100 Bullets (Comic Book) | comment |
100 Bullets is an American Comic Book series written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Eduardo Risso. Since its debut in 1999, it has received much critical praise and gone on to win several awards such as the prestigious Eisner Award for Best Serialized Story. The series ended on April 2009 at (you guessed it) 100 issues, collected together in 13 trade paperbacks.The general premise of 100 Bullets is simple at first. A storyline would focus on a new Victim of the Week who has been horribly wronged by another individual and, as a result, had their life ruined. At this low point in their life, they're approached by a man in a black business suit holding a suitcase and going by the name of Agent Graves. He offers them a chance at revenge with absolutely no strings attached: inside the suitcase is a picture of the individual responsible for the person's woes, irrefutable evidence that supports this claim, and an untraceable handgun with exactly one hundred untraceable bullets; Graves also guarantees that if the gun and bullets are used, any investigation into a crime attached to the bullets will be stopped, ensuring that the crime will never be prosecuted.The initial volumes of 100 Bullets revolve around the Shades of Conflict Graves' offer yields for the person he approaches; the main conflict is over whether they should indeed commit a murder they know they can get away with in order to obtain a sense of closure. Graves does not judge anyone he approaches for their decision, but simply makes the offer and lets the person choose as they wish. Sometimes these characters will come back, while others have a very minor impact on the overall story.Soon enough, the focus of 100 Bullets expands to include Agent Graves himself, as it is revealed that he does benefit from these acts of revenge. Sometimes it's because he wants a particular person killed for his own ends, and sometimes he just wants to see his unique brand of justice carried out. It just so happens that Graves is the leader of an elite group of badasses known as The Minutemen, who acted as the police force for The Trust, a group of thirteen powerful families that control the United States. Graves and The Minutemen left The Trust after being told that they are no longer necessary by order of The Trust's leader, Augustus Medici. The Trust plotted to kill them all, but thanks to Graves' inside man Mr. Shepherd, The Minutemen were spared and given new lives - along with a healthy dose of Fake Memories and Laser-Guided Amnesia.Now Graves is making preparations to exact his own revenge by gathering his Minutemen once more. At the same time, Augustus is making a few power plays of his own concerning both Graves and the other twelve familes of The Trust... | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_112daba0 | comment |
Retired Badass: Will Slaughter is a former Minuteman who raised his own replacement and is now living happily married to a younger woman with three beautiful little girls. Then the remaining Trust heads request he comes out of retirement... Somewhat subverted because Slaughter still worked as a hitman to provide for his family. He may not have been taking orders from the Trust anymore, but that doesn't mean he wasn't making use of his very special skill set. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Issue #27 features an elderly baseball player who is clearly Joe DiMaggio, who'd been given one of Mr. Graves' briefcases back in 1962. He used it to shoot JFK, although he's not sure if he killed the man. After all, he was one of four gunmen that day. | |

Who Shot JFK?: Dealt with in one issue that also partially introduces Milo. While Joe DiMaggio is stated to be the man on the grassy knoll, he is not directly stated to be Kennedy's killer. Instead, Graves suggests he could have fired the killing shot, but there were also other people operating for reasons separate to DiMaggio's that were in Dallas that day. Graves also adds that whether DiMaggio made the kill is beside the point, given he still got what he wanted, in the end. | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: Daniel Peres is one of the saner Trust heads and uses his influence to keep the other members from devouring each other. So naturally, he's the first one the Minutemen kill. Loop is this to the crew of Minutemen he hangs out with: Lono is completely nuts, Jack is too apathetic at best and at worst would rather pursue self-destructive hobbies, and Victor is a cold-blooded killer. Loop is the one who figures out how to calm down a Mexican standoff. Wylie and Milo are the only Minutemen to resist returning to their old lives once they're reactivated, not that it does either of them much good. | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: There are a number of sequences where languages other than English are presented untranslated, most especially French, but also Spanish, Italian, and others. The title of the eleventh volume, "Once Upon a Crime", appears to skip the series tradition of having number-themed titles for each trade paperback. Unless you happen to know that "once" (pronounced "ohm-say") is the Spanish word for "eleven." A hood notes in Italian that a character has a large nose and threatens to shoot it off. | |

