Big John Irons Vol 1: No Heroes - Stephen Brennan - Bog

The already gritty world of 1920s Chicago receives a bloodsoaked metal antihero. A tank that wears a trench coat. "It's like Batman, but a little more adult. And there's a really compelling human element to this story that could almost stand by itself." - Author "Wow! The story is very well written, but the characters are amazing." - Amazon Reviewer Young Jack's quest for acceptance in Rick Bara's gang takes a deadly turn when two of its members are brutally murdered by a mysterious rival. An almost mythical mob enforcer whose name people are afraid to say out loud. John Irons. Eager to prove himself worthy, and blissfully unaware that Rick doesn't care if he lives or dies in the attempt, Jack accepts the job of tracking down an elusive foe in a city overflowing with sin. But his single-minded search yields an incomprehensible truth: John isn't a man. He's an ungodly creation, the likes of which no one has ever seen on Chicago's streets. As dangerous as he is unfeeling. And Jack's name is only one on a very long list of men destined to die at the monster's hands. Caught between an oncoming storm and his own foolhardy determination to be a man, Jack charts a suicidal course forward, gambling dozens of lives on the strength of his own craftiness and fortitude. But will it be enough? And is he truly the hero of the story? Witness the beginning of a Chicago legend.
