The United States of Murder Inc.

In this six-issue Marvel series from 2014–2015, writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Avon Oeming reimagine the American underworld as a shadow government, where organized crime families operate with the same power and influence as the federal government. Set in a world where Valentine's Day is a national holiday for mobsters and the president is a crime boss, the story follows a young man caught between his family's criminal legacy and a dangerous new role as a federal agent. Bendis and Oeming's signature pulp-noir style—honed on Powers—gives this alternate-history crime saga a gritty, cinematic feel that explores loyalty, corruption, and the cost of power.