The Dreaded: While all of the Minutemen are dreaded a few inspire particular fear: Lono for being Axe-Crazy Graves reminds Jack that he's called "the Monster" for a reason. Being the biggest and toughest who favors his fists above guns. At one point he kills a man with a automatic rifle by simply taking it away from him and crushing the man's skull against the pavement with his foot. Milo was considered the cruelest member in his day. | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Both Rome brothers are horrified when they see a friend of theirs has child porn in his car. Megan is also disgusted by child porn, though her method of disposing of it left at least one innocent person framed, which she doesn't care much about. Loop is really uncomfortable when Lono decides to rape a woman that Victor was having an affair with. Victor Ray, in his spare time, goes out and kills worse criminals to make up for the lives he takes as a Minuteman. In the finale Graves is horrified that Augustus would murder his own son. | |

It even becomes a plot point in one book — when Dizzy and Wylie run into a pair of contract killers in New Orleans, the killers are able to figure out who Wylie is because they hear him yell "Fuck!" and recognize his voice from when he said it before in the dark. Annoyed, Dizzy says "You might want to expand your 'freaking out' vocabulary!" | |

Shepherd also had the distinct honor of being one of exactly two people on the face of the planet Lono the Dog genuinely likes, though we never learn what Shepherd's relationship with Remi Rome was like as he dies prior to Remi's reactivation. | |

Nonetheless, several families (Vasco, D'Arcy, Dietrich, and Vermeer) have no heirs who can succeed the family heads should they die (although it is possible that only adult children of current leaders can be heirs). | |

Artistic License – History | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The word found engraved at the abandoned site of the Roanoke Colony in 1590 was "Croatoan", not "Croatoa". It's a well-documented fact that "Croatoan" was the historical name of a small island off the coast of North Carolina (now called "Hatteras Island"), and most historians agree that the colonists at Roanoke probably relocated there to take refuge with the local Indians when they couldn't support their own colony any longer. The tribe (now called the Croatan) still lives in parts of North Carolina. The series never mentions any of these facts. Augustus Medici and his son Benito are very heavily implied to be descendants of the historical House of Medici, which is likewise implied to have been one of the founding families of the Trust. This is pretty implausible, since the main branch of the House of Medici went extinct in 1737 after Gian Gastone de Medici died childless. | |

World's Strongest Man | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_5d9bdbb1 | comment |
World's Strongest Man: Jack. Surely there are not many people able of give him a physical fight. The hulking bodyguard of Medici Family, Crete, also counts. In the assault of house of Medici, Jack recognize him an opponent, not just a mook ready to be crushed. Both men get into a fight that ending with both dead. A special nod to Lono. Not so strong in the same league of two men above, but he’s able to involve Jack in a fight that would kill a less tough person. | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_5fc9b36a | comment |
Vigilante Injustice: The series revolves around ordinary people being given the identity of someone who wronged them, proof of their wrongdoing, and 100 bullets and a gun that can't be used as evidence against them. While at least one case recipient is more than happy once he kills his wrongdoer, most end up sucked into various cycles of violence, are stricken with guilt, or end up having their lives ruined by the revelation. The ultimate moral seems to be that violence isn't an answer. | |

He certainly seems to care about Benito for most of the story, but when put into a position where he has to sacrifice either Benito or his power, he chooses Benito without hesitation. Ronnie was given an attaché with Remi's face on it as he effectively ruined his life however and despite hating his brother's assholish attitude being mom's favorite, Ronnie still cares about Remi and ultimately turn down the offer. Remi feels the same despite finding out Ronnie planned on killing him. | |

