(W) Jimmy Palmiotti (A) Siju Thomas. by Burns* Palmiotti & Thomas New York City: It's the roaring 20s and America's great metropolis has become the nexus of high society culture* cutting edge industry and perhaps the most shocking crime wave in our country's history. Known for its sinister and treacherous underworld* there's a new power waking up the city that never sleeps. Its name... John "The Hand" Smith. The Nickname is a given. An outcast and an orphan* Smith's massive right hand is nearly twice as large as his left* and when push comes to shove* you'd pity anyone that's gets in his way. Smith's only friends in the world are a fellow orphan and low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy* and a Asian femme fatale known as Ring a-Ling. In a world of crime* passion* and a touch of the fantastic* they will attempt to change organized crime... or die trying. From two of New York's favorite sons* independent director Edward Burns (Brothers McMullen* Saving Private Ryan) and comics' legend Jimmy Palmiotti (Painkiller Jane* Monolith).
