United States of Murder Inc.: Truth

In 2015, Marvel launched United States of Murder Inc.: Truth, a one-issue comic from writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Avon Oeming. The series expands the gritty, mob-run alternate America introduced in the earlier United States of Murder Inc., centering on a corrupt, crime-family-dominated nation where the Mafia has become a shadow government. Oeming's stark, expressive artwork defines this standalone chapter, which delves deeper into the underworld's brutal politics and its impact on everyday life. Though brief, the issue matters as a focused, standalone entry in the creators' ambitious reimagining of American crime mythology.
