Two brothers: one, a man of God; the other, a man of the Mob. In a
city on the edge of chaos, they'll do anything to survive.
The story begins in New York City... one hour into the future. Crime
runs rampant, rogue cops patrol the rubble-strewn streets, predatory
gangs steal anything that isn't nailed down, and the once powerful mafia
Dons cower in fear in their tenement prisons. Someone is killing the mob
chieftains one by one, and the last survivors call on Alonzo, the Family
Man, to hunt down the murderer. But it won't be easy--not when Alonzo's
own brother Charles, the gun-toting Monsignor of the corruption-ridden
New York City police department, is a prime suspect.

The tension established between Joe's cartooning instincts and the bleak
subject matter produces a finished product satisfying to anyone serious
about comics art. -Phil Hester
