UNITED STATES OF MURDER INC #1 | Rating/Review

Publisher: MARVEL COMICS
(W) Brian Michael Bendis (A/CA) Michael Avon Oeming
DOUBLE-SIZED FOR REGULAR PRICE!

From the creators of the Eisner Award-winning, best-selling POWERS comes a brand-new world of crime fiction like you've never seen before. In this oversized first issue, you will discover a world in which the families of organized crime never lost their stranglehold on the United States. Today is the day that Valentine Gallo becomes a made man, and it's also the day he learns the secrets behind the organization he has served since he was old enough to walk. But it is mysterious hitwoman Jagger Rose that will forever turn his life upside down. Be there when shocking secrets of this new world spill out onto the very past page. This bold new vision of crime fiction hearkens back to Bendis' earliest work in crime comics, while also giving you everything you expect from the creators of POWERS, one of the most successful and longest-lasting independent comics in history.

Bendis doing what he truly does best, writes crime fiction in a stylized world. Oeming's art is, well, it's Omeing: beautiful, stylized, and something all his own. An interesting "hook" first issue that leaves me wanting more. Art=4/4 - Story 3/4

Trent's Rating: 3.5/4 ATOMIC BETA MeV's
