Whoever did Brodie up forgot to check him for a cell phone. With the barest push of a button, Brodie knows help is on the way : Then recovery, and then payback.
But for a big guy like Jack Brodie, the line of payback is long and winding, and he may have brought it all on himself.
Brodie tried to rescue his wife, Marla, who left him to be a coke whore for a local, well-placed dealer. It's probably Brodie's fault that his wife no longer cares about him, their son, or even her own life. In fact, Brodie has a lot to account for, since he stole her love from his best friend.
Jack Brodie knows he's a low life, but lately, he hasn't been as proud of it. Damien is the only reason Brodie starts to care. Brodie wants to change. None of which even scratches the surface of Brodie's problems. Brodie's illicit occupation is as a thief for hire. A job that creates many enemies, and that kind of revenge debt is hard to shake off. What's more, Brodie's latest theft has exploded across the news of the city and even the country. Jack was hired to steal something from P-Fact Laboratorium. It's planet size big. Now why in the world would someone, with resources worldwide, want to set up a minor lowlife like Brodie?
There lies the tale.
BRODIE'S LAW is a thriller like I've never seen in a comic before. Oh wait, they already did that with SIN CITY.
BRODIE'S LAW, then, is SIN CITY 2.0.
Now I'm not saying BRODIE'S LAW is better than Frank Miller's SIN CITY. Frank Miller's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and RONIN continued that tradition of hard core comic like no other. Miller's SIN CITY took it even farther. Now Alan Grant, creator of the original JUDGE DREDD, returns to raise the bar.
BRODIE'S LAW is futuristic, and twisted. It's the definition of terms like hard-boiled and two-fisted tales.
