100 Bullets #94

The bold amber-and-shadow cover by Dave Johnson frames two armed figures — a heavily tattooed man gripping a pistol in the upper half and a woman wielding her own gun below — all rendered within the stark silhouette of a handgun, a design that captures the series' hard-edged noir perfectly. 100 Bullets #94 continues Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's celebrated Vertigo crime saga with "Chapter Six: Kill De Sac," promising the kind of tightly wound tension the series has delivered throughout its run. If you've been following this mature-readers thriller, this October 2008 issue looks every bit as sleek and dangerous as the story demands.
