Damn.
This series just gets better and better as it progresses. The characters are becoming more interesting, and the story arcs are incredibly well plotted.
And I cannot say enough about Risso's art. It's simply perfect.

The mystery is woven so subtly that even a vague hint about the history of the Minutemen and the untraceable bullets becomes a shocking development.

There's a perfect summary of this series in this volume:
"You got a gun, an' a hundred bullets, but then...then ya just drone on about all yer fucked-up relationships an' how much you suck, get to the fuckin' point here, okay? How's it end?"
Yeah. My thoughts exactly.

Better than volume 2, but not as good as 1 or 3. I think this is the point at which I'll drop the series because, while it has moments of greatness, it's too often that there will be an issue that entirely disinterests me. In addition, the art style still hasn't grown on me (amplified by the fact that every female character remains gratuitously hyper-sexualized in the art style).
Rating: 5/10

The plot thickens in this volume. We learn more about The Trust, and there are still so many open questions. I definitely have to go find the next volume. Or maybe I have read back a bit. We get to see Dizzy again, and Graves is still at work. The stories in this volume were excellent, with a nice blend of poignant (the baseball player's story, for instance) and a bit of dark humor now and then. This is definitely a series I will continue, but as I said, it leaves questions open, which means I may have reread. The author and artist just pack so many details in. This is one to pay attention to. Overall, very good work.
