American Carnage

A new, thrilling crime saga from writer Bryan Hill (The Wild Storm: Michael Cray, Detective Comics) and stellar artist Leandro Fernandez (Northlanders, The Old Guard) and Dean White (The Punisher).

INTO THE HEART OF DARKNESS

Former FBI agent Richard Wright is about to receive that rarest of gifts--a second chance. But like anything worth having, it carries a high price.

After leaving the Bureau in disgrace following the accidental shooting of a child, Wright has been steadily failing to make a living as a private investigator. When his old mentor asks him to infiltrate a group of white supremacists in Los Angeles to discover who is responsible for the death of a fellow agent, he realizes that this is his last shot at redemption.

For a light-skinned, biracial man like Wright, however, it's an especially dangerous assignment. The organization is being torn apart by a power struggle between a charismatic leader with national political aspirations and the old-school rank and file who prefer cross burnings to public speaking. Navigating this minefield of hate while maintaining his cover will stretch him to the breaking point--and what he discovers in the belly of the beast will test everything he knows about himself.

Written by Bryan Hill (Detective Comics, Wildstorm: Michael Cray), with powerful art by Leandro Fernandez (Northlanders, The Old Guard) and Dean White (The Punisher), American Carnage collects all nine issues of the electrifying Vertigo crime saga.

Bryan Edward Hill is a screenwriter, comics writer and editor, best known for his work at Top Cow Productions, Postal, Romulus and Aphrodite V. He is currently writing The Wild Storm: Michael Cray for DC Comics, based on story from Warren Ellis.
