@@StrangeBrainParts You should make videos like "Comicbooks that should be adapted into live-action tv-series" to increase ur audience. Your execution is very good.
Everything connected, every story, and every plot connected to an overall theme.. it’s in the details, especially with CounterFith Detective.. he was a Minute Man who fought against the waking up code word, and decided he rather live the life he has.. the sad fact was? Lono really liked him a lot, and respected him, but ended up smoking him unknowingly.. My favorite storyline was the Animal, him being a stone cold junkie, and a street fighter for money, until he fought Lono, and Lono came in with his shirt off with the words tatted on his his stomach- even after being woke up, Jack still went forward fighting Lono, and they fought till both of them were nothing but a sack of beat up meat walking each other out of that life into being a Minute Man again.. Cole Burns is another story I loved too.. or Spain!!!
The connections between every story arc each bit of dialogue astounds me to this day , to think one guy mapped it all out years ahead is just legendary ! The counterfifth detective is prolly one of my favourite parodies on hard-boiled fiction , azzarello parodies the dialogue so well and the moment lono realises in prison that milo was the bandaged man , beautiful character work! My personal favourite is the girl who lono raped getting some of her own back later on in the series and the last ten issues as the action ramped up is just cinematic art from Risso , lono shot and bitten running out of the Medici compound among countless other moments I know I'm replying to all your comments 😂 it's just that no one else has been here in last two years
The biggest problem with 100 bullets was that the elevator pitch was just too good. They could've easily made a whole anthology series out of Graves handing out attaché's to ordinairy people who've been wronged. Still, an amazing achievement and one of the greatest collaborations between writer and artist in the history of comic books.
I always find the beauty in a series is built not by its limitlessness, but its ability to set limits and then subvert your expectations in a logical way within them. Thanks for this video, one of my favorite comic series of all time.
Trivia insert: my favorite explanation for the briefcase in Pulp Fiction is that it's glowing contents are Marsellus Wallis' soul, the bandaid on the back of his neck covers the site where the soul was extracred.
Man, I LOVE your comics reviews! You always manage to put things in a way that gives me food for thought and sometimes that I missed when I read those same comics. Keep up the good work!
I also love how the entire series was a revenge story about a father being set on fire and shot.. his daughter plotted to take down all of them, while Agent Graves did too due to Medici plotting to gain absolute power.
It's beautiful indeed , but if you're referring to Megan , I don't think she was intent on getting much revenge per se , she did have a hard on for graves and the minuteman in particular but she herself did not have long held designs on revenge , atleast that's what I gathered from it , she was just going along with it , attaching herself to whoever she thought could take her with them to the highest rungs of power. The entire thing was graves digging graves for everyone but turned out he had already dug his own from issue 1
With all its faults, this series remains a favourite of mine. I loved the crossing of stories between the a-characters with that of the one-off b-characters, because their stories always mirrored each other. It proves Shakespeares theory of there only being 7 stories which WE Tell each other, true
Cool to see a new video. I’ve been interested in this series, based solely on a few compelling cover designs. My comic shop had some trades cheap awhile back, I’ll keep a more motivated eye on the series going forward
Just realised what this book reminded me of, a strip called Button Man written by John Wagner for 2000AD. Essentially, bored rich people hire 'buttonmen' to kill each other, battle royale style, across the world. Not really all that similar in the way it plays out rather the same sort of general concept but taken a different way.
Oh man I really want to watch this video but I haven't read the series and don't want to spoil it for myself; back in a bit. I can't express how much you inform my reading list. Keep up the amazing videos at whatever pace makes you happy!
Ha! That was me, my good man, I was begging you for a while.. I even tried to gather enough money to give to you. It’s an incredible comic.. I promise once it gets adapted to a live action series, it’s going to blow up something insane. I know this comment is two years old, but I still recall me asking you to make it into a motion comic, because you’re the greatest in that genre, and I feel only YOU can do it justice.. I do hope one day you might look into doing so, and seeing your comment here gives me hope, even tho it’s two years old.
@@MidTierVillainit looks like you just finished this magnificent series !! I know the feeling everyone keeps talking about the Sopranos breaking bad and others when this comic predated all of those the very first exercise in telling a story over nine years ! It would be an excellent tv adaptation over 5 seasons
Remember when I asked about a Tom Strong video you never made. Turns out I was thinking of your Black Hammer video. What confused me was the similer looking vintage robots.
I feel like our collections are very similar. Have you thought of doing episodes on Groo, Neil the Horse, Stig’s Inferno or other “less serious” funny books?
I've definitely wanted to do Stig's Inferno. Unfortunately, it is unfinished...as I'm sure you know. Still, maybe one day I'll do a video on unfinished classics and include it there.
No, Lono still lived, and they had solo comics for him called My Brother Lono.. and Loopy, and ole girl, are still living too. They were the new minute men.. but, since the guy who pulled the strings behind the scenes got deleted, the entire scheme died with him.
In recent years, the Roanoke colony mystery was solved. DNA services like 23 and Me and Ancestry have proven DNA links between several Native American tribes in that region and known ancestors of the lost colonists.
You got me! On videos with a 'regular' introduction I'm referencing Max Headroom. Good catch! This one needed a disclaimer first so I thought I'd jump right into the video after it. So, no regular introduction as per usual.
@@StrangeBrainParts, Selfish bastards. I appreciate the job you do. You bring attention to work that might have gone unnoticed. You have most definitely broaden my awareness of work that I passed over at the time. Now that I’m older with a little more money and time. I can catch up on what I missed, without wasting my time on the crap. Also, thank you for explaining Marvel fiasco that almost killed the industry in the 80’s. There was a lot of noise and pointing of fingers at the time. The whole industry was different after that. I remember losing a lot of my favorite titles from small time publishers after that. One was called Whisper. The typical family revenge story about a teenage girl who was a poorly trained ninja. It wasn’t great. But, it was something that I got hooked on. Apparently no one saw enough value in it to pick it up after. Or, did and I didn’t notice. Anyway, thanks again.
There are a lot of undiscovered gems from the 80's. I might have a script in process about a pile of series that seem to be forgotten. FYI: From what I remember, Whisper was pretty good. It was written by Steven Grant, if I remember correctly.
I haven't read the book, but around the 11:50 mark where you were talking about the story deliberately leaning into detective noir tropes; the panels you chose to back this appear more Frank Miller-esque than the rest of the art in the video. A bit more angular, deep shadows, possibly scrappier and cruder details on faces etc. Is this possibly deliberate or am I just imagining things?
Nope, that's Eduardo Risso's very clear lines style that you're talking about. Risso really synthesizes the information needed using as few lines as possible while still rendering his characters and props in a very realistic manner that's very reminiscent of the classic European artists style. Man is a genius and it is too bad we don't get to see much of his artwork on mainstream comics although the crime noir genre seems very fit for his style.
(still a great video) but the whole premise just left me cold. Somehow (a lot like Y the Last Man) I just can't bring myself to give a monkeys about this title. I think it's the disconnect between entry premise and overarching story and the fact I hate conspiracies.
I haven't read this series but wanted to. Edit: you ruined this for me lol. I was more intrigued by the Ring of Gyges-style story. Knowing it's really about some grand multigenerational conspiracy makes it a meh for me

