American Monster #1 <\/strong>is part of an on-going series published by Vertigo Comics<\/strong>. *** Beware \u2013 spoilers may be found below ***<\/p>\n In a small Midwestern town, a large man with a horribly scarred face gets off a bus, and takes a room. He spooks the locals\u2013nobody knows him\u2013or do they? It\u2019s impossible to say be-cause he seemingly has no face. The man\u2019s intentions remain unknown, until he takes on a corrupt sheriff and the rural crew of racist arms dealers. The town\u2019s impression of the man changes, and he\u2019s seen as a hero\u2026until his real intentions bubble to the surface. The man isn\u2019t there to end the gang, but to take it over. And he\u2019s just getting started.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n American Monster is a winner. Not a done-in-one or by the numbers mini-series, American Monster is instead a crime\/mystery story created by a talented team. There are a lot of questions set up in this issue and my guess is that as the answers play out over the course of this yarn, they won’t always be what we’re led to believe.<\/p>\n Is the disfigured man, a war hero, a criminal or both? Who blew up his vehicle? Was that bank robbery money the disfigured man flashed? And how does he tie in to the local gang leader who just brutally murdered two people?<\/p>\n Azzarello and Doe make for a great creative team. It’s nice to have a comic with both a high level of artistry in the writing and art. I’m looking forward to more of the same in each issue.<\/p>\n American Monster isn’t for kids or those offended by mature language.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rating:<\/strong> American Monster #1 is part of an on-going series published by Vertigo Comics.
