There are times over the course of its run when 100 Bullets has been the best comic series going. Once upon a Crime is not one of those times, but a new book in the series, no matter how far it slips off the rails, is still going to be better than a good deal of what you read in the same month.

The first couple issues of 100 Bullets tells the story of young ex-gang member Dizzy Cordova. She was arrested, and while she was in prison some drug lords killed her husband and child in a drive-by. She is now out of jail and that was when she met the enigmatic Agent Graves. Graves seems to know everything about her, including the truth behind the killings. He ... has an odd offer for her to settle uneven debts. He has a briefcase that has irrefutable evidence of who the killers are, one hundred bullets, and a gun.

Basically, there’s a mysterious guy who turns up periodically, offering various people a briefcase with a pistol, 100 bullets and hard evidence of somebody who’s screwed them over hard. They can choose whether to go after the guilty party, walk away, or do whatever else they want. If they get caught by the cops, they’ll immediately be set free with no record of the crime existing, which is pretty handy all things considered. This setup has led to some interesting choices by the screw-ups, dumbasses and schmucks who get the briefcases. It turns out there’s more to the offer, though: it’s actually a recruitment ploy to test out potential employees. The job?
