100 Bullets Makes a Comeback with 'The US Of Anger'

DC Vertigo: 100 Bullets Reimagined

At the recent New York Comic Con (NYCC), DC Comics announced the much-anticipated return of the acclaimed comic series, 100 Bullets, now titled The US Of Anger. Created by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso, the new storyline reignites the saga of Lono, a character who embodies America's darkest impulses as he returns to incite chaos and violence.

A Look Back at 100 Bullets

Originally running from 1999 to 2009 for 100 issues, 100 Bullets captivated audiences by delving into themes of revenge through the enigmatic Agent Graves. He empowered individuals wronged in their lives by providing them with an untraceable handgun and 100 bullets to exact their revenge, ensuring that investigations into their actions would cease.

In a previous series release in 2014, Brother Lono explored Lono's life after the events of the original series. The return of Lono in this new series indicates a continuation of his tumultuous journey, amplifying the series' exploration of darker themes.

Revitalizing the Vertigo Brand

The reintroduction of 100 Bullets is a significant step in DC's efforts to revitalize the Vertigo imprint. After officially being 'shuttered' in 2020, with some stories transferring to the Black Label, DC Comics is now eager to breathe life back into its iconic Vertigo line. Confirmed at NYCC, the Nice House By The Sea comic is also transitioning back to Vertigo, marking a fresh start for the brand.

What to Expect

Fans can expect The US Of Anger to push the boundaries of storytelling, combining Azzarello’s narrative finesse with Risso’s stunning artwork to create a gripping and immersive experience.

For those invested in the intertwining stories of vengeance and morality, the rebirth of 100 Bullets promises not just a comeback, but an evolution.

Stay tuned for more updates as this highly anticipated series unfolds.
