Bêtes Noires & Dark Horses (comic story)

Bêtes Noires & Dark Horses was the second and last comic published in the Faction Paradox series.

Publisher's summary Edit

Faction Paradox's representatives start sweating blood as the bone-wielding Mayakatula runs amok, leaving an increasing trail of corpses in her wake. Meanwhile, a British Secret Service agent important to Faction lore arrives to observe the carnage in King George III's court. His name's Sabbath, and before he's done, he's going to shove himself into a conflict that's already got the Faction, the colonial Americans and more at each others' throats. All this, plus a very unexpected origin story gets unveiled.
