When DC announced that the beloved Vertigo imprint would return, most of the titles they announced were new to the world. But the exception was 100 Bullets: The US of Anger, which will see Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso return to the long-running Vertigo title.
The first issue of the eight-issue miniseries will debut July 1.
100 Bullets first debuted back in 1999 and ran for 100 issues — plus a spinoff miniseries in 2014 featuring Brother Lono, one of several “minutemen” who helped safeguard the mysterious group known as The Trust. This new series will also feature Lono, one of the few surviving cast members from the original series, as well as his former protege Loop Hughes.
DC shared more details on the miniseries:
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.
The series will feature lettering by Clem Robins, a main cover by Dave Johnson with variant covers by Frank Miller, Jock and Risso, whose cover you can see below:
