No, I was only introduced to graphic novels fairly recently, and as such I am a total heathen

yeah I was underwhelmed by it I must admit.

a great (terrific) series of novels(my favourite so far) are these - mainly due to the amazing art, morality issues and grittiness

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_Bullets

Image



Basically a mysterious stranger appears in the lives of numerous gangsters, no-hopers and street thugs with a briefcase and offers them a gun with 100 untraceable bullets, with a picture of someone they'd like to kill and gives them the option to kill them with no comeback. But there is subterfuge afoot. Great novels, amazing illustration and quite a suspenseful series when read back to back as the pieces all come together

Quote:
PlotThe initial plot of 100 Bullets hinges on the question of whether people would take the chance to get away with revenge. The mysterious Agent Graves approaches someone who has been the victim of a terrible wrong. Graves gives them the chance to set things right by providing them a handgun, the eponymous 100 bullets, and documentation of the person primarily and personally responsible for the recipient's woes. He informs the candidate that the bullets are completely untraceable, and any law enforcement investigation that uncovers one of these bullets will immediately stop.

Though all of the murders enabled by Agent Graves are presented as justifiable, the candidates are neither rewarded nor punished for taking up the offer, and appear to receive nothing other than personal satisfaction for their actions. Several people have declined the offer, while others accept. Those that accept see their actions unfold with varying levels of success or failure. The attaché and Graves' "game" is later revealed to be only a minor part of a much broader story.

Quote:
His "unassuming terraced" Northampton home was described by an interviewer in 2001 as "something like an occult bookshop under permanent renovation, with records, videos, magical artefacts and comic-book figurines strewn among shelves of mystical tomes and piles of paper. The bathroom, with blue-and-gold décor and a generous sunken tub, is palatial; the rest of the house has possibly never seen a vacuum cleaner. This is clearly a man who spends little time on the material plane."

With his first wife Phyllis, whom he married in the early 1970s, he has two daughters, Leah and Amber. the couple also had a mutual lover, Deborah

Speaking of Anonymous, this company is just asking for it (or it's an FBI sting) because they are going to get the shit hacked out of them.

:roll:

Quote:
Anonymous, the loosely associated hacktivist group, is inherently anti-establishment. Their unofficial logo — a suit without a head — is testament to this.

Now, in perfectly ironic fashion, French company Early Flicker is attempting to trademark both the logo and the accompanying slogan: “Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.”
