*** Beware – spoilers may be found below ***

A man’s country can be both something to fight for…and to fight against. Just one of many difficult decisions punching Theo Montclair square in the face. Betrayal and rage are just some the easier emotions that Theo will suffer through on his long hard road towards redemption.

In American Monster #2 we begin to learn more about the characters and their relationships.  Thanks to Deputy Downs (a honest cop?) we learn that the disfigured man is Theodore Montclaire and that he sports the same back tats as the local gang leader.  And speaking of the local gang leader… somebody murdered his dog…

Azzarello and Doe are once again in top form.

American Monster isn’t for kids or those offended by mature language.
