Acclaim Gets Rights To DC Comics' "100 Bullets"

The pulp noir comic chronicles the dark, moral-testing exploits of Agent Graves, a rogue member of a secret organization, who provides people with the opportunity of a lifetime -- an attache case containing the proof, the gun, and the carte blanche immunity to exact revenge on a person who's done them an irrevocable wrong. Marc Metis, Senior Vice President of Brand Management for Acclaim, said that "In keeping with its comic book origin, we will challenge players to 'think before they shoot' and allow them to explore the moral implications of their actions." The series has won numerous comic book industry awards, including Harvey Awards for Best Writer, Best Artist, and Best Continuing Series; and Eisner Awards for Best Continuing Series, Best Penciller, and Best Cover Artist. 100 Bullets will be available in 2004 across the next-generation consoles.
