United States of Murder Inc: If the mob takes over America, I hope they don't turn the country into a Jersey suburb.
That's the scenario that United States of Murder Inc. sets out to explore. The mob has taken over a good portion of the country and is on uneasy terms with the federal government. Valentine Gallo is sent to deliver a message to senator on his first job as a made man. Things go south after the meeting when the senator get killed in an explosion and threatens the uneasy truce that has been the status quo. Everyone from the mob families to the FBI want answers leaving Valentine stuck and his contract killer partner Jagger Rose in a hard place trying to get them. Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming team up again to deliver an interesting take on an America that replaces patriotism and apple pie, with made men, criminal maneuvering, and codes of silence.
