100 Bullets Vol. 6: Six Feet Under the Gun

Different from the other volumes as this shows a little bit of the lives of some of who I guess you'd call main characters. And as I've said in every review so far, great and this can't be understated or said enough the writing is absolutely perfect and some of the best. Art and lettering is awesome,the coloring, all the art is great. I absolutely love this series and recommend ANYONE who enjoys GOOD WRITING, DIALOGUE AND STORIES THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD AND ALL CONNECT, to read this. You don't need to be a fan of comics even cause this is great all around literature. Can't sing these series praises enough amd this volume was especially enlightening.

100 Bullets never fails! And vol. 6 is no acception. The way the 6 separte stories for 6 separate characters are told prove that Azzarello and Risso are masters of their craft. I won't get into the plot because of all the twists and turns and surprises, but they're all worth the read! can't wait to move on to vol. 7: Samurai!

Love this series. I'm keeps heating up between graves and the trust. I still like the first the best but this is strong as well

This is the sixth installment of the trade paperback editions of the "100 Bullets" comic books series, covering issues 37-42. It is difficult to review without giving away parts of the plot, and in noir literature this good, that would be as criminal as most of the characters. Suffice to say that Azzarello's writing is in top form, as in the artwork by Risso. Azzarello and Risso pack an incredible "one, two punch". The story line for this series is full of twists and sub-plots, as a good noir novel should be. The artwork creates moods that accompany perfectly, frequently taking slightly grim or humorous side-tracks in the 'extra space' of the panels. If all graphic novels and comics were as well written and drawn as this there would be no question as to whether it was an art form to be taken seriously (not that there really is, in my opinion). While all of the single trade editions could stand alone, why would you want to do that to yourself? I don't recommend starting here.... start with number 1, read this one after number 5, and before 7. You are going to want to read them all so you might as well do it right.

This is the first and only 100 bullets Trade PaperBack that I've read, so I don't think I got all the context, but I still think that Six Feet Under the Gun is a good stand alone collection. I tend to read about comics that I'm interested a lot through reviews online before I buy them, so I had an understanding of the basic premise of "100 Bullets" and given that small knowledge, I found Six Feet Under the Gun to be pretty accessible. This is basically a collection of six 22 page stories about individuals from the "100 Bullets" world. Unfortunately, there aren't any origin stories, and none of these are particularly expositive of the characters personal history. They all just show something important happening to the character which sets them onto a different path. It's important to know that this story utilizes the "I (Agent Graves) give you 100 Bullets to kill this man who ruined you" device very, very sparingly; these stories enrich existing characters. The characters are: Dizzy Cordova, Agent Graves, Lono, Wylie, Cole and Benito. I don't know much about art from a technical standpoint, but I think that Edwardo Risso's artwork is pretty cool. As an interesting factoid I found out, Risso is an immigrant from South America and he speaks Spanish, so the writer, Brian Azzarello, has to find a different way to communicate ideas to him. I don't have very much experience with crime comics; I've read the "Preacher" series and a few other graphic novels. I didn't think that this TPB was very objectionable, it's profane and mildly violent, although not like Preacher is. I wouldn't consider giving it to small children, although mature people can handle this. Six Feet Under the Gun, a good set of stories, highly reccomended.

This 100 bullets collection is one of the best pieces of art and crime noir on the comic shelf. This collection features six stories following six of the most important characters in the series, dizzy, cole burns, lono, graves, benito, and wylie. It has some of the best short stories i've ever read. This is Azzarello and risso at their upmost best. Awsome.

Graves is hovering around, hoping to foment some problems in the ranks of the trust. While that is going on, we get the back story of several of the pivotal, or presumably pivotal characters that Graves is gathering and influencing with his mystery briefcases and past ties. This includes minutemen both new and old.

The story is amazing

Peu de choses à ajouter, 6 ans et demi après le premier commentaire client, sinon une insistence particulière sur la très grande qualité du travail rendu par le duo d'auteurs, à la complémentarité très justement mise en avant par le préfacier, Greg Rucka. Mention spéciale au dessinateur, Eduardo Risso, qui ne fait que s'améliorer de volume en volume. Cette histoire, au fond, de conspirations entre puissants groupes occultes (je n'ai lu à ce jour que les 6 premiers volumes) est particulièrement prenante du fait de la maîtrise avec laquelle sont narrées les micro-histoires qui, telles un puzzle en construction, révèlent peu à peu l'intrigue ou les intrigues principale(s). Cette oeuvre mérite totalement l'appellation de "roman graphique" (graphic novel).

Great read

Genuinely one of the best series I've read in years. What appears to be a random set of stories with a tenuous link between them, the narrative evolves into a labyrinthine web of intrigue that pulls you in and won't let you out

Classic

A great series!
