In an interview with Collider, Showtime President of Entertainment David Nevins provided the following, brief update on development of the Vertigo comic.

How is development going on 100 Bullets? What has that process of adapting a comic book been like for you?

NEVINS: I always get a lot of questions about 100 Bullets. We’re in it right now and working on the script, and I think it’s a very interesting idea for a television series. We’re not ready to make a move just yet, but it’s an important piece for us.


It was recently reported a few months back that David S. Goyer was developing the show for Showtime. Specifically, Goyer would serve as writer and executive producer of the drama series based on the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning comic book that published 100 issues between 1999 and 2009. The series was created by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Eduardo Risso, who many of you know from their respective runs on various Batman and Superman titles.

100 Bullets is an Eisner and Harvey Award-winning comic book written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Eduardo Risso. It was published in the USA by DC Comics under its Vertigo imprint and initially ran for one hundred issues.

The initial plot of 100 Bullets hinges on the question of whether people would take the chance to get away with revenge. The mysterious Agent Graves approaches someone who has been the victim of a terrible wrong. Graves gives them the chance to set things right by providing them a handgun, the eponymous 100 bullets, and documentation of the person primarily and personally responsible for the recipient's woes. He informs the candidate that the bullets are completely untraceable, and any law enforcement investigation that uncovers one of these bullets will immediately stop.

Though all of the murders enabled by Agent Graves are presented as justifiable, the candidates are neither rewarded nor punished for taking up the offer, and appear to receive nothing other than personal satisfaction for their actions. Several people have declined the offer, while others accept. Those that accept see their actions unfold with varying levels of success or failure. The attaché and Graves' "game" is later revealed to be only a minor part of a much broader story.

HBO is the perfect place to show 100 bullets on. It's a comic that deserves to be on a network that will let them show all of their material. Can't wait for them to show the story of the father who was prostituting his own daughter.
