As a cute little early birthday present for America, DC Vertigo is releasing 100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1 on July 1. Adorbs!
More seriously, the new eight-issue limited series will reunite writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso for a return to the iconic world they created in 100 Bullets, continuing the story in a way that DC promises is “not a return. This is a reckoning.”
If you’re not familiar, the initial concept of 100 Bullets was that people with a grievance were handed an untraceable gun and 100, untraceable bullets, as well as a file about the person who had harmed them, and were told they can take their revenge with no legal consequences. Things spun out wildly from there, leading to the spinoff Brother Lono. Here’s the synopsis for the series:
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.
By the way, I’m not just being glib about the America’s birthday thing… Per multiple panels I’ve seen where DC reps have talked about the book, its clear this is taking place now, in 2026, as America reaches its 250th anniversary. Per the release, the “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 hits stores on July 1, 2026. Check out covers by Dave Johnson and Eduardo Risso, below. Additional covers by Frank Miller and Jock will be revealed at a later date.
