From Eisner Awardânominated writer/artist Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) comes a brutal new vision of capitalism by combat . . . In the future, the World Finance League exists to benefit all, randomly choosing those from among the billionaires and trillionaires of the world and presenting them with a choice: Either donate half of their assets to the common goodâor defend them in ritual combat. Reigning champion and real estate magnate Ted Brooks has 22 victories under his beltâdefending the wealth he schemed and stabbed to getâwhen he is forced to face his ex-wife, Luella Dominguez, in a fight to the death. Luella has been training, waiting for this moment. But will she have what it takes to defeat the man who would do anythingâabsolutely anythingâto keep his fortune? Itâs every shareholder for themselves when death and bankruptcy collide!
