100 Bullets #91

As Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's long-running Vertigo crime saga barrels toward its conclusion, issue #91 — "Chapter Three: Closer" — arrives with a cover by Dave Johnson that pulls no punches: a massive, close-cropped face rendered in stark black, white, and red, teeth clenched around a cigarette, fingers pressed to the temples in what reads as barely contained fury or concentration. The halved composition — cool upper half, blood-red lower — gives the image a split-personality tension that feels entirely at home in this world of moral ambiguity and calculated violence.
