review:
'The United States of Murder Inc. Volume 1: Truth' by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Michael Avon Oeming is a story of alternate history where the mafia is thriving and in charge of parts of the US.

Our protagonist is Valentine Gallo. He is charged with delivering a package outside the mafia zone to a senator. Accompanying him is a beautiful killer named Jagger Rose who will protect Valentine, but that's all. When the senator dies in an explosion, Valentine is suspected in the murder. He also learns a big secret from his mother. She has been grooming him his entire life to be a double agent for the FBI and inform on his mafia family.

It's an interesting idea, but it feels unfinished. The art also felt a bit unfinished at times. Sometimes I liked the art and story, and sometimes, it felt rough and rushed.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Jinxworld, DC Entertainment, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
