American Monster Comic (2016)

In the heart of a forgotten Midwestern town, a massive, heavily scarred stranger steps off a bus and rents a room. No one knows who he is—or what he wants. With a face burned beyond recognition, he becomes a figure of fear and curiosity, a walking mystery that unsettles everyone who crosses his path. But when the newcomer violently clashes with the town’s corrupt sheriff and a brutal ring of racist arms dealers, perceptions begin to shift. The locals start to believe he’s something they’ve long been missing—a savior. A man willing to take justice into his own scarred hands. However, redemption is not his goal. The truth is far darker. This stranger isn’t there to clean up the rot in the town… he’s there to claim it. To seize control of its corruption, its power, and its people. From Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets, Joker) and Juan Doe (Bad Reception), American Monster is a gritty, haunting crime thriller about vengeance, power, and the monstrous truths buried beneath small-town America. Because sometimes, the only thing more terrifying than evil itself… is what comes to replace it.
