In the sprawling, steampunk metropolis of the big city, it's up to one group to keep the peace and uphold the law: the officers of The Precinct! Mortimer Hill is a veteran officer who has busted his fair share of criminals, but when a high-ranking official ends up dead and mechanical monsters start causing trouble, he'll need to use all his wits to get to the heart of the mystery. Alongside his new partner Josephine Winters, a representative from the enigmatic Alchemy Academy, Mort will face the biggest case of his career... and the most dangerous! Join writer Frank J. Barbiere (The Howling Commandos of SHIELD, Avengers World, Five Ghosts) and Crizam Zamora (Swords of Sorrow: Black Sparrow & Lady Zorro) on an action-packed adventure full of mystery and magic, set in the world of Bill Willingham's steampunk epic, Legenderry!
