En mai, le scénariste** Brian M. Bendis** lancera, avec son collaborateur Michael Avon Oeming (Powers, Takio), leur nouveau polar intitulé United States of Murder Inc.
L’histoire raconte ce que serait devenu les U.S.A. si les gangsters avaient gagné la guerre contre le F.B.I. Elle suit les tueurs Vallentino Gallo et Jagger Rose dont la montée en grade au sein de l’organisation coïncide étrangement avec la découverte de secrets très perturbants sur l’état du monde.
