You probably know this already, but Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso’s DC Comics/Vertigo series 100 Bullets is one of our all-time favorites here at Cosmic Comix.

The Eisner Award-winning creators of 100 Bullets return to Vertigo with a new nine-issue miniseries, kicking off with a debut issue priced at just $1.00!

Even if you only rarely pick up a Star Wars comic, this probably is one you want.
