The campaign trail is paved with blood and broken
bones.
History diverged one fateful day in
1868, when presidential candidate Horatio Seymour lost his temper mid-debate and
violently attacked Ulysses S. Grant, earning him not only widespread popularity
but the presidency as well. Today, elections are decided by brutal, highly
publicized hand-to-hand combat in arenas called Stumps. And in a society that
adores violence this much, it's no surprise that powerful people get away with
murder. But not for long-not if Senator Jack Hammer and FBI Agent Anna Bell
Lister have anything to say about
it.
Eisner-nominated writer CHUCK BROWN
(BITTER ROOT, Rotten Apple) teams up with artist FRANCESCO CHIAPPARA and
letterer CLAYTON COWLES for a political action series set in a hyper-violent
world full of countless injustices, and people who have to fight for their place
in it.
