    Plot
    Carmen Daschier/Red Claw is a sort of bounty hunter of demons and supernatural beings when she's hired to investigate the massacre of cattle on a ranch attacked by a supernatural animal. Someone from her past warns her about what's happening... her brother Sebastian...

    The comic shows the tragedy Carmen experienced as a child, which changed her life in a painful and brutal way. Carmen is the owner of the Red Claw Ranch, and she doesn't need the money she earns by eliminating demons. On this ranch, some unknown people warn her that all her land is cursed.

    Carmen is accompanied by a talkative and annoying lizard named Yargoss and calls herself the King of the Lizards.

    This story is set in 1867, so it more
