesome, but it ended. They should just leave it be. Where's Vol 2 of Spaceman?

i read the first TPB yesterday of the original series. i wasnt overly impressed.

[comicsnyc22]

Really? I thought it was an all-timer. Really loved this book.

[ThoseBackPages]

yep. i picked up the TPB run on eBay over the winter at about $5 per book, figured it was worth a shot seeing as much praise as it got here on the boards.

 

the dialog of the first arc was difficult to read with all the forced "ghetto slang". The premise of it seems good, but the art doesnt impress me much.

As you read the series, it get's much better. Just read at least one or two more trades before you make final judgement.

I know it's different for everyone, but I really thought it came out swinging from the start. I was hooked from the first trade and haven't looked back.

100 Bullets has to be one one of my favorite series of all-time. It starts off with such a simple premise, but then just keeps building into a larger story. I still marvel about how Azarrello was able to weave everything together given the multitude of characters and intricacies of the plot. I know there were once discussions about a TV series on Showtime. I think it would be incredible to see this series play out on the small screen if done right. If there's anyone out there who hasn't read 100 Bullets yet, I can't recommend it enough.

Anybody pick up Brother Lono #1? I bought a copy but won't get to read it until later.

 

As for the discussion above, I too didn't care for the first TPB but am glad I stuck with it. The story didn't really pick up for me until the second or third book, but then I was hooked.

[mysterio]

Just read the story, and I'm in for the rest of the series. If you're a fan of the original you should pick this up, it's like a blast from the past. Great book.

Read it yesterday and was completely sucked in.

[mysterio]

#2 tomorrow!

Love 100 Bullets - have a 9.8 blue for sale at this very moment - top,top book.

I'm glad the 'new' books are just as gritty.

[Balham's Finest]

It was a great series - but I do think it tailed off a bit towards the end.

 

Absence makes the heart grow fonder though - I thought the first issue of Brother Lono was very good, and I'll be picking up the rest.

[rjpb]

2nd issue is great, makes me want to dig out the 100 bullets run and read it again.

[chrisco37]

I'll be picking up the trade once it's complete. I love the series.

 

Here's a commission I had done many moons ago:
