Posted on by Leave a comment

The truth is dangerous—and the corporate media will never tell it. But here on our podcast, we’re the only ones fearless enough to say it plain…that there’s a cabal that runs this country, a criminal enterprise dating back to the founding fathers. Our futures are held by the Trust…and we’re ready to blow it all wide open if you like and subscribe. But first we just gotta answer this knock at the door…

100 Bullets: The US of Anger #3

100 Bullets: The US of Anger #2 is great writing and art but for long time fans

America has a problem. The streets are burning and a young man is dead–but it sure looks like the only reason Lono’s arrived at the funeral is to pay disrespects…

100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1 is interesting but might be geared towards existing fans

Posted on by

Not many people made it out alive from the fall of the Trust in 100 Bullets. Lono did—just barely—and it sent him spiraling on a years-long international odyssey. His one-time protégé, Loop Hughes, was the only one smart enough to walk away clean. But now tragedy has come knocking on Loop’s door, and the scent of blood has attracted a dangerous stray dog. Lono’s back in the United States, and he’s on the hunt…through a network of good ol’ boys and militias, megachurches, millionaires, and madmen. In Brother Lono, Lono unsuccessfully tried to save his own soul; in The US of Anger, he’ll play Satan to a host of demons tempting the United States to sell hers. The multi-Eisner Award-winning team of Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso has returned to its most famous creation, unleashing a new chapter in Vertigo’s greatest crime saga—told for the first time in stunning black and white!

100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1

(W) Brian Azzarello (A) Eduardo Risso

HAPPY 250TH, AMERICA. LONO’S BACK. YOU WON’T SURVIVE THE YEAR. Not many people made it out alive from the fall of the Trust in 100 Bullets. Lono did — just barely — and it sent him spiraling on a yearslong international odyssey. His one-time protégé, Loop Hughes, was the only one smart enough to walk away clean. But now tragedy has come knocking on Loop’s door, and the scent of blood has attracted a dangerous stray dog. Lono’s back in the United States, and he’s on the hunt… through a network of good ol ‘ boys and militias, megachurches, millionaires, and madmen. In Brother Lono, Lono unsuccessfully tried to save his own soul; in The US of Anger, he’ll play Satan to a host of demons tempting the United States to sell hers. The multi-Eisner Award-winning team of Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso has returned to its most famous creation, unleashing a new chapter in Vertigo’s greatest crime saga — told for the first time in stunning black and white!

100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1

100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1 arrives in July kicking off a New Eight-Issue Limited Series

Posted on by

On July 1, the multi-Eisner Award-winning team of Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso reunite for 100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1, the start of an all-new eight-issue limited series that brings their landmark creation back to the page with purpose and precision. This is not a return. This is a reckoning.

Not many people made it out alive from the fall of the Trust in 100 Bullets. Lono did—just barely—and the years since have taken him far from home. His onetime protégé, Loop Hughes, was the only one smart enough to walk away clean. But tragedy has come knocking on Loop’s door, and the scent of blood has drawn a dangerous stray dog back across the border. Lono isn’t back to make peace. He’s back to make trouble. Lono is home again, and he’s hunting through a landscape of good ol’ boys and militias, megachurches, millionaires, and madmen.

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.

100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1 is written by Brian Azzarello with art by Eduardo Risso, lettering by Clem Robins, and a main cover by Dave Johnson, with variant covers by Frank Miller, Jock, and Eduardo Risso. The 40-page debut issue is priced at $3.99, with card-stock variants available for $4.99, and is the first installment of an eight-issue limited series arriving on July 1, 2026. 100 Bullets: The US of Anger is published under DC Vertigo and carries an Ages 17+ content descriptor for mature readers.

Oni and EC Comics’ Epitaphs From the Abyss gets a Library Edition and Limited Slipcase

Posted on by

Oni Press and William M. Gaines Agent, Inc., are celebrating EC Comics’ history-making, headline-grabbing return Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition: Book One – the first in a new line of enhanced hardcovers collecting the entirety of the new EC library at Oni Press and debuting in two eye-popping editions, Oversized, unapologetic, and uncontrollably outrageous, both the standard Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition and the sublime Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition – Limited Slipcase & Portfolio Edition (limited to 1,000 units) will be on sale on July 14th, 2026—just as the new and nightmarish EC Comics horror host the Grave-Digger foretold.

Collecting Epitaphs From the Abyss #1–12 for the first time in a staggeringly deluxe, oversized (7.5″ x 11.5″) hardcover, both editions of Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition: Book One feature tales of depraved intention and traumatic tension in the undying EC tradition by relentless writers including Jason Aaron, Brian Azzarello, Corinna Bechko, Chris Condon, J. Holtham, and Matt Kindt, all realized into bloody reality by “all-slaughter” artists like Charlie Adlard, Tyler Crook, Kano, Klaus Janson, Leomacs, Alison Sampson, and many more. Both editions also feature more than 50 pages of “behind-the-screams” material, including process art, character designs for EC’s newest horror hosts, and a cover gallery for readers to gouge their eye, as well as all-new commentary from cartoonist Jay Stephens and series designer Rian Hughes. 

But that’s not all! Enter: the Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition – Limited Slipcase & Portfolio HC! – will feature an ultra-deluxe, limited-edition version of the Epitaphs From the Abyss hardcover comes packaged with a specially designed portfolio set featuring high-quality, 11” x 7″ cardstock prints featuring gallery-ready reproductions of all 12 covers by comics master Lee Bermejo, and packaged in a masterfully designed, foil-stamped slipcase featuring the work of artist Dustin Weaver and Eisner Award–nominated designer Rian Hughes.

In the history of comics, no one publishes a horror comics cover like EC Comics! Iconic, scandalous, and unforgettable, EC Comics’ historic horror covers are seared into the collective memory of generations. Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition – Limited Slipcase & Portfolio HC is the first-ever portfolio for the new EC Comics titles from Oni Press, featuring Lee Bermejo’s meticulously macabre covers spanning all 12 issues of the first hit series to immortalize EC’s long-awaited return. Having reaped international renown for his collaborations with writer Brian Azzarello on Joker and Batman: Damned, and with writer/screenwriter Mattson Tomlin on the Eisner Award-nominated A Vicious Circle, and countless unforgettable comics series, Bermejo has earned a reputation as one of the industry’s most iconic and formidable artists across a nearly three decade career. 

In 1955, the Comics Code Authority drove a stake through the depraved heart of EC Comics—the iconic publisher behind Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, and more instantly influential titles that redefined American horror for generations to come. Now, groundbreaking comics publisher Oni Press has done the unthinkable: resurrected the immortal spirit of EC Comics for the 21st century with a brand-new slate of wildly bestselling, critically acclaimed, and award-nominated new series . . . beginning with its flagship horror title Epitaphs From the Abyss! 

On July 14th, find out what brought the most notorious name in terror roaring back from the crypt as the Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition: Book One stalks into comic shops and book stores everywhere in two masterfully designed editions that no true fan – or blood-drinking fiend – will want to miss.
