Description: Richard Wright is a white-passing African-American FBI agent operating in a white-nationalist gang, and his mission to solve the murder of a fellow agent is already going off the rails. While Richard’s target, the industrialist Wynn Morgan, discovers some potentially deadly dissension in the ranks, Richard is challenged by Morgan’s rebellious thugs to prove his loyalty to the movement in the most dangerous way possible.
The book is written by Bryan Hill, with art by Leandro Fernandez. Dean White worked on colors, Pat Brosseau lettered the issue, and Ben Oliver worked on the cover. Hill has worked on Detective Comics, Batman and the Outsiders, and several books over at Top Cow. Fernández is an Argentinian comic book artist, best known for his work on The Old Guard (which is being adapted by Netflix, starring Charlize Theron and KiKi Layne). American Carnage from Hill and Fernandez follows a biracial former FBI agent as he goes deep undercover to infiltrate a white supremacist group in Los Angeles.
About the issue:
Wynn Morgan’s business rivals get wind of Agent Sheila Curry’s off-the-books investigation into the white nationalist leader, but things don’t go well at all when they try to make an illegal quid pro quo with the vengeful FBI agent. Meanwhile, Richard closes in on the murderer of Agent Watson, with help from the unlikeliest of allies.
Richard is trapped. What began as a routine undercover mission for his next paycheck has devolved into a nightmare of mortal consequences. Having disrupted Wynn’s inner network and catapulted well past the point of no return, Richard fears he must sever himself from Sheila’s original assignment in order to survive—but before he can implement their final plan, a revelation from Jennifer forces him to accept his ultimate function within Wynn’s white nationalist empire.
Description: Bullets fly and blood flows when Richard’s plan to exfiltrate one of Jennifer’s childhood friends from the white nationalist narcotics business goes awry. Meanwhile, Sheila’s new FBI overlord makes his move as DC Vertigo’s Los Angeles crime saga continues.
Description: Identity, law, and purpose collide as Richard Wright is forced to choose what he’s really willing to risk to stop Wynn and Jennifer Morgan…and whose life he’s willing to sacrifice in the process.
