But who is this Agent Graves and why is he doing this for these people?

Promising complete immunity for its use, no repercussions in any form whatsoever to their being, the only question that remains is if they’ll pull the trigger or not. What he offers them is an opportunity like nothing they’ve seen before, one that is free of any legal repercussions, and it takes on the form of a suitcase containing a handgun, a hundred bullets, and documents pertaining to the sole person who is the source of the wrong they’ve been the victim of. However, one man, known as Agent Graves, goes around finding individuals who have lived through a terrible wrong in their life, something that they’ve had to keep close to their hearts forever but had no true closure about. 1) about? The story is set in a world not much different than ours where individuals of all colours live to embrace happiness, success, and tragedy.

But what would one do if they were granted the chance to wreak vengeance on those who brought them pain, without a single form of consequence for their action? Published from June 1999 to April 2009 in exactly 100 issues, legendary writer Brian Azzarello teamed up with acclaimed artist Eduardo Risso to deliver a Vertigo crime series like none other that explores morality plights where individuals are invited to contemplate vengeance and bury themselves following an act they could never undo. Only a few find (or create) the opportunity and find the means to complete the circle and the law remains the only true barrier that keeps these countless victims from taking it into their own hands. Many contemplate the idea but never act upon it, judging the consequences far too devastating not only to the one who’s receiving the violent end but to themselves as well. An age-old concept where emotions dominate over reason, where violence seems to be the only logical behaviour to adapt for those blinded by rage towards the fate they were given.
