100 Bullets #15

Dave Johnson's cover sets an immediately tense mood: a woman in a white strapless dress stands with a pistol pressed to her own temple, while a figure behind her — eyes closed, gun also raised — holds her in an embrace that feels equal parts intimate and dangerous. Published in 2014 by RW Uitgeverij as part of the Dutch-language Lion imprint, this fifteenth volume collects Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's stylish noir series, where trust is always a weapon. If you're drawn to crime fiction that keeps moral ambiguity right at the surface, this one wears it on its cover.
