DC Vertigo Announces The Return Of Crime Noir Classic With ‘100 Bullets: The US Of Anger’

This July, Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso reunite for 100 Bullets: The US of Anger, an all-new eight-issue miniseries from DC Vertigo. And ominously announced a not as return, but “a reckoning.” Here’s more:

“Not many people made it out alive from the fall of the Trust in 100 Bullets. Lono did—just barely—and the years since have taken him far from home. His onetime protégé, Loop Hughes, was the only one smart enough to walk away clean. But tragedy has come knocking on Loop’s door, and the scent of blood has drawn a dangerous stray dog back across the border. Lono isn’t back to make peace. He’s back to make trouble. Lono is home again, and he’s hunting through a landscape of good ol’ boys and militias, megachurches, millionaires, and madmen.”

In Brother Lono, the titular character tried and failed to save his own soul. In The US of Anger, he becomes something far more dangerous: a catalyst for the demons already lurking in America’s shadow. As the country reaches its 250th anniversary, the world has finally caught up to the kind of story Azzarello and Risso have always told—one where violence, power, and rage collide in ways that feel uncomfortably familiar. Their new story cuts directly into the fractures of modern America, rendered for the first time in stunning black and white, bringing a stark new visual edge to a world that has never felt more timely. Vertigo was built on stories that cut deep. The US of Anger is exactly that kind of story.”

DC Vertigo’s 100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1 is written by Azzarello with art by Risso, lettering by Clem Robins, and a main cover by Dave Johnson, with variant covers by Frank Miller, Jock, and Eduardo Risso and comes out on Wednesday, 1st July.
