Valentine is a made guy, and Jagger is a hit-woman working for the most powerful family in the world. Now, they've been tasked with finding out who has violently betrayed their entire way of life. But Valentine is carrying a massive secret, one that would send the entire country into a civil war. All this, and we're introducing new characters on almost every page! From the creators of the Eisner Award-winning Powers comes a brand-new, creator-owned blockbuster in the making.
THE UNITED STATES OF MURDER INC is one of my favorite new series this year. Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming have proven in the past what they can do together. They're doing it again with a fascinating take on the world of mobsters. There's plenty of action, violence, and suspense to be found. This really is a series you'll want to check out. You'll be happy you did. Read Full Review
Only in issue three, catching up is very easy and you won't be disappointed. A strong story that rises above just being another mob story. Read Full Review
Art wise, the pages put forth by Michael Avon Oeming are again a treat, his layouts both inventive and visually appealing. His use of shadow is fantastic, using shapes and silhouettes to further bolster his unique stylings. That said, the color work comes off as a bit distracting this time around. Though the garish, monochromatic hues work in making the book decidedly different and most assuredly memorable, it also makes it tough to discern exactly what is going on in certain panels. Minor nits to be sure, but in a book this well constructed even the smallest stand out. Read Full Review
Overall, USMI #3 is a fast-paced issue with lots of twists, turns, and unique page layouts, so new readers would do well to be current before wading into this issue. Read Full Review
