Ripperland

Gore spatters and unlikely romance blossoms in a near future revenge thriller graphic novel that's From Hell meets Westworld!

The year is 2188 and Jack the Ripper has returned to London.

For the last century, a shattered post-Brexit England has operated as a massive Victorian theme park in exchange for American military and financial protection. But when an American mogul's grandson is killed in the heart of London, the delicate status quo is threatened.

Is the killer a brilliant maniac? Americans taking advantage of their superior technology? Or the English Underground Resistance, wishing to throw off the yoke of American oppression and re-join the modern world?

American Special Agent Jesse Holden and local British Police Detective Edwin Fogg must overcome their clashing ideologies in order to find the truth in the foggy streets of 22nd Century London.

Collects Ripperland #1-#4.