Meaningful Name | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Many overlap with Punny Name. Philip "Phil" Graves (as in "fill graves") is no stranger to getting people killed. Agent Shepherd guides and nurtures Dizzy. Ronnie and Remi Rome are a reference to Romulus and Remus. Augustus Medici's name suggests authority - Augustus, for the first Roman Emperor, and Medici, the most powerful family in Renaissance Italy. The Real Life Medicis fit the profile of the sort of families that founded the Trust, so it's entirely possible Augustus is descended from them. The minor character of Sergeant Dirtz, a dirty prison guard. Will Slaughter. He certainly will, for the right price. Lampshaded by one of his victims. Victor Ray (victory), whose intelligence and cool head mean he succeeds at every task set for him and ensure his survival at the end of the series, making him the only truly 'victorious' Minute Man. Echo Memoria's first name references the innocent and beautiful nymph of Greek mythology, relating to how he portrays herself. Her full name is also a reference to echoic memory. Cole Burns. He does, in the end. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain: As the finale marches on, Graves names Dizzy as his successor following the machinations that have seen him removed as Agent of the Minutemen; Megan first challenges this on the grounds that Dizzy's a woman, and then is blatantly about to call her a "spic" before she's cut off. Not to mention that Mr. Hughes wasn't allowed to become a fully fledged Minuteman due to the Trust's racism. Granted, this was back in the 60s when institutional racism was prevalent just about everywhere, but still. It's likely that the Trust no longer bars African-Americans from being Minutemen since Graves was grooming Loop to become one. | |

Sure, it's just part of a scheme to sell stolen cigarettes for the Mob, but the children genuinely like him, and he takes his duties as their resident ice cream man surprisingly seriously. Before leaving with Graves to start his new life, his last act is to make sure that the replacement ice cream man knows all the kids' names and their favorite ice cream, and to make him promise to give them free ice cream on his first day on the job. | |

Vengeance Feels Empty: Frequently, recipients of the attaché find out the hard way that getting revenge does not, in fact, magically make all of your problems vanish. | |

Chekhov's Armoury: There are so many hints and things dropped throughout the series, if you're rereading it. Like the Trust-pin Megan has in issue #4, a good long while before the Trust is even discussed. Or Remi's saying, "Anything in my hands is a deadly fuckin' weapon, Cole!" | |

Bolivian Army Ending: The final page of the series shows Graves and Dizzy in the burning Medici manor. Dizzy lies in Graves' lap, possibly because of a spinal injury, and points a gun at his head. The Brother Lono spinoff ends with Sister June/Agent May, shot in the abdomen, trying to drive herself and Father Manny, brutalized and blinded, to a hospital before they succumb to their injuries. | |

Bullying a Dragon: After Cole Burns is rejected by his former girlfriend Sasha, he hits up a bar on the night two robbers have tried to rob it and have decided to murder everyone inside after they saw the face of one. Attempts to involve Cole in this simply provide him an outlet for his frustration. Several people think it wise to insult or attack Lono. It is usually the largest-and final- mistake they ever make. | |

It Amused Me | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_820ac351 | comment |
It Amused Me: As the series goes on, it gradually becomes clear that at least part of Agent Graves' motivations for his "game" boil down to this. Though some of the attaché recipients are unwitting pawns given the opportunity to knock off Graves' enemies, and others are former Minutemen waiting to be reactivated, many more of them are just ordinary people with no relevance to him whatsoever. On some level, Graves is just a sociopath who enjoys testing people to see if they can be tempted to commit murder if there are no consequences. As we learn in issue #8 ("Day, Hour, Minute...Man"), Graves still likes to test people even when he's not handing out attachés. In that issue, he leaves a $50 bill on the floor at a café to see if his waitress will pick it up when she thinks he's not looking, and then "lets it slip" to her that Lono has $2 million in his briefcase to see if she'll try to rob him. She does, and Lono later brutally rapes her after getting his money back, leaving her with a hefty case of PTSD. | |

Straight Gay: Joseph Shepherd's sexuality is never discussed whatsoever, until it is subtly revealed in his flashback that was he was likely discharged from the army due to being gay and murdered a man for beating his lover Tim into a coma. Curtis Hughes angrily comments "at least you can hide what scares them," having been passed up for being a Minutemen due to being black by the exceptionally racist Trust. | |

