  Easily my favorite of what I've read so far in this series. A gripping noir tale that just happens to include an attache case full of untraceable bullets. As in all good hard-boiled detective fiction, the case is little more than a starting point, virtually irrelevant. It's merely there to get our hero on to the real case, which is really only a placeholder for what the story itself is actually about: the real identity of Milo. And as self-contained as the story is, the brilliance of Azzarello's work here shines through in the way that the narrative threads from the larger story are so effortlessly woven into Milo's smaller story. Graves, the Trust, the Minutemen, Croatoa ... all are brought in totally unobtrusively, yet all are utterly vital.

  100 Bullets continues to deliver the goods, just not a well as it did in the previous volumes. This hard-boiled, pulp story ran too long for this reader. Still, if I had the option, I'd have given this story 3.5.

  The fifth volume of 100 Bullets consolidates the best strengths of previous installments while delivering a consistent narrative that is not completely dependent on the larger mythology of the series. This chapter, entitled "The Counterfifth Detective", is fully derivative of noir fiction clichés, but this time Brian Azzarello manages to generate some really interesting riffs on those familiar ideas, all without losing sight of what is truly original and interesting about his own oeuvre. And Eduardo Risso once again finds a way to outshine himself, delivering some of the best artwork yet seen in this series. Overall, the best volume of the collected 100 Bullets to date.
