For more than two decades, 100 Bullets stood as one of the defining works of modern comics, set the bar for crime comics, and defined what Vertigo could be. The series reshaped Vertigo’s crime-noir identity, set the bar with multiple Eisner and Harvey awards, and proved that creator-driven crime fiction could be as literary and ambitious as anything in the medium. Its influence has never faded, and its relevance has only sharpened.

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.
Eduardo Risso Variant Cover:
100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1
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.
