Jonny Double is a highly effective early collaboration between the creators of 100 Bullets, and is in some ways a better work than the latter item. This is principally because Jonny Double is considerably shorter (it was only four comic issues in it's original incarnation), but given that it mines much of the same thematic territory as 100 Bullets, it presents a similar story without the excesses (cliched conspiracy theories, shock-value violence, etc) that were needed to keep the latter series going over the course of a 100-issue run. In some ways, Jonny Double is the successful short story version of the bloated novel that is 100 Bullets - and with Eduardo Risso's fantastic artwork front-and-center, how can you lose? ( )
