:p Ah decent issue(got mine early as always, hahah!), but more laying ground work for the next two parts then anything else.... solicitation reads:

100 bullets issue: 70
While most of the remaining members of The Trust were gambling with their lives in Atlantic City, Agent Graves paid a visit to two brothers down on their luck. But when one gets his hands on Graves' infamous briefcase, the result will be anything but brotherly love.


Well here's the deal... gotta luv this series!! Not a lot happens but this stuff does.... spoilers......

Trust member revealed: old man with the goatee goes by the name Sigmar... funeral the trust attends to say their amens and such... The house of Nagel is remaining a part of the trust (as previously mentioned) however, Augustus, the sneaky trust head he is, leaves it up to the two children of Axel to fight over who will take control of the house. Sorta sounding like Augustus hopes they duke it out and the house gets absorbed into the rest of the trust... (nagel would roll over in his grave)
And as for the second half of this issue...
We meet the brothers, twins in fact, the Rome brothers, Ronnie and Remi, Ronnie is deemed to be the muscle and collector for a one shot gangster named Mimo Palladino, and his bro is a meat packer who delivers too, with a history of minor criminal charges... mama rome could be the cause for the brother's unsettling situation but who knows....
And at the end, dear ronnie is pissed off, with the flash of the attache' case already in the garage, which means Graves has already delivered, but its sorta left up to who actually got the case... plus a flash of a gas can (foreshadowing the past, maybe?)

Decent issue, just not a lot happening, yet... as for who gets the case, the solicitations for the next two issues basically state:

72: There's dirty work going down in Cleveland, as Agent Graves delivers the infamous attaché case to a butcher turned small-time crook. But since he has no apparent desire for revenge, why did he receive the briefcase in the first place? And does his overbearing brother have anything to do with it?

Looks like the butcher gets it, with no desire for revenge, his brother looks to be the 7th minuteman, and could very well be the picture inside the case... who knows, maybe if awake up call, could jolt the saint, but with azz, he could play it either way... who knows which one is the 7th, and who knows if thats even who we end up with at the end of the arc =D watcha all think? :eek:

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see which of the sibling of the trust will get the house or maybe their off one another (augustus can only hope)... it'll be a relay to the two brothers Rome going at it... hm...

Interesting stuff, as we all know what a history buff Azz happens to be. Anyway, it gets more interesting the more deeply you delve into it, but this is just an overview of the legend.

Seven Kings of Rome - Romulus

Romulus was the first king of Rome and the founder of the city of Rome.

Ths story of Romulus and Remus and the founding of the city of Rome is one of the most familiar legends about ancient Rome. The basic details are as follows:

*The god Mars impregnates a Vestal Virgin.

*When she gives birth to twins, Romulus and Remus, the king orders them to be left to die in the Tiber River.

*When the basket in which Romulus and Remus were placed washes up on shore, a wolf suckles them and a woodpecker named Picus feeds them until
The shepherd Faustulus finds Romulus and Remus and brings them into his home.

*When they grow up, Romulus and Remus restore the throne of Alba Longa to its rightful ruler, their maternal grandfather, and set out to found their own city.

*Sibling rivalry leads Romulus to slay his brother and
become the first king and founder of the city of Rome.

*Rome is named after Romulus.

Such is the condensed, skeletal version of the story of Romulus and Remus. While we can't present the truth of the matter, there are many more details that enhance the legend even if they fail to make the story coherent.

ahem Graves is a genious! and does anyone else get the feelin that what Augustus is saying is right, he is working for sumone in the trust? And perhaps he has an insider in Lono's group too because he knew about the fake hit, or perhaps that was his and Shepherds plan?