This is my favorite comic series ever made, this, and Sandman.. such great writing, and art work.. phenomenal work
This series motivates me everyday stellar art and writing team
you are the most criminally underrated comics youtube channel and i can't wait to see your channel pop off.
Thank you very much! It would be great to be an overnight sensation after four years. But it's not something that motivates me.
@@StrangeBrainParts You should make videos like "Comicbooks that should be adapted into live-action tv-series" to increase ur audience. Your execution is very good.
Thank you very much. I will add that suggestion to the pile. :)
@@StrangeBrainParts i understand, i just think highly of your videos.
also i would recommend the Finder series by Carla Speed Mcniell

Would love to see an analysis of Peter Milligan's Shade run!
Looks like a good vid - I've just not finished the series yet
Good to see you man! And once again, thank you for an amazing video! ^_^
I just now understood the reference to 88 lines about 44 by the Nails. Great video!
I like the new editing style!
Jeez. I thought for a second you dipped out on us! Good to see you back (though I'm three months late) and with a 100 Bullets video too!
Nah. I'm too stubborn to quit. :)
Oh finally!!!! It's been a while i love your vids yo
i am happy to see a new video, keep up the great work :)
I've missed your videos, and I'mma bout to catch up with that I missed after this.
Great stuff!
I keep getting asked to adapt this as a motion comic

fantastic to hear your voice making videos again. great to have you back!
I like the refreshed visual design!
100 BULLETS! YES!
The plot of the Trust and the Minutemen might have been borrowed from Charles Bronson movie The Mechanic (1972).
been missing your videos
Great video as always!
Remember when I asked about a Tom Strong video you never made. Turns out I was thinking of your Black Hammer video. What confused me was the similer looking vintage robots.
Did anyone get the reference to the Nails song?
Honestly, I don't think so. :)
I was just reading this one. I need to finish it.
Thank you, Overlord. Have you reviewed "The Unknown Soldier"?
I feel like our collections are very similar. Have you thought of doing episodes on Groo, Neil the Horse, Stig’s Inferno or other “less serious” funny books?
I've definitely wanted to do Stig's Inferno. Unfortunately, it is unfinished...as I'm sure you know. Still, maybe one day I'll do a video on unfinished classics and include it there.
I read some of 100 bullets i remember there was suppose to be a movie but it not got made or its in production hell
I like how you started your video from issue 50 - spoilers maybe?
HBO could have a hit show if they adapted this series.
Can you do an episode on Maus?
I haven't checked your backlog, have you covered the Tecknophage comics?
No, I haven't.
@@StrangeBrainParts It's a interesting comic. They republished it after being out of print for so long. Might be up your alley.
Of course I enjoyed your video and explanation. My question is were all the members of the trust killed?
No, Lono still lived, and they had solo comics for him called My Brother Lono.. and Loopy, and ole girl, are still living too. They were the new minute men.. but, since the guy who pulled the strings behind the scenes got deleted, the entire scheme died with him.

I liked the review awhole. And I enjoyed that one of the 100 Bullets resembled a Nick Fury Agent of Shield comic cover. I enjoyed it a lot.

And I’ve got 99 problems, but thankfully this video isn’t one!
Do you like Nowhere Men from Image?
Hell yeah!
Did john wick steal 100 bullets.
Yes...
The video title should have been "100 bullets in 100 lines".
(still a great video) but the whole premise just left me cold. Somehow (a lot like Y the Last Man) I just can't bring myself to give a monkeys about this title. I think it's the disconnect between entry premise and overarching story and the fact I hate conspiracies.