Stating the Simple Solution: Benito suggested simply stopping Graves from playing his game in the fourth volume, Shepherd explains him it would start a war. It's only near the end we found out why: Graves is being supplied by Rothstein, weapon manufacturer with so much connection to the Trust and other government agencies killing him to stop the hundred bullets would cause a civil war between the Trust. When Will Slaughter killed him everything starts going to hell. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
Black-and-Gray Morality: The moral ambiguity makes it look like Gray-and-Grey Morality at first. Don't be fooled. However, lots of story arcs do go through the whole thing without making a single moral judgment on the characters. Whether or not people get what they deserve, as well as what, exactly, they deserve, is left very ambiguous. The only real moral lesson at the end is: if you live your life through violence and corruption, you'd better be prepared to die by them too. | |

Sasha does not take him back, remarking while she once longed for his arms around her, "they don't seem strong enough to hold me anymore." Whatever she felt for him is gone, and Cole sadly leaves her in peace. | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: Not an example of the villain, but Lono loses much of his cocky attitude and smug demeanor after being run off the Medici premises by Benito of all people. He later starts ranting at his fellow Minutemen, screaming at them to just shoot each other and get out of his way. Then he is possibly killed by something he survived easily earlier in the comic. By the finale Cole has also completely lost it after splitting from the Minutemen and watching his best friend Branch die. He messily kills Echo, Branch's killer, then dispatches three of the four remaining Trust members before allowing himself to die in an explosion. | |

Never My Fault | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: Occasionally a source of conflict for recipients of the attaché, who often become fixated on revenge because they're convinced that they can pin all their problems on one person, and are unwilling to acknowledge that they're just as at fault for the state of their lives as the people in the attaché. Chucky Spinks, the dice-throwing con man introduced in the third story arc, wants revenge on his childhood friend Pony (now a big-time bookie) for getting him sent to prison for seven years. But his revenge fixation really takes off when he also tries to blame Pony for stealing his girlfriend and getting him barred from craps games by spreading word that he's a hustler. The truth is that Chucky's girlfriend left him of her own accord because he's a terrible boyfriend, and that Chucky's too cocky to realize how obvious his scam is. His friend was trying to atone for the seven years by making sure he doesn't die from debts or by scamming the wrong people. Jack Daw initially tries to blame his heroin addiction on everyone from his family, to his ex-girlfriend, to his previous bosses, and can't accept that he wound up homeless, friendless and jobless because he's too selfish to think about anyone other than himself, but too unmotivated to know what he actually wants out of life. At the end of his introductory story arc, it turns out that the picture in the attaché was a picture of Jack himself, essentially prompting him to commit suicide. Graves himself is subject to this, despite his philosophy. He tries to pass the blame on to Augustus for forcing him to compromise his principles, and refuses to accept responsibility for choices he himself has made. Augustus Medici orchestrates the murder of his own son at the hand of Megan Dietrich, then justifies himself to a disgusted Graves by saying that he technically didn't force her to do anything, even mockingly parroting one of Graves' own lines about "choices." | |

He gave the attaché to Joe Di Maggio so he could avenge his ex-wife Marilyn Monroe, who Kennedy had murdered to keep their affair a secret. However, Graves points out that there were three other shooters in Dallas, and he's not sure if Joe fired the fatal shot. | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Loop Hughes and Dizzy begin the series as newcomers to a very violent game. By the end of it, the two are hardened fighters who can hang with the Minutemen. Wylie Times, easily the most dangerous man alive with a gun, believes Dizzy has the potential to surpass him. Sophie, the waitress that Lono brutally raped, later reappears as a confident self-defense instructor. The next time she sees Lono, she drugs him, locks him in a sauna, and gasses him nearly to death with ammonia. | |

