How far would you go for revenge? If you were given a chance at deadly retribution with a guarantee that the law could not touch you—in the form of a special briefcase containing an untraceable gun and 100 rounds of ammunition—would you take it? To the damaged and downtrodden, the offer is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to even their scores. But beyond the dilemma of whether to pull the trigger lies a deeper and even more troubling concern: just who is making these actions possible—and why? Collects 100 Bullets #1-19 and a short story from Vertigo: Winter’s Edge #3.

L’ispirazione si trova nei luoghi più diabolici. Mentre i dipinti di Faith scatenano un uragano di polemiche e applausi nel mondo dell’arte, la ragazza scompare misteriosamente. È una trovata pubblicitaria? Un grido disperato della giovane pittrice in cerca di aiuto? Oppure dietro c’è qualcosa di molto più sinistro, scioccante e soprattutto tremendamente eccitante? Nel capitolo conclusivo della saga firmata da Azzarello e Llovet, l’Inferno spalancherà le sue porte.

Faith’s descent isn’t always pretty, but it’s sexy as hell. After Faith’s paintings take the art world by storm, she vanishes as quickly as she comes, leaving tongues wagging. Is her disappearance a wild publicity stunt, a cry for help from an uninitiated artist, or something altogether too sinister to fathom? With Louis Thorne behind her catastrophic rise to stardom... who’s really to say? Faith and the devil go head-to-head in this final chapter of New York Times bestseller Brian Azzarello (Moonshine, Batman: Damned) and Maria Llovet’s (Luna, Heartbeat) erotically charged series about sexual and magical awakenings and those caught in the crosshairs of good and evil.

Aber die Fronten des düsteren Schlachtfelds verschieben sich zusehends, und einige dieser Gefangenen erkennen, dass, obwohl sie von Wänden aus Stahlbeton oder Mauern der Sucht umgeben sind, der Krieg keineswegs vor der Tür bleibt. Genauso wenig wie Kugeln, die niemand zurückverfolgen kann.
