Absurd Ventures and Dark Horse Comics present a tale of two totally normal, completely damaged families in a world of corrupt business, inept politics, bungling crime, self-righteous justice, and problematic leisure wear.
The first appearance of a new crime-fiction saga created and written by DAN HOUSER (Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Bully), produced and with additional writing by LAZLOW, and edited by SHELLY BOND and DANIEL CHABON, with a murderers' row of artists including DAVID LAPHAM (story layouts and pencils), CHRIS ANDERSON (finishes), LEE LOUGHRIDGE (colors), NATE PIEKOS (lettering), TYLER BOSS (series covers), and variant covers by SIMON BISLEY, MARTIN SIMMONDS, JOE QUINONES, MARGUERITE SAUVAGE, and more.
Verona, Wyoming. A small town like any other. A land of hunter and hunted. Apex predators… and regulations just waiting to be broken.
Culture has become a war, everyone has everything they need yet are miserable, and American life is still dominated by real estate, violence and snake oil.
From the tax-avoiders in the manicured wilderness of Wyoming, to the thought police of Brooklyn, to the confused political battlegrounds of Florida, one thing is certain: This tragedy is someone else's fault.