Foreshadowing | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: There's quite a bit in issues 24 and 25, which introduced the readers to most of the Trust. Megan Simone and Daniel Peres have a conversation about his decision to prepare for the meeting rather than go out on the town which foreshadows his impending death' During the meeting of the Trust, Mia notes how the Vasco's have an aggressive history within the organization. Shortly afterwards, Javier Vasco starts moving against Augustus following his actions in the wake of Daniel's death, and later it turns out that he's been planning on getting rid of most if not all of the other families with Augustus since long before that. Although neither gets any dialogue or focus, Tibo and Joan are sitting next to each other at the meeting, and by the end of the series, are working closely together to react to the various other factions, despite having respectively sided with Augustus and Vasco (who seem vastly at odds) for a while. A smiling, Augustus suggests that Megan accompany Daniel when he is paged out of their meeting, to watch him negotiate and learn from him. Given his conspiring with Graves, he almost certainly knew that Daniel was going to be murdered, and, considering that Graves tried to get Megan killed first with an attache case, was likely sending her out in the hopes that she'd accompany Daniel all the way to the meeting and perhaps be killed along with him, quickening the breakup of the Trust. When Daniel leaves the meeting, after being paged, he makes a quip (apparently related to his business) that discovering and creating electricity were easy, but the distribution is the real challenge. The inception and official formation of the Trust ultimately turn out to be far easier than distributing the power in it reasonably, given how greedy and ambitious many of the Trust heads have been throughout the centuries and the more they get, the harder it is for their infrastructure to handle it once it's distributed so narrowly. As Daniel urges Graves to abandon his vendetta, he reminds him that Augustus was once his closest friend, turns out, they're still friends, and co-conspirators. Graves tells Daniel, "You'll be missed before Cole stabs him, and indeed, Daniel's absence is deeply felt as the others prove more willing to turn on each other for the rest of the series without his counsel. | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: Jack and Lono. Both take tremendous amounts of punishment. Jack once took three blows from a bat to the back of the head, before finally choosing to turn and headbutt the bat-wielder into submission. During a bare-knuckle boxing match between the two in Volume 10, Victor Ray's explains why to Loop: "It's pain, versus no pain. Fer one of 'em? Pain is all he ever feels. While the other...can't feel, 'cause his head is fucked." Even Victor is not sure which is which. | |

Code Name | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_a7defafd | comment |
Code Name: All of The Minutemen have nicknames referring to their personalities. Cole is known as The Wolf, likely for his predatory smile and alpha male personality. Lono is The Dog, because he's a big, dangerous attack dog who needs a strong hand on a short leash. Jack is The Monster — the biggest, most dangerous of all of them. Milo is The Bastard for his abrasive and obstinate personality. Victor Ray is The Rain, as he falls on the just and unjust unquestioningly at Graves' order. Remi is The Saint, likely for irony. Wylie is The Point Man, because he was a leader among his peers, and because every shot he fires has a point — a killing headshot. Loop is The Boy for his youth and newness to the job. Dizzy is The Girl for the same reasons. | |

Dramatic Irony: The deaths of the Rome Brothers. Ronnie was on his way to the hospital to see Remi, who was there recovering from both hands being amputated. Remi believed that their mother had died of a heart attack, which he never got the chance to learn was just "the agita." Ronnie, knowing their mother was okay, was likely going to use the information to comfort Remi and maybe try to give him a reason to live. But Ronnie got in a car accident on the way, and was brought to the very same hospital Remi was in. As Ronnie was being wheeled inside on a gurney, likely a quadriplegic, Remi jumped off the top of the building. Ronnie's eyes open in shock as he sees his brother about to hit the pavement. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_ac4ac8e5 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: With one exception, the title of each of the collections is based around its number. Book 1 is "First Shot, Last Call". Book 2 is "Split Second Chance". Book 3 (the only one to break the tradition) was originally going to be called "The Charm", as in "Third time's the charm", but it was instead named after the collection's main story arc ("Hang Up On the Hang Low") after it won an Eisner Award. Book 4 is "A Foregone Tomorrow". Book 5 is "The Counterfifth Detective" (a play on the word "counterfeit"). Book 6 is "Six Feet Under the Gun". Book 7 is "Samurai", a reference to the film Seven Samurai. Book 8 is "The Hard Way", a reference to a dice throw in craps (double fours, aka "Eight the hard way"). Book 9 is "Strychnine Lives". Book 10 is "Decayed", a phonetic pun on the word "decade". Book 11 is "Once Upon a Crime" (a reference to "once", the Spanish word for "eleven"). Book 12 is "Dirty", a reference to the film The Dirty Dozen. Book 13 is "Wilt", a reference to the basketball player Wilt Chamberlain (who had "13" on his jersey, and is famous for being the first NBA player ever to score 100 points in a single game). | |

