yep...it's the best thing around at the moment.
i have some issues to offload if anyone's interested....
early ones, mid range ones and fairly recent ones.
i bought the collected editions, then decided to get the original issues and ended up with a few doubles.
i'll list them when i get home from work.....
...in another 12 hours.

oh fuck yes
it's the dogs danglies. i was sent the first issue as a freebie by the lovely chaps at gosh! comics. it was ok, but not all that. anyway, i was interested but never bothered picking it up as a monthly.
i latched on to it around the counterfifth detective story, which got me totally. then within a week i'd bought all the collected versions, and begun hunting down all the issues too. obsessive, but worthwhile.
it gets better and better, the dialogue is spot on, the characters are all fully rounded and have a story, and best of all, there's a total jeopardy to the whole thing. its a mystery wrapped up in an enigma etc... and not one character is guaranteed to survive. there's some major players in it that don't stay alive, and unlike most american heroes, stay dead.
the plot is convoluted, but was fully formed before the first issue hit the stands. a little more is revealed with each episode. plus there's some genuinly clever twists involving real people.
the episode featuring marilyn monroe, joe di maggio and jfk (although none are named) is my absolute fave.
if you ain't reading it...you should be!!

amazon carry all the trade versions, each one is between 5 and 7 quid and there are 7 of them.
i hate to say it, but start on the ground floor with first shot, last call, or you'll be horribly lost.
if you buy that one, you'll want the rest.

oh...on the subject of that long seeded script idea thing, there are three separate tales in first shot...
shot, water back has some interesting action going on in the background of the story which is all explained in book two: split second chance.
the seemingly throwaway 8 page story from the anthology vertigo: winter's edge 3 which rounds off the book, introduces some characters that will have repercussions all the way down the line in book seven: samurai.
you see what he did there? all the book titles are puns on their collected number, except hang up on the hang low, which i just don't get.
anyway, they are:
First Shot, Last Call
Split Second Chance
Hang Up on the Hang Low
A Foregone Tomorrow
The Counterfifth Detective
Six Feet Under the Gun
Samurai
and they are fucking excellent

Moose - I'd been wondering the same thing, but apparently "Hang Up on the Hang Low" is a gambling (craps?) term for rolling a 3.

I'd been avoiding getting these as the reviews were so good (fear that I would want them all - Now)
This thread and a recent cold meant that I picked up #1 on Monday. And #2 on tuesday.
I have a ?800 camera to pay off, so really should not be buying #3 this month. Honest. I won't..

Yeah, that's mine.
I launched it shortly after the comic was launched. It was the first of it's kind. Time soon ran away with me (as well as a screaming baby), and having so many covers to scan, and going through all the issues in as much detail- meant that I soon lost track.
And now there are so many other good 100 bullets sites, I think my time is better spent looking after other websites. I might kick it into gear again one day- but with a major redesign (which has been on my pc for ages).

Unfortunately not but then I'm not the most observant of readers. As a matter of fact its inspired me to go back and read them again to spot all the little things I missed first time round.
I see a very lazy Sunday comin up!

Hang up is the top curve of the number 3 and hang low is the bottom curve, hence:
Hang up "on" the hang low.
Hang up "on" the hang low.
