ON THE STUMP (2020)

"SERIES PREMIERE! Each issue of arc one features a connecting variant cover by SANFORD GREENE! The campaign trail is paved with blood and broken bones. History diverged in 1868 when a pivotal presidential debate turned violent. Today, elections are decided by highly publicized hand-to-hand combat in arenas called Stumps. Unfortunately, the violence doesn't end in the ring, and powerful people can still get away with murder. Senator Jack Hammer and FBI Agent Anna Bell Lister are teaming up to bring it all down. Eisner-nominated writer CHUCK BROWN (BITTER ROOT) joins forces with Italian artist PRENZY (#Like4Like) and letterer CLAYTON COWLES to create a hyper-violent tale full of countless injustices-and people who have to fight for their place in it."

"The Slay Act, which would legalize Stump killings, has suffered some setbacks-but Thunder Bearer isn't about to let that stop him. Meanwhile, Jack and Anna decide to enlist some outside help, and Abe must choose between the freedom of the press and the safety of everyone around him."

"Jack and Anna hit a speedbump, Thunder Bearer's sinister motivations are revealed, and Abe pushes the power of the press to the extreme."

"Jack and Anna are back on the same team again, just in time to fight their way out of a very unique situation. Thunder Bearer adapts his plans, and Abe recruits his nephew in his dangerous quest for knowledge."

"END OF STORY ARC! Jack and Thunder Bearer race toward their final showdown. Nick grapples with his uncle's dying request. A brief glimpse of the upper levels of the mysterious death cult hints at how deep the corruption goes."