What You Are in the Dark: A core theme of the series. Simply put: would you kill someone who wronged you if you knew that you could never be found out or tried for murder? The answer to that question speaks volumes about a person's moral character. Notably, one character (Mrs. Bugg in "Silencer Night") decides to kill her target, but later turns herself into the police because she comes to regret her actions. | |

The Man Behind the Curtain | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_b4ed2f29 | comment |
The Man Behind the Curtain: Toward the end of the series it's revealed that the mastermind behind Graves' briefcase scheme is Abe Rothstein. And Abe Rothstein is a short, fat arms dealer living in a dingy basement who dies in less than an issue. That said, he's apparently a very well-connected guy. | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: Spain, a white gangster, gets angry at Tio for calling his black lawyer "his boy" only for then to refer to cal his lawyer the N-word right after it. Also, a liquor store robber berating his partner for his lack of professionalism (the guy did a poor job reconnoitering the place and didn't know that the only person who could open the safe wouldn't be around at that hour), right before taking off his mask in front of the witnesses to take a drink of whiskey. | |

I Cannot Self-Terminate: In the series' very last scene, Graves seems about to allow Dizzy to kill him, both to do her duty as a Minuteman (since Graves just killed Augustus Medici, the last Trust head) and to ensure the Vicious Cycle of the Trust ends for good with his death. | |

Rugged Scar: Jack intentionally allows himself to be mauled by a tiger, giving him a tiger-claw scar on his forearm. Remi gets a slash across each eye in a knife fight. He asserts that they make him look cool. When Milo finally takes his bandages off, his face has a number of scars that a woman tells him don't look that bad and kind of make him look cool. Augustus Medici, though a Non-Action Guy, has a scar across his top lip that goes unexplained but helps establish him as a manly, well-traveled man. Augustus tells Megan not to cover the bullet scar on her cleavage and instead wear it as the badge of a survivor. | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_c3648b87 | comment |
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The Minutemen are not exactly buddy-buddy with each other, or with Agent Graves. About the only thing most of them had in common is a rigid and personal moral code which they do not share with the others, so this is probably to be expected. Same thing with the Trust, the Minutemen's origin is that the Trust needed police officers to stop them from killing each other and maintain a status quo. | |

Big Bad Wannabe: Lono is a ruthless sociopath and much smarter than he looks, and sets himself up as head of a third faction largely independent from both the Minutemen and Trust. However, on a board where the other players include Philip Graves and Augustus Medici, "smarter than you look" simply doesn't cut it. By the end of the story he's a ranting, gibbering maniac, and numerous characters have managed to get one over on him, including ones the reader likely wouldn't expect such as his former victim Sophie and even Benito. | |

100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_cedeae6a | comment |
Wacky Wayside Tribe: There are several instances where Graves gives the attache to people who don't factor into the larger story. One issue in particular sticks out; in the story, a woman whose teenage daughter ran away from home is aproached by Graves. He tells her what happened to her; she was picked up by a pimp, routinely abused by said pimp and eventually was picked up by a psycho who cut off her nipples and put cigarettes out on her face. Her pimp abandoned her and she was left homeless, dying in an all-night porno theater. The evidence then reveals who is really at fault in all this; her own husband, who for years sexually abused his daughter until she had enough and ran away. The woman guns him down in their home. None of this is ever brought up in the rest of the story. | |

