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.
