The New York Times - John Hodgmen

… as I reread from the beginning and up through the forthcoming collection, 100 Bullets: Samurai, the cumulative accomplishment of the story became clear. For while the backbone plot is occasionally preposterous, the self-contained, beautiful and uncompromising little crime stories that are its vertebrae are often astonishing.

Editorials

Douglas Wolk

Risso and colorist Patricia Mulvihill make Samurai seem even bleaker and more jagged: Their artwork is all wiry pen-lines, chiaroscuro and the dirty palette of dim electric-bulb light, and the faces and bodies Risso draws are contorted by stress and weight.
