It contains scenes of on-panel decapitation and extremely over-the-top dialogue. The series is notable because it is one of the first comics to be drawn specifically for the iPhone with the intention of distribution through the App Store.

This led the BBC to suggest that "Mr Holden and his colleagues may have accidentally hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