Minor Living Alone | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_dadf222 | comment |
Minor Living Alone: In issue #11 ("Heartbreak, Sunnyside Up"), Graves informs a woman that her 15-year old runaway daughter, who left home when she was just 12, died of AIDS after becoming a heroin addict and spending three years working as a prostitute for an abusive pimp. Even worse, she only found out that she was HIV-positive when she wound up in the hospital after a john mutilated her with a knife—which left her homeless when her pimp cut her loose, knowing that she couldn't make him any money. Then at the end of the issue, we find out that the picture in Graves' attaché was of the woman's husband, who had been molesting their daughter for years, and that she actually ran away from home to escape him. | |

Hand Wave | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_dbb414ed | comment |
Hand Wave: There's very little explanation given for the actual mechanics behind Graves' "game", leaving a few lingering questions as to how he manages to pull off everything that he does with the attachés. In particular: How does he always manage to find the culprits behind so many different crimes, even when there were no witnesses? How does he still have enough influence to let recipients get away with murder when he's no longer a member of the Trust? And if he can always find evidence to prove targets guilty of their crimes, then why do they so often go unpunished by the police? The official explanation, given near the end of the series, is that he knows a well-connected arms dealer who can pull strings with various government agencies. It's not a flawless explanation—but considering there wouldn't be a story without the attaché plot device, it's forgivable. It also helps that he was still in contact with Medici the whole time. | |

Pedo Hunt: Megan ruined the life of a chef by sending child pornography to 69 random computers, one of which was his. No real reason; she was drunk and angry when she found the pornography on a website and her lady friends thought it would be funny. | |

Continuity Creep | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_de7891ec | comment |
Continuity Creep: As the series goes on, it gradually starts to become clear which of the Victims of the Week are actually key players in the overall Myth Arc. As former Victims of the Week start to make return appearances, and Call Backs to previous issues become more frequent, the story arcs becomes less about meeting the latest recipient of the attaché, and more about the ongoing conflict between the Trust and the Minutemen. | |

Didn't See That Coming: Augustus, Graves and Vasco did not plan on the new generation of the Trust to fight back like they did, which ruins their plans. They comment on the irony since their own plan was made when they were the new guard ready to dethrone the old one. | |

Buy Them Off | |
100 Bullets (Comic Book) / int_e0222ff2 | comment |
Buy Them Off: In issue #5, Megan Dietrich does this to Lee Dolan, a former restaurateur who had his life ruined when Megan inadvertently got him framed for being a child pornographer. When Lee shows up to kill her, she manages to pacify him by offering him $2 million on the spot. In the end, though, turns the tables and kills him when she finds out that he stole her Trust pin to get to her. When cornered by a very irate Wylie Times, Anwar Madrid offers to let him kill Shepherd and in exchange he'll give Wylie Shepherd's old job and restore his good standing with the Trust. Wylie shoots him. | |

Star-Crossed Lovers: Wylie Times and Rose Madrid. An assassin who serves the Trust and the heiress of one of its Houses. The two were deeply in love with one another, but Wylie is forced to kill her when she betrays the Trust, as he could never allow another Minuteman to kill her. He's broken about it for a long time after. | |

Crete, the mysterious, hulking beast of a man, is loyal to the death to the House of Medici, especially Benito. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: When Lono tries to rape a woman that was with Victor, Loop interferes only for Lono to say he'll have second and when Victor stops him he thinks he is just being selfish. Augustus's one little mistake: not counting on Graves having standards. There are apparently lines even Minutemen won't cross, and the cold-blooded murder of your own child is one of them. | |

Lono is a monster who commits savage acts of murder, torture and even rape throughout the series, yet he is clearly distraught when he learns that he unknowingly killed Milo, his best friend among the Minutemen. Remi is an immature, trigger-happy prick, but he lets an old woman go home before going on a rampage. | |
