This American Carnage exclusive puts a leash on an exposed undercover agent
A good crime story keeps readers on their toes with twists that shift the direction of the story, and Vertigo’s American Carnage has consistently delivered in this respect. Written by Bryan Edward Hill with art by Leandro Fernández, colorist Dean White, and letterer Pat Brosseau, this series about a disgraced FBI agent infiltrating a group of white supremacists puts it central character through the wringer, forcing him to break the law in increasingly severe and surprising ways to prove his loyalty. The first arc ended with the biggest bombshell yet: Richard’s employers know about his affiliation with the FBI, and they’re willing to give him information about the murder he’s trying to solve if he gets rid of agitators within their ranks. Their leader is running for the U.S. Senate, and while they want the support of the alt-right, they can’t have that support leading to public behavior that puts the campaign at risk.
