100 Bullets #39

In "Ambition's Audition," Mr. Shepherd intervenes to save Benito Medici from an assassination attempt, thrusting the reluctant heir into a moment that could redefine his place within The Trust. Written by Brian Azzarello and brought to life with moody precision by Eduardo Risso, this issue deepens the mystery around Benito’s role and his father Augustus’s true motives, all rendered in stark, atmospheric detail. The cover by Dave Johnson captures the tension with a striking, shadowed portrait of Benito, poised on the edge of a dangerous choice.
